You are my hero. That is quite a collection. The third Devin from the left looks like ITK ~240, I had a 225, should've never sold it. What's the last one on the right? Those Haburns look great too, the western looks very nice. The Markos too, I only have 1 now and waiting for another...... too bad I couldn't keep all of them, stupid money limitation, what is all that about?My much better half recently asked me the dreaded "How many knives do you really have?" question ... I stammered and mumbled something about really not that many & I have sold a bunch ... So as it has been a while & (hopefully) she is NOT on KKF ... this is them (for the most part) ... as you can see 'sold a bunch' is a bit of a reach ... LOL ...
IMO The only good thing these last 18+ months have been is many of the makers I have been on "lists for" suddenly showing up ...
My Haburn, Tsourkan & (particularly) my Devin families have really grown up ... but seriously just being able to play with such a variety is particularly fun ...

I'll second that Haburn western gyuto compliment, that thing looks nice. Also noticed regarding your bought some/sold some comment that your table has gone from half full to both sides now, but you can still add a leaf, so plenty of room to keep adding!
That's what I thought it might be, very cool. Looks to be around 240-250 long, hard to say from the pics though.That is a MagnaCut in a octagonal (Devin took pity on my given my predelection for WA handles ... that makes 2 of them ...).

dang, those markos...
@MontezumaBoy Great collection! What’s the white handled western gyuto?
