I've been holding back from posting anything... but figured I might as well, not to brag on what I have, but more to share my thoughts on the knives itself
These knives were purchased over the last 2 week
Sakai Takayuki Homura Guren 225mm Gyuto
Very intimidating due to it's size and weight, but cuts insanely well. Absolutely in love with it, but unsure about long term use due to it's weight.

Migoto White #2 270mm Sujihiki
Absolutely fantastic to use. Extremely smooth and easy slicing. Highly recommend anyone considering a Suji, am definitely keeping an eye for a gyuto version of this from Migoto!

Sakai Hokushin White #2 180mm Gyuto
Feels absolutely solid for a 180mm, sturdy and extremely well-finished. However, unfortunately not sharp enough OOTB, which was a bit of a disappointment.

Miura Knives Itadaki series White #2 210mm Gyuto
Really love the feel of this. Again, feels very solid, and cuts well. However, blade is actually shorter than 210mm (not that it's a bad thing).
