A while ago Miura had a W2 180 gyuto by Y. Ikeda sharpened by Nomura at a very reasonable price.

Had the opportunity to buy a Kato western from a forum member for like $680 about a decade ago and thought “nah that’s too expensive.”

For me it was a Konosuke MM blue#2 - 240mm Gyuto. Brand new with a beautiful handle for a very good price. Somehow I didn't pull the trigger.
Still wish I did

Got a message from Devin on IG offering me an extra 240 MagnaCut, in the earliest days of that steel, that someone had backed out on. Being short on cash at the time after recently paying some major bills I declined. In hindsight I should have pimped out the wife or whatever it took to come up with the cash.
