If you look around the forum you will find folks giving Konosuki-san's shirogami high praise and I agree. This is a knife that took me some time to get as right around the time I placed my order, apparently Japanese television did a story on Konosuki-san and he suddenly became very busy! I really enjoy it but I'm off to chase something else again. 
This was purchased from Knife Japan:
https://knifejapan.com/unshu-yukimitsu-hamono-kurouchi-gyuto-200mm/
The knife has been used very little. It arrived to me tipped and I did a little work on that (see pic) and a sharpening to clear the very thin and slightly brittle edge it arrived with. No issues with that now. The tip is still ever so slightly angled but I don't notice it at all in use and resolved to leave it be worked out in subsequent sharpenings.
It's light, nimble, feels very nice and the keyaki handle is solid and actually quite nice. The spine is ~4mm out of the handle (tapers quickly) so it feels good on your finger.
Please post that you will take it here in this thread.
PRICE = $210USD $200USD
Price is Paypal and includes shipping in the USA.
Let me know if you have questions.
