To be honest, I'd pay the extra couple of bucks and go to JKI. Handle is way better and you have Jon inspecting the knives.

Zakuri knives from Rakuten has a pretty good handles imho (at least for the price. When you paid ~40$ for a knife you get what you paid for).

XooMG has some Zakuri knives from Rakuten and might help you finding the right one, as there are seems to be different versions, made from blue#2 and blue#1.

I already contacted OP via PM, but s/he seems to have already made a purchase. Hope they follow up with their opinions when they get the knife.
