Your Knife That Outperforms Its Price

[billk1002]

This Yoshimitsu comes to mind, white 1 and nice and thin behind the edge, I think I paid $65.

Moritaka AS, Munetoshi W2, Mazaki W2, Masahiro VC, Takamura R2

My Moritaka 210mm AS. An excellent value for an AS knife at its current CKTG price of $190.00, although I paid less when I acquired it some years ago.

Were the Moritaka's tuned, or was this the original geometry?

My Moritaka has its original geometry.

The Kyoshi Shindo Blue #2 Funayaki https://www.chefknivestogo.com/shbl2gy21.html really surprised me. Very thin BTE and it's a joy to use. The handle gets some criticism, but it's light, I replaced mine with a similar length octagonal handle that I had. The new handle was too heavy and threw off the balance, went back to the original until I find a suitable replacement.
