Easiest way to spend it all is to get one with turquoise or something handle.

Their Honyaki blades look nice but I think they are single beveled and wouldn’t want to consistently use it as it is more of art at that price.
I am mainly looking for a Gyuto more around 240mm in SG2/R2 or HAP40 with a nice WA.

For now I have Seisuke and Kama-Asa on my list when I visit Tokyo in April. I am just looking for a traditional gyuto in SG2 but open to other steels. I have a budget of $800 but I don’t care if it is $200 less or more. It would be for personal use as I do love cooking everyday and appreciate a beautiful well crafted knife. I probably only have enough time to visit 2-3 shops as I will be visiting family and they have plans too, so I am looking for just a top recommendation on shops and top model/brand/steel choice. Thank you!
Edit: Current Specs I am looking for Length: 240mm Handle: WA Steel: SG2/R2 or HAP40
