$200
The latest batch has a slightly inconsistent finish and grind, still a great knife, especially at this discounted price.
Handcrafted in Miki-city Japan by Shigeki Tanaka, these Ginsan stainless steel knives are a little more rustic, middle-weight grind, high heat treatment, sharp behind the edge with a little weight at the spine.

Japanese Kitchen Knife | Gyuto (Chef Knife)
The Gyuto, or Japanese chef knife, is widely considered to be the most versatile kitchen knife for both professional chefs & home cooks alike.
With a variety of sizes and shapes available, generally the Gyuto is similar to western style chef knives in shape, however thinner, lighter, made of harder steel and retains a sharper edge. They consist of a flat mid-heel section for chopping, a curve towards the tip for rock cutting and a pointed tip for precision work.
If you are going to purchase just 1 good knife, the Gyuto (or perhaps the similar Santoku) would absolutely be the knife to choose.
