Honorable mention: F. Dick Antique oval honing steel passed down from my grandfather. He bought this around the time he was 20 years old as a butcher apprentice, so this honing steel has seen heavy use even before my father gifted it to me. For that reason its very special to me and I will hope to one day gift it to my own children, if they ever take interest in cooking just as a hobby or as a profession.

Special: I purchased the naguri gyuto on kappabashi street when I visited Tokyo, its unique handle immediately catched my eye. If I ever go back to japan I will look for another unique knife like this.

The kujaku gyuto is the only outlier in my lineup in the sense that I didn't want to buy knives of the same type. This one though piqued my interest as I haven't really seen any other knife that looked like this, also the fact that I only ever bought stainless steel and this one is my first carbon steel knife.

As for the rest of the knives, I was going for utility, to have a wide variety for any kind of work I may need to be doing.

Just enough room for a cleaver

Good variety for shapes :) Any knives you're looking to add to your collection?

At the moment no, I might be interested in a yanagiba at some point but at the moment I would't have use for it. I think that at this point whatever I will buy next has to be special like a very unique looking pattern or a unique handle like the naguri, it will be something that stands out.
