Forget it man this bat is whack, it's got poobrain!
I use CdC's recommendation of the San Jamar boards with the hooks, they are pretty great and the hook comes in very handy to hang them to dry.

I agree with having the largest that comfortably fits on your counters but also have at least one that is the largest that can fit after removing everything from your counter. I have a generic cheap one I use rarely but has come in extra handy to have that much surface.

I think you're going to have to get something made outside the US, as far as I know there are not any options for really good knives made in the US at that price point.

Here's my quote from Watanabe blades about 5 years ago:
270mm Gyuto with a single beveled edge $686.00
togidashi included

That's just the blade, no handle. I paid about $200 for a custom handle from Stefan Keller in Hawaii and $60 for the final assembly by Dave Martell. Prices might have changed and of course it's a custom 270mm.

Here are some pictures Dave posted: http://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/showthread.php/246-Stefan-s-Handle-Gallery?p=92654&viewfull=1#post92654

This just reeks of bullshit in so many ways.

Overinflated price, but for a limited time you get an AMAZING discount.
Try to imply it's made in Japan by traditional craftsmen; it is not.
