the sakai yusukes seem to have a little more consistent fit and finish and i prefer their handles a great deal more compared to stock konosuke handles. yusukes handles are smoother a tad wider really nicer overall IMO. i guess thats where the price difference goes. the performance of the white steel itself is identical to me with both companies. hd steel is my favorite steel so far of any gyuto ive used but for sujis i like carbon especially if your using a sujihiki for its intended purpose. a guy on another forum recently ordered a masamoto ks 270mm suji from koki (jck) for $327 saya included. masamotos run long so its actually going to be 280-290mm in length. masamoto would be a good option perhaps if you wanted a little thicker suji with less flex perhaps.
