FWIW, Food & Wine surveys chefs every year and lists their top preferences in knives. Every year, Misono comes out on top by a wide margin, though a quick search indicates they're not exactly easy to find.

Well, yes, I know you can find them online, but they're not easy to see in person.

Reading up on these, I see they're intended to be used right-handed only, which eliminates them for me. You also shouldn't put them in the dishwasher, again, a no go. But for someone right-handed that intends to take care of them properly, this is as good as a knife gets according to the pros.
