If you're like me, and you are still interested in one of the Gyotos, you can actually find them for the same price, or cheaper-depending on tax and/or shipping-at chefknivestogo.com. I'm really disappointed that Massdrop is offering these at the same price as most retailers. Considering the extended shipping time, and questions about if Yaxell will honor the Lifetime Warantee, I'd consider this particular drop a pass. Massdrop has had several past drops for these Dragon knives, but some are branded as Yaxell, while others as Apogee. Definitely search for "dragon" to find all of the relevant listings to "request".
If you are looking to try out the BD1N steel, which I recommend, CutleryandMore released their house line of knives under the Nexus brand. They feature the same BD1N steel but at less than 50% the cost of the Yaxell line. I recently ordered the Nexus prep knife just to see how they compare. I haven't received it yet to comment, but you can get the 8in Chef knife for $59 or a Chef and Paring knife combo for $79. These seem to be promotional prices, so may expire at some point.
