As a former Sushi chef of 7 years, also a knife nut. Just because your standard is low doesn't mean it should be the standard.

I'd also suggest the SamTheCookingGuy Nakiri knife. It's under $80 and it performs like a $100-$150 knife in my 2 months of experience with it so far. It looks like we own 2 of the same other knives...

You should try Yu Kurosaki SG2, Takamura or Shibata Kotetsu SG2, the knife's balance point, grind, heat treatment and edge geometry will be a step up from the Yaxell.
