lol just by the looks id totally go with the first one... other one looks like some home cook hipsters knives, not real professional knives... just my 2 cents..
One of the michelin star restaurant ive worked they were using misono... they are nice, just not my style...
For handles i'm getting to like your standard oval straight wood japanese style... simple and efficient... im liking less and less western style handles...
Ah before i leave japan i will go to Masamoto tsukiji and spend a couple hundreds... ;P

I LOVE the D-shaped Japanese handles. One of my Tojiros has a D-shaped handle. I'm definitely leaning towards the Misono, probably the 270mm. I've actually looked a bit into Masamoto as well, just not that much.
Aura really does make a great product. A chef friend of mine recently got one for his birthday and I got to play around with it for a bit, and the feel of it is awesome. If I could get a Misono without the western handle, that would be ideal haha.

I like tojiros they are great for the price.

Out of those three I'd say go for the misono if you want to use it at work and for practical things, get the florentine (if you even can) if you want a cool custom knife.

get a mac knife

Meh macs are decent.. but def not the best lol...

I'd get the Aura or Misono, don't really like the florentine

First one looks the best
