Excellent Matt. They have a great balance in the hand and the edge that can be obtained is superb - far better than the IO Shen.

I would recommend finding somewhere to try them in the hand first. I went here (in London) https://www.japaneseknifecompany.com/knives/shop-by/knife-brands/miyabi.html
with a view to buying one as I set my heart on it, but found the handle very uncomfortable to hold, and the action didnāt feel right.
For everyday cooks knives, I have 4 Lion Sabatier that I bought about 15 years ago. They all sharpen nicely, they are excellent knives, and just do the job without me worrying about bashing them about a bit.
The designer of this knife is an obvious shoe thread lurker
The Vertoku site also offers these
A purposeful looking thing akin to Dr. Martens Chukka boot?
The bottom pic looks very like my Chinese chefās knife.

Various Henckels Twin Fin which I guess was their attempt to appeal to the Global knife market. I got them for peanuts on Amazon about 7 years ago.
The other is a 33 layer Japanese Damascus steel knife which cost about Ā£100 - sharp is not the word.
