These knives are made of ZDP-189.
Does anybody know these?

and this one, made from DPS-32 ?

I dunno, but the bottom one looks nice. Are those your pics, or from a website?

And I notice some type of logo and "VG10" ghosted over the images. Are you sure they're ZDP and DPS-32 confused?

As far as I know ZDP189 is not available to the public, so I think they may be factory knives.

Maybe Kikuo Matsuda? http://www.japaneseknifedirect.com/KikuoMatsudaKnife.html

They are from a Russian online shop (www.vg10.ru) who are selling mostly japanese made knives.

These are customs or limited editions.
Not a lot of info is given

I wish I could help you a little more Neo. I'm not familiar with them, and I've never heard of DPS-32 steel. I can't find anything about the steel on Google.

Before I would spend between $ 400 and $ 1600 (USD equivalent), I'd dig a little further.

Good Luck!

I think I couldn't buy from them anyway, don't think they would sell international.
But I'm curious about the knives

The two first have something of the style of Nemoto, but I really don't think they are his.
