Funny you ask as I was going to post something.
First off, I'm absolutely sold on hori horis as a tool.
As for the Japeto one, I haven't used my mum's Niwaki but I would say that for prolonged use without gloves the Japeto has hotspots due to the handle design. With gloves it's absolutely fine. I like that it's stainless as I'm not diligent about cleaning. Overall it does look nicer as a gift, but I'll let someone else chime in on the Niwaki.
From pics the Barebones hori hori handle looks the best. It's just a shame how expensive it is with a sheath...and the fucking stupid edc/kickstarter-esque bottle opener.
