SOLD - Konosuke HH 240mm Kiritsuke Wa Gyuto

[shiupo]

Hello all, I have Konosuke HH 240mm Kiritsuke Wa Gyuto for sale. I bought it in 2012 from Mark and this is my first kono. I was very impressed with its F&F but never got used to the profile. I only used it several times and never sharpened it. It has since been stored in my closet.

This series is no longer available. If I remember correctly, HH stands for high hardness (HRC~61) and the same team makes them as Konosuke HD but with Swedish stainless steel. It comes with a matching saya and ebony handle with blonde horn ferrule. I'm going to ask for $380 including paypal fees and shipping in CONUS. Some measurements:

Height at heel: 47 mm
Blade length: 230 mm
Spine thickness at heel: 2.4 mm
Weight: 187 g

Thanks for looking and please let me know if there is any question.

Hello,

I am a sucker for kiritsuke tipped blades. I have not seen a kiritsuke Konosuke in a while.

Is it still for sale? I am definitely interested.

Merry Christmas.

I am the person shiupo sold the knife to. This was my first transaction on The Forum. I would like to comment on how it went.

First, communication was at the highest level. Clear and concise answers to questions were answered very quickly. shiupo is really a great guy. He shipped the Konosuke immediately after payment. It came carefully packed and in perfect condition along with its saya. I would not hesitate to buy something from shiupo again. The knife, as you probably already guessed, since it is a Konosuke, it is beautiful and a pleasure to the eye and the hand.

Thanks a lot for the kind words and I'm glad it finds a good home.
