What a fantastic read on the history - I had no idea it was this complex. It was listed as a konosuke fujiyama blue #1 with khii ebony handle (240mm) on tosho's website from which I ordered directly but from the info above, it's most likely an FM. It was purchased in December of 2018. As for...

I rotate between two main gytos: a Marko Tsourkan and a Konosuke Fujiyama blue #1. Both are fantastic and create fear amongst the vegetables. I purchased them a few years ago but I don't really see konosuke fujis get mentioned much in comparison to some of the other top makers (yanick...

I'll take it :) Purchased on your website.

I'll take it if still available.

The one on the left just arrived.. :) kono fujiyama 240 blue and a marko in a2

Update. Knife still rocks and is growing on me. I just accidentally sliced through a mango, seed and all with very little effort. I'm really liking this workhorse grind, too. I have it paired with a kono 150mm petty (laser) and it's a perfect combo.

Overall impressions are really positive. It's an adjustment getting used to (its about twice the weight of my other two lasers) but it definitely gives it a bit more 'oomph' for push cuts and a bit more confidence on the board. It 'falls' through food rather than slices. A bit more resistance...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm fine with A2 - I'm doubt going to be able to tell much real life difference between A2 and 15200. A2 a bit more wear resistant, 15200 a slightly better sharpness, etc. Seems like both are great steels, semi-stainless A2 is probably easier for me anyways. Only...

Annnnnnd Marko has been purchased. 245mm A2 gyuto in a symmetrical grind in mango wood. Described as a 'workhorse' so we'll see how I like it compared to my kono. I wanted to try his S grind but this popped up on cktg so I ordered it. Cheers & thanks for the help everyone!

After some reading, further narrowed it down to two choices but can't decide. Gesshin gengetsu in semi stainless or a marko 52100.

I've been cooking more at my girlfriends place and her knives are awful so I need a second gyuto because I will be leaving my kono hd2 240mm gyuto there. Aka. I have a itch to spend some money on a new knife. No preference for stainless vs carbon (I wipe my blades down every time I use them)...

Edit: this kono is going to a new home. Cheers!

Looking for a mid level gyuto from any gyutos similar in quality to: Devin Thomas, Marko Tsourkan, Kono Fuji, etc. Currently trying to upgrade my kono hd2 - love it, just figured I'd try something new. Price range looking at $400-600. Ideally something in good/great shape, I'd like to be the one...

Just received a knife I bought; I couldn't be happier. Pictures definitely didn't give it justice because the knife is beautiful in person. Friendly bump!

let me know if anything falls through - back ups please!
