I have a marko 52100 practice honesuki. I'm banned from using it at work :sad0:, so you may be able to persuade me into letting it go. Send me a message if you're interested.

Zensho/Yoshikane V2 Wa-Honesuki 165 mm?

The backside of this knife appears to have hamon? Did not expect to see differential tempering at this price point.

Hmmm could be? I'm thinking now that it's likely a misplaced picture entirely as there is no KU!

Most KU single bevels I've seen are polished on the ura since it has to be ground there anyway. The other side probably has scale on the table of the knife.

Thanks Huw!!! Looks killer! Now i gotta sell some knives

I have a Masakage 155mm Honesuki if you're interested. It's double-beveled and it's Aogami Super clad with stainless.
I've got a magnolia handle with a ruby pakka bolster on it.



I'm only selling it because I've started bladesmithing and I'm going to forge my own honesuki soon: They're the perfect size knife for a beginner to learn on! :biggrin:

PM sent.

What about the Watanabe: http://watanabeblade.com/english/pro/index.htm

It's a little less but has the Ho instead of Chestnut handle.
