Hi,
title says it all, I really love knives with dark ebony handles and blond ferrules, but I don't see a lot of those knives here. I am quite a new member from Europe (sorry for my bad English) and I think, that knives with that specifications are more often to find there and there is an increased demand for those knives in Europe.
Or am I totally wrong and knives with those handles are sought-after here as well but simply very rare? Cause if you think of Konosuke or Ashi knives - you won't get them anymore with that kind of handles and I've heard, that there is a huge shortage in blond buffalo horn in Japan (there is also a thread here, where guys try to find alternative sources for blond horn).
So what are your thoughts on that?
Thanks.
Mack.
