WTB Kono *MM* or FM

[mockit]

Hi there,

An MM surfaced recently, and it just barely slipped through my hands (twice) lol! Going to post up a WTB and see what pops out.

Hoping to snag a Kono MM. Open to all sizes 210-270. Also interested in a blue FM or OG Fuji, but the odds of one of those popping out at a palatable price are low.

Reasons for wanting this knife:
-I love the fact that they are made by a lady smith, Ms. Mori
-Rave reviews and solid comparisons to FMs
-Consistent Myojin grind - examples I have seen seem to be in a good sweet spot for a laser grind without being wispy
-Konosuke F&F and FM like performance without the FM craziness

Happy to pay to play if it is reasonable - especially if low mileage. DM me and we can talk if you are interested in letting one go.

Thanks KKF!

These are the words I can’t put together myself. There’s some decent weight behind that edge.

Glwp!

Have to agree. Mine is more of workpony or laserhorse. It's a great, great performer, improbably good, but it doesn't feel laser-y to me, where the FM does. The steel is plenty hard but feels more forgiving than FM, too.

Happy Friyay bump. Some hits on an FM but still tracking down the golden goose MM.
