Traded Konosuke 240mm MB gyuto

[NO ChoP!]

Catch and release. Just isn't my flavor.
Collab with Hinoura. Has that Hinoura nashiji/ kurouchi vibe. Matched toasted handle and killer saya.

It is a user. Don't think the finish is original. Still good overall shape. Handle is a bit wonky to me with oversized tang slot, and a scratch. I contemplated replacing it, but I feel it would ruin what this knife is supposed to be, so I will just move it along.

$365 shipped conus.

Would consider trades. Trade value a bit higher. Prefer 240+ in gyutos.

Always thought these were such beautiful blades, and so neat looking with the matching saya. I've totally blown my knife budget, and just bought a new bike on top of that. I'll kick myself for not picking this up.

Is this wide bevel?

 

[NO ChoP!]

I would say no. The blade road under the kurouchi has convexity. It is slightly distinguished but no definitive shinogi.

The Saya is so beautiful.
