SOLD Konosuke Fujiyama 240 gyuto Blue #2

[friz]

Hi.

I am selling a Konosuke Fujiyama gyuto 240mm Blue#2.
The handle is marble horn, mammoth and ebony.
It comes with saya with pin glued on it over the Konosuke logo.
- The knife has been used extensively but I always treated it very nicely.
- I have sharpened it several times but never thinned.
- The handle seem not to be planed/levelled, so when looking at the choil the blade seems bent but it is the handle.
- It shows few scratches from me using the stone powder and pad to remove patina.


The price is 1100USD plus shipping from Australia.

dimensions?

dimensions?

192gr
230/231mm tip to bottom of the heel
50/51mm heel height
2.5/3mm thick, however the way this wide bevel is constructed I assume the widest point is where the shinogi starts.

Classy handle. I assume it pulls the balance point back towards the choil. Where does it currently land?

 

[FishmanDE]

Sorry, confirming that’s 1100usd and not 1100aud?

I think this is the first one of that last batch of Morhiro sharpened Fujis that I've seen in the wild.

Thank you.

I am aware it is an expensive buy.

There was a time when this would have been gone minutes after it was posted. GLWS.

Piece of Konosuke history and lore at this point. It’s a rad knife. I have no doubt a Kono fan boy will pay up. Not sure if I find it that different than the prices people are paying for Katos now days . If you want to know more search for the Konosuke history thread. It’s a great read. GLWS

I've had to clean this thread up. If you wanna post in a BST thread, please read the BST rules first.

Wish this had the Konosuke stamp on it. I'm a sucker for that stamp. *SHRUG*

Is this price in USD American dollars ?? Or Australian money ?

 

[Cliffkol]

Please verify -- is this US$1100? or AUD 1100? Kind of high for US$
Or is it sold??

 

[Jville]

He clarified earlier in the thread it is USD.

I believe USD =US Dollars, and AUD = Australian Dollars? Looks like his original post states USD. Not sure what the confusion is, perhaps it's just me that's confused.

 

[Cliffkol]

Nah, Just wanted to confirm he meant USD. Onward and Upward!

Trying not to derail this thread again but there's been a lot of confusion so my 2 cents...

From how I see it:

> People were confused why a “standard” looking (i.e. not Togo, Dammy, but simple iron clad) Kono gyuto was asking for this much.

> See that OP is from Australia and asking USD which somewhat adds to the confusion (see point above).

For those who are unaware, IIRC this is a Morihiro sharpened Kono Blue #2 and not a Myojin sharpened Kono Blue #2. Morihiro was the original sharpener for Konosuke until he moved on to other pastures a few years back.

You are correct. No reason n to be confused.

These date back to 2019 and here is link from IG describing them. This is a rare beast and if you're a Konosukaphile is not bad value vs say what Kato's go for these days. Bonus points for losing that awful wood ferrule handle.

Nice job “bearhippo”

Its pretty simple
