Just out of curiosity, what's the maximum amount of money would you pay for a Konosuke HD2 240mm gyuto?
$2 + shipping but only if it's in top condition
How the HD2 compare to Gin 3 steel, there a store for sale Gin 3 240mm Kono under 300$.
Do we have to beat down on the OPs choice? Perfectly good knife with many good characteristics. Aim for $240, any lower and he'll go get his asking price on the other forum.

I don't know about the HD2, semi stainless...?
Had I been you, I would had preferred carbon or stainless.
Semi stainless, I imagine, it lacks both characteristics of both carbon and stainless.
I imagine, that while it is supposed to have the best of both worlds,
It is the opposite, it has none.
But then again, that's how I imagine it.
G3 is a very fine stainless, but at 300$, you can find better deals concerning G3.
And just from the photos, Konosukes seem to have the tip, higher than other knives.
If this applies, is a feature I don't like a lot, but such things are personal
I kind of late in the knife collection like most of ppl in forum. I had some inerest with Konosuke knife but for the price i can get some better brand line of knife like Sukenari, etc. I only had G3 steel but single bevel knife and very good knife i had. The gyuto i had right now Suisin Inox Hoyaki 270mm feel little big for my hand, i might get another 240mm to replace the Masahiro mv knife i had.
Hello, i just want to see if this knife have good review to buy in future, if you have more information feel free to share that all.If you have never tried Kono, why do make the comparison with other knives?
About 300-350$ if it's new and has a ebony Wa-handle.
Because for more than that I could get a Suisin IH, which I prefer
Anything more is just hype...
That's why we ask for those with experience, to compare it with some carbons and some stainless, so we can understand where it stands.
Without personal experience, at first thought I would had avoided a semi stainless, HD, A Type, the chrysanthemum brand(can't remember the name).
Now, I read good comments from users, and start to find it interesting.
The more info, the best for the curious knife lovers
Maybe try to pick up one on the bst to see what fuss is.... but then I don't see too many wa ones up.... maybe for reason
I was going to say there was a yo 210 up but that seems to have been retracted.. oh well
Good luck
Maybe not so many available because most users here are more interested in other brands? Knives available often reflect the current purchasing trends to some extent...
