SOLD Nakagawa x Myojin Dammy 240 Konosuke??

[Bico Doce]

Hey KKF,

Here is my budget friendly and readily available take on the Konosuke “FM” dammy 240 gyuto. Blade is nakagawa x myojin blue 1, handle is Konosuke purchased from Tosho. I removed the original finish and hand sanded the blade giving it a more subtle kasumi. Why did I do all this? I’m dumb and I was bored.

Balance is aggressively forward due to the light handle. Although it may not be Tanakas blue 1, nakagawa’s feels great on stones and takes a killer edge.

Asking $480 shipped conus

I have a k-tip version of this and love it. Honestly, the near mirror polish finishes on any knife drive me crazy because I don't want worry about maintaining them, so this feels like an upgrade to me. GLWS

Major upgrade with the kasumi and handle. I was personally never tempted to get one of these even during the height of Homebutcher’s holiday sales because the damascus seemed a bit garish to me. The Konosukefication of this knife leaves the patterning so gorgeously subtle, and the handle pairs beautifully with it.

Much appreciated! I grabbed one from the HomeButcher without the handle and I completely agree on that original finish - it had to go
