Withdrawn Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide 240 Gyuto (White #2)

[ob-gym]

I felt nostalgic for the old wide-bevel Konosuke Fujiyama - excellent F&F, heat treat, and ultra thin behind the edge. A friend suggested I try this knife, from one of the premier knife houses in Osaka. This is their top of the line "Gokujo" hand-forged White #2 wa-gyuto.

Wow ... this is my type of knife ... perfect entry into high end Japanese knives and seeing the grind this will compete with the best of knives out there.
I have too many now, but i hope somebody pics this up and enjoys. Let us know when your open to trades.
