WTS WTS Konosuke Sanjo 240mm SKD Acid-etched, Kurouchi Gyuto

[NotThinEnough]

Hey all,

For sale only here, SKD Gyuto by Konosuke Sanjo (rumoured to be Yoshikane, and I'd believe it) used once for 15m dinner prep session. The finish is custom for Tosho Knife Arts. Lots of contrasts and textures.

The profile is too flat for my cutting technique, though I imagine many of push cutters/choppers will absolutely love this profile.

Handle is burnt chestnut with buffalo horn, half octagon shape.

Very thin behind the edge, and SKD-12 by Yoshikane is just great.

Heel height: 50mm
Edge length: 240mm
no saya, but comes in its orignal box

Price is $375 conus shipping included.


Stay safe!

Huh, that really is a looker! Do you have a weight for this one?

It is 159g, and the balance point is on the 2nd character of Konsuke signature.

Wow, is it alloyed with helium or something?

I avoided looking at this thread for a while to minimize temptation. I really like the way this knife looks, both geometry and aesthetically. If this were (as I always say) more in my size preference I would most likely be buying it

Seems about what I'd expect from a middleweight/laser of that blade length/height, with a burnt chestnut handle. Looks so great. Wish I had room on the knife rack...

My collection may be a little too biased towards heavy blades, then. Should probably fix that...
