SOLD Yoshikane - Konosuke YS 215 with Jobone Gidgee handle

[drsmp]

I recently got a 210 Yoshikane Black Damascus so I’m selling my almost identical YS. This blade is super thin at the edge and a great cutter. Used it to prep a few meals some very light patina on the core as seen in the picture on the knife stand. Includes the Konosuke saya (which I stained black cherry) and box. 215 at the edge and 45 at the heel. The handle is heart shaped - half octagonal , half oval and very comfortable. These are $360 at CKTG , selling for $350 includes US postage.

I do not know which semi stainless steel is used in this knife; but it is easy to sharpen and gets "wicked" sharp. Because of the geometry it is a bit of a laser. The biggest drawback is the small handle (though fine with me) and he has fixed that. Great deal GLWS.

One of the very very few stainless/semi stainless knives on my radar. Such a sweet knife and that handle is really nice with it.

Did you compare the Dami and YS against each other? How similar are they?
I have a Dami 240 and thought about getting a YSM 210.

The YS is a little thinner - the edge definitely has nail flex. Maybe slightly more sticky with potatoes - otherwise the same. If you like your Damy you’ll like the YS
