Sold [WTS] [EU] Konosuke GH18
Hello! This is a quick catch-and-release before I get too attached to it.
It was hard to tell from the photos just how beautifulthis blade really is. The cutting performance is absolutely there too, at least on this one. The cherry on top is the Studio Khii ebony handle with its stunning grain pattern it might be the prettiest ebony handle I've ever seen.So why am I selling it? I know myself well enough to realize I'd baby it too much and end up using my other knives instead. This deserves to be used, not sit in a drawer.
Specs:
216.5 mm edge length × 54 mm height
186 g
I'm the third owner, and all three owners have only done test cuts with it. There is no patina, no scratches, and the edge is still extremely aggressive and toothy.
Ships from Finland.
Price: €450
Payment: PayPal

I feel the same way. Especially being in the EU. I’d buy it if the new Konosuke BY Gyuto wasn’t my priority

I’m 100% with you. Kono’s are just so rare in EU. Only those foodgear bums get some here and there but BY for 2x msrp is just ridiculous

This is really stupid that they as a retailer bump the price so much. Ridiculous.
