Hey,

I've decided to sell my GH. I thought I'd never sell it because the performance is that good, but it doesn't have a place in my heart because of the semi-stainless steel. I'm a sucker for carbon knives, and this is my last knife that isn't fully carbon + I need room for new purchases :)

216.5mm x 54mm with 186grams

Fit and finish is impeccable, handle Khii ebony handle with a nice pattern

Nice convex belly and super thin behind the edge

Knife has been only test cut with and it is in pristine BNIB condition. No signs of test cut, never sharpener, never stropped.

I am the first and only owner of this knife. Bought directly from Konosuke as a limited members edition. Would like to be fully transparent on this, paid 422eur for the knife and shipping than our lovely customs charged me with additional 183eur for importing duties, tax and procedure.

Comes with unopened leather saya.

Oh man, I'm finally starting to find the knives that really speak to me, and it's been quite a ride.

I recently picked up a Mazaki Hon San Mai Blue #2 in 250mm, and I have to say, this knife has completely exceeded my expectations.

It's a beast on paper: 247mm edge length, 55.7mm height, and 232g. Those numbers suggest a large, substantial knife, but that's not how it feels in use.

The length is absolutely spot on for me. Don't get me wrong, it's a long knife, but it's so maneuverable and controllable that it's almost laughable for a blade this size. Normally, you're very aware of a 230g knife in hand, but this one somehow disappears. It immediately feels like an extension of your arm, and when it's time to cut, oh it will effing cut!

The balance point sits roughly 2.5cm forward of the handle, around the kanji area. Whether intentional or not, the balance feels incredibly well thought out. The knife feels precise and responsive, and I always feel in complete control of the edge. As the handle would be chosen specifically to balance it perfectly.

Oh and about the handle, just look at the fitting around the tang, its immaculately filed to a perfect fit. A rare sight to see. The handle is also extra chunky, i never held a thicker handle in my hand. 

I would like to compare the filling to Toyama. Toyama is unbelievable cutter but its feels like a tool, it is front heavy and it gives you the filling of ripping thru the food, the Mazaki is maybe more subtle, more refined, more precise. I would say Toyama hides a bad technique much better than a Mazaki does. 

Then there's the grind.

Near the heel, there is subtle S-grind to it than it transitions into a very pronounced convex grind. Food release is excellent—honestly better than my Masashi Kurouchi, which is saying something.

What I find particularly interesting is how distinct the knife feels along its length. The heel is thick, powerful, and authoritative. The middle section feels surprisingly laser-like. Then there's the tip.

The tip is ridiculous.

The effing tip, its unbelievable, It's better than some higher-end Sakai tips I've used, no doubt about it. Its so precise i cannot wait to do garlic and shallot and let me tell you again its 247mm EL : )

Oh, and I almost forgot about the cladding. It's unbelievably beautiful in person. It has this mesmerizing, cloud-like appearance with milky patterns that seem to shift and change depending on the light. I'm also attaching a video because photos really don't do it justice.

Here is the video:

Vid 2

Hopefully I never have to make the choice, but if I could only keep one knife from my collection, this might be it.

It just does everything.

Doing my best with pictures, just bare with me :)

Hey,

this is my first NKD, and I wanted to pick something special - not one of the hyped-up knives we’ve all seen numerous times.

I went with: Kaneshige Hamono Yamato Oboro Shirogami #2 gyuto 225mm.

I bought it from a user on Reddit. The ad stayed up for a few days, and when I first saw it, I really thought it resembled the Kono BY a lot.

Then I started digging into this bad boy, I learned it’s actually from Kaneshige, the sister company of Konosuke, which triggered my appetite even more. I wanted it badly. It was about one-third of the price that BYs normally go for these days. I was really, really looking forward to this knife, and then it got lost somewhere in Lithuania for about two weeks. Then, suddenly, it appeared on my doorstep.

From the first moment I picked it up in my hand, I knew this knife was going to be special. I polished it with some jnat powder to make it feel a bit "more new to me", and I went straight into business. Its unbelievably reactive, coming close to anything already leave a patin :)

Knives like this can be big food magnets, but to my big surprise this one has one of the best convex grinds I’ve experienced so far. Super-convex throughout the entire length of the blade. BTE is unbelievably thin, proper laser territory. Amazing.

Fit and finish is super high, definitely a Konosuke tier.

215mm x 52mm and 161grams

An absolute sleeper of a knife, a hard one to come by, but grab one if you will have an opportunity!!

Oh I know i know photos suck.

Hey, i would like to give back to the community and ive decided to give away my used knife magnet.

The hold is not the strongest, but was doing its job for 10 years and i have recently ordered a new one. It will hold anything up to 220ish grams and ive even hung on 300mm suji. Oiled heavier blades will eventually start to slip.

It has 5 knife spots, to me unknown wood dressed in leather.

Magnet is in great shape overall.

35cm x 4.7cm x 2cm

Has cling holes at the back to attached it with screws or you can always double side tape it.

Im giving it away for free, you are only covering the shipping (20ish eur in EU).

I will choose the recipient, not based on first come, first served.
