[@chefchris2005]

A yes Konosuke always makes a beautiful blade indeed. I absolutely love their knives. Gorgeous piece

[@KitchenKnifeGuy]

Thanks Chris. Really stoked with the d-shaped burnt chestnut handle.

[@jeffhicks8428]

Awesome knife Franco. You have fine taste.

[@KitchenKnifeGuy]

Thank you Jeff. Much appreciated. I need to put an edge on it but I love the size especially and the look of that burnt chestnut handle drives me crazy.

[@davidtatro7457]

Wow, that is incredible! Just the spine geometry alone is worth about 10 times most similar blades. Now, put an edge on it!

[@KitchenKnifeGuy]

Agree on everything you said. Out of box edge was alright but I know I can make this baby sing.

@@KitchenKnifeGuy Do eet! 🥰🥰

[@KitchenKnifeGuy]

@davidtatro7457 oh I will. I already know what I want to do to it too. Ikkyu Shin NAGURA 1K then Tsushima black.

[@protopigeon]

Yep that's sharp

[@johnniemiec3286]

That handle works really well with the kurouchi finish. Also really dig the unique length at 160mm. And SLD at 65HRC?!? Only have to sharpen that bad boy once a year. Very nice knife Franki.

Thanks man. Yeah I’m a super huge fan of the d-shaped burnt chestnut. So classic and didn’t own one yet. I too thought it was quite unique at 160mm. In Japan didn’t notice as I was too excited. Used it at home and thought this feels longer than 150. Measured and boom 160mm.

The smith for this line is Takahiro Nihei out of Fukushima.
