Here's something you don't see everyday.

Konosuke Tetsujin 200 Kiritsuke Gyuto in Aogami #2 w Khii burnt walnut handle.

Reportedly 1 of 2 made. A very early Tetsujin with the early Tetsujin kokuin on the left face and the Konosuke kanji chiseled on the right face. It was an early prototype showing what Tetsujin would have looked like as a line in the Konosuke catalog - before Tetsujin became its own brand.

Interestingly - the knife was finish polished after the Konosuke kanji was chiseled into the blade as there are no ridges on the chisel kanji marks.

Hey TCKBST!

Here's a rare one up for trade/sale - a Konosuke Stamped FM B2 #6 Chinese Cleaver - Chuka Bocho

It's a beast at 533 grams - more specs in pics. It has Myojin's stamp.

Selling because I don't need two. Looking to trade or recoup my initial investment

It's not easy to get a choil shot on a beast like this. The pic gives the appearance that the blade is curved, but that's a result of shooting in ultra wide angle and not having the blade perfectly centered. But it is dead straight.

I will consider interesting trades first. Looking for TnH or other Konosukes.
