New Old Stock Konosuke Sakai Fujiyama 270mm Sakimaru-Takohiki Ginsanko Octagonal Ho/Horn Handle with Saya 2011-13

Old stock Sakai Konosuke Fujiyama series ginsanko stainless steel 270mm sakimaru takobiki with newly applied octagonal ho and horn handle, with original box and saya. 

These are old stock from a collection purchased at Bernal Cutlery between 2013 and 2017, this one made between 2011 to 2013. this one has a paper slip with the Konosuke logo and opposite Bernal Cutlery logo with 331 Cortland address, we were there from 2010 to 2013.

Blades are in unused condition with original box and saya and are a throwback to older production. It Should be noted that the original handles were removed, an appropriate old stock Sakai made one has been fitted to the blade.

This knife was forged by Yamatsuka Hamono and ground by 'Morihiro', Hiromi Morimoto in both in Sakai. Originally with a similar octagonal ho handle, it was removed for re-handle by the last owner but the blade never used. We recently handled it with an older Sakai made (hand cut not CNC) octagonal ho wood and horn handle that we have been hoarding at Bernal Cutlery.
