New Old Stock Konosuke Sakai 300mm Yanagi Aogami 1 Ebony Horn 2013-15

Sakai Konosuke 300mm Yanagi Aogami 1 Ebony Horn with original box and saya

These are old stock from a collection purchased at Bernal Cutlery between 2013 and 2017 this one has a paper slip with the Konosuke logo and opposite Bernal Cutlery logo with 593 Guerrero address, we were there from 2013 to 2019. 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 Tanaka Hamono and ground by 'Morihiro', Hiromi Morimoto in both in Sakai. Originally with an ebony handle, it was removed for re-handle by the last owner but the knife never used. We recently handled it with an older Sakai made (hand cut not CNC) octagonal ebony wood and horn handle that we have been hoarding at Bernal Cutlery, it is very similar to what would have originally been on the knife.
