Konosuke Sakai Knives

Here is another example of excellent handmade japanese knives.  I have ordered them directly at Konosuke Sakai.  The order process was straight forward and Kosuke-san is a very nice person to deal with. He answered all questions very fast and gave really great advice, which was very much appreciated. The knives are again for lefthanded.  The knives are forged using White Steel #2 (Mt. Fuji). The front side of the Sakimura Takohiki is mirror polished.
