The Konosuke BY series is a hamaguri ground, kasumi finish forged at Tanaka Hamono and ground and finish sharpened at Konosuke’s Sakai workshop (the first of this kind of work from Konosuke). The BY series will not replace the Fujiyama FM but rather strives to live up to the high standard of the Fujiyama series. We think they have done an excellent job and are proud to stock Konosuke’s own work here which we feel instantly joins the top shelf of Sakai’s offerings.
The mild steel cladding behind the exposed hagane core is given a hazy kasumi finish on the flat face behind the edge riffing off of the original wide beveled Fujiyama. The mild steel cladding behind the exposed hagane core is given a hazy kasumi polish.
Aogami 1 forged at Tanaka Hamono operated by dentoukougeishi master smith Yoshikazu Tanaka whose treatment of aogami is very highly regarded, he manages to incorporate both toughness, ease of sharpening with excellent edge formation with long edge life. Tanaka-san’s top level forging and heat treatments make for an unusual ease of sharpening and superb edge life and toughness. From our experience this treatement of Aogami 1 has some of the best edge formation working well at higher finishes than average including with natural stone finishes.
Konosuke, a Sakai-based company, works with top skilled blacksmiths from all over Japan. Konosuke’s knives spare no attention to detail, from the heat treatment and grind to the packaging. Their focus is on their hometown of Sakai City, where the Kawamura family has operated for many generations.
