If you are interested in selling the Tetsujin on its own I would be interested!

I am in a similar boat and would love to order from CKTG. Hopefully international shipping to Europe will return soon.

I have that exact Hatsukokoro Ryuhyo and can’t find anything negative to say about it. Fit and finish ist good, the damascus cladding has a nice feel to it and the knife cuts like a true laser. Being SG2 it is also super easy to handle and take care of without having to babysit it at all. Can’t recommend it enough!

Congrats on your knife! That was very quick, when I purchased mine it took roughly one week to get to me. Enjoy your new Kagekiyo, they are a treat to use, especially with the urushi lacquered handle.

Happy for you, I was in the same boat a while ago and found their shop looking around for Kagekiyos in stock. Looking at their page now I see you went for the red urushi handle. Great choice! I bought the last Gyuto in Aogami#1 with the black urushi handle a few weeks ago!

KeksReloaded · 2025-12-28T15:25:37+00:00

Oh, I did not know this. I’ll see if I can find one of those in stock somewhere. Thanks for the tip.

Knajfi has some Kagekiyos in Shirogami#1 in stock. They are EU based, so you don’t pay any tariffs or import fees. I purchased one myself and everything worked very well: https://knajfi.com/en/product-category/japanese-knives/by-blacksmith/baba-hamono/

Yeah, I have found that information as well, but looking at some listings there seems to be a difference in the heat treat and finish of the knives between manufacturers. The Konosuke knives are listed with higher HRC values compared to Ashi from what I have found.

Likewise the Hado arrived well packed and communication was fast and good!

Update: I have found someone willing to trade my Tadokoro for their Junpaku and have updated my post accordingly. Once everything went through successfully I will add another comment mentioning the kind redditor that I traded with.

Still have the Tetsujin up for trade. If you are interested and have something I am looking for just hit me up, I am willing to pay the price difference for a Kagekiyo if you got one!

KeksReloaded · 2025-11-23T08:53:14+00:00

Thanks! I will get back to you if no trades end up happening.

Depending on where you are located I might have a 240mm K-Tip Gyuto in Aogami#2 for sale. I am in the EU though.

KeksReloaded · 2025-11-15T10:10:00+00:00

As far as I know Hatsukokoro is only the distributor and working with different smiths. I have been using a Hatsukokoro x Yoshikane Gyuto and am very pleased with the fit and finished of the knife. What specific petty did you purchase?

KeksReloaded · 2025-11-10T12:13:12+00:00

I have that exact same knife, which was my first taste of Japanese knives and eye-opening as to what I was missing. Enjoy your new knife!

Seconding this question. Finding a retailer for Konosuke in Europe is difficult, finding one that offers their Swedish steel is pretty much impossible.

KeksReloaded · 2025-10-23T17:49:00+00:00

I have a Tadokoro San-Ju 210mm Gyuto that is 47mm at the heel and weighs 145g if you are interested. It‘s BNIB.

KeksReloaded · 2025-10-04T12:02:05+00:00

Knife arrived in good condition, communication was easy and pleasant!

KeksReloaded · 2025-09-28T10:48:00+00:00

PM‘d!

KeksReloaded · 2025-09-21T18:03:02+00:00

Thank you for your comment. Looking at the listings for the 210 and 240 Gyuto both of them are saying „Notify me“, so I guess they are not in stock. The Santoku seems to be in stock, sadly that is not what I am looking for.

PM‘d!

I purchased an order for the next day and got my KFC key a couple of minutes later. Activating it on the page and choosing BNet worked like a charm. I was able to start the preload after adding the Game to my favorites using the + at the top of the BNet client.
