This Konjo II knife came from a collection. There are some light marks on the bolster, but otherwise it is in great condition. Includes the original box.
Konjo is a Japanese term that, in the American vernacular, would roughly translate as "Guts". It suggests courage under adversity, intestinal fortitude, and a dogged tenacity in the face of physical hardship, pain or even danger.
The Cold Steel Konjo II was inspired by custom knife maker Bud Nealy’s work in the late 1980’s. This knife has a "long sword point" VG-1 San Mai III® steel blade with an attractive mirror polish. The Konjo has a taperered tang with highly polished nickel silver bolsters designed to emulate the Habaki (blade collar) on a Japanese sword. The handle has
highly polished black linen micarta. These have been hand fitted and permanently attached to the tang by epoxy and custom "star" bolts. Includes a sturdy, rich looking sheath that includes a distinctive, decorative inlay of black same (ray skin).
