Konjo I

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. This is an admirable quality in anyone, and it makes an admirable name for these new Japanese styled knives. Inspired by custom knife maker, Bud Nealy’s work in the late 1980’s, The Konjo I features a reinforced Tanto point style (first popularized by Cold Steel®) precision ground out of VG-1 San Mai III® steel and vacuum heat-treated and sub zero quenched for maximum strength, toughness, and edge retention. It is ground to a thin edge before being honed to razor sharpness, and it has an attractive mirror polish and come with a ridge shaped Muné (spine of the blade) and double fullers.

Here are some additional features:

Perforated Tapered Tang: This feature, though costly, dramatically improves the knife’s balance and reduces its overall weight without sacrificing strength where it’s most needed.

Bolster: Bolsters serve to strengthen the handle and prevent it from cracking or splitting under stress. The Konjo is equipped with highly polished nickel silver bolsters designed to emulate the Habaki (blade collar) on a Japanese sword.


Handle: The grip scales are made of highly polished black linen micarta. They have been hand fitted and permanently attached to the tang by epoxy and custom “star” bolts.


Sheath: The Konjo™ comes complete with a sturdy, rich looking sheath that includes a distinctive, decorative inlay of black samé (ray skin).
