The HD 220 mm gyuto is one of our most popular knives and an outstanding value in the Konosuke lineup. The actual edge length measures 220 mm, giving you a little more blade for your money while keeping the balance and agility that make this size so versatile in home kitchens. Light, precise, and easy to control, it handles slicing, push cutting, and chopping tasks with smooth efficiency even when board space is limited.
The proprietary HD semi stainless steel is heat treated to approximately 61 HRC, delivering excellent edge retention with easy sharpening and lower maintenance than traditional carbon steels. The grind is thin behind the edge for clean, low resistance cutting, while the 2.5 mm spine at the base provides stability and confidence. This version is fitted with a traditional magnolia wood handle and genuine water buffalo horn ferrule, offering classic Japanese aesthetics, comfort in hand, and exceptional value. As with any thin, hard Japanese knife, avoid twisting, prying, or cutting bones or frozen foods to prevent chipping.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry immediately after use. Do not place in dishwasher. Use wood or soft plastic cutting boards only. Store in a blade guard or sheath. Because the actual edge length is 220 mm, this knife is too long for standard 210 mm gyuto sayas. Please choose the leather sheath or an 8 inch blade guard instead.

I waited almost a year to get one of these and one day some came in and i was lucky to get one. Seems they were gone in 20 minutes or less. When it arrived in a few days (great fast service as usual) my first impression was; This is a sexy knife! The fit and finish was perfect and the blade had a luster to it unlike my other acquisitions. No its not as tall as a gyuto but its so light just glides through produce. Im very happy with this knife!

I've owned this knife for years. It reminds me of a large Sab utility: it isn't quite a gyuto, but it isn't a petty either. It is unlike any knife I've owned, really, since it is smaller than a typical 210 gyuto in every way, but somehow feels more versatile and more robust than a 6" knife (gyuto or petty). What really shines about this knife is its exceptional, laser-like performance and extremely thin tip combined with a firm feeling steel and excellent feedback in the blade. It is also sharpens very easily and has a nice balance despite being light as a feather. Really wonderful through smaller, softer ingredients like melons and tomatoes and cucumbers, where its agility makes tasks like peeling or slicing off the board a breeze, while its grind makes slicing a chopping effortless.

Excellent knife. The wife with her tiny hands even has no trouble with this one. Razor sharp out of the box, and has held the edge very nicely so far. I would highly recommend this knife to anyone.

Thanks for all the help guys. After months of research, I pushed the button. I called just to ask a few questions and Mark was great. Ordered on Friday, came in on Monday (that was free shipping too). I didn't know that I was ordering a 210mm razor blade. There is no need to further describe how sharp this knife is and how well it cuts. If you have one, you know. If you don't..., push the button. For anyone trying with this in your choice list, buy it. I dropped a tomato on it from about a foot up...warm butter. I am push cutting without even thinking about it, never would have even tried that before. I felt so bad about it's blade hitting my regular wooden cutting board, I ordered a 20x15x3.5 inch end grain board. A beautiful knife like this should never touch anything else.Now.... wa petty anyone? :D
