Undoubtedly, one of the most popular and talked about knives in the CKTG store is the Konosuke HD Gyuto. It is the laser by which most other lasers have been judged. It not only boasts the usual exemplary fit and finish common to all Konosuke high-end knives, but the beauty is more than skin deep.
The ultra-thin grind is pretty much unlike any other we know. This knife falls through produce. It is light yet stiff and responsive. The term razor sharp is given true meaning with the out-of-the-box edge. It is a knife that is all about subtleties and simplicity. The subtly convex blade is a thing of simple beauty. Slice into a soft tomato or other produce, and be prepared to be amazed. Elegance in design and function.
Made from HD semi-stainless steel, the Konosuke HD2 Gyuto is easier to care for than other equivalents made from high-carbon steel. It will patina over time, or you can keep it polished!
This knife is given extra value because it features a Khii Laurel handle. This is another example of Konosuke's devotion to quality. It is perfectly sized and weighted to balance the blade in feel, heft, and aesthetics. This is a great knife made greater with the addition of the beautiful handle.Maker: Konosuke

Everything in the description is accurate - this knife is a beast. Flies through produce, the 240mm is perfect as the blade is lighter than you think it will be. Razor sharp out of the box. Pretty patina resistant, but will still take one if you let it. Great food release due to the fantastic grind. It is perfectly balanced with a proper pinch grip. Can't recommend it enough. It is a little pricey, but absolutely worth it. I'm a knife addict and I haven't purchased another since I got this about 2 years ago.

This knife is gorgeous. It feels great and has decent food release. It stained very quickly after some vegetable prep but it isn't unattractive and could easily be removed. It does not have a very big flat area so I wouldn't recommend it for pure push cutting, but if you're up for adding a bit of a rock and a glide to your cutting action, you're in for a good time.
