Alongside the ebony and laurel handled versions of this 270mm sujihiki, Konosuke also offers this one with a ho wood handle and a buffalo horn ferrule, a simpler, more traditional pairing for cooks who do not need the upgraded handle materials. The blade itself is identical in performance to its more dressed up siblings.
The core is HD2, a semi stainless mono steel heat treated to about 61 HRC, ground with the same insanely thin geometry behind the edge that has made this series one of the most talked about lasers on the market. The spine runs thin throughout, and the steel takes and holds a genuinely acute sharpening angle well.
What Customers Are Saying:The one reviewer on this listing simply calls it the best knife they have ever used, describing the experience as truly spectacular and well worth the price.
Care Instructions:HD2 is a semi stainless steel, easier to care for than a fully reactive carbon steel but not entirely rust proof, so hand wash and dry the blade after use rather than running it through a dishwasher. It will develop a light patina over time, or you can keep it polished if you prefer a brighter look. Avoid cutting through bones or frozen foods, and given the length of this blade, store it where it will not knock against other tools in a drawer.
