The Konosuke HD2 Kiritsuke 240mm is a high-performance Japanese chef knife featuring a distinctive kiritsuke-style tip and one of the most refined grinds in its class. Designed for precision food preparation, this kiritsuke chef knife combines the length and versatility of a gyuto with a more angular, aggressive tip for detailed slicing and fine work. The ultra-thin, lightweight grind glides effortlessly through vegetables, proteins, and herbs while offering exceptional control and feedback.
The blade is crafted from the proprietary HD2 monosteel from Konosuke, prized for its fine grain structure, excellent edge retention, and easy sharpening response. The subtle convex geometry enhances cutting performance and food release while maintaining a true laser-like feel. This is a very thin, high-performance Japanese kitchen knife, so avoid twisting during cuts or cutting bones or frozen foods to prevent edge damage. The ebony octagonal handle is intentionally installed with a slight machi gap for traditional aesthetics and balance.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry thoroughly after use. Do not place in the dishwasher. Avoid cutting frozen foods, bones, or very hard materials. Store in a saya, blade guard, block, or on a magnetic strip to protect the edge.
