Among the handle options for this 120mm petty, the upgraded ebony version stands out with a deep, rich color that contrasts nicely against the bright HD2 blade. The mahogany ferrule adds a warm accent where the handle meets the bolster.
The core is HD2 semi stainless steel, heat treated by Konosuke to about 61 HRC, giving the edge an easy sharpening experience along with strong edge retention even after a long work session. Konosuke has built its reputation over more than 80 years in Sakai City, and the HD line remains one of the most popular single lines at CKTG, historically selling out within minutes of going online. Petty knives like this one, ranging from about 75mm up to 210mm, fill much the same role as a western paring or utility knife, well suited to garnish work and other small, detailed tasks.
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 sharpen on quality water stones when the edge needs attention.
