Konosuke has spent more than 80 years building a reputation in Sakai City for quality and performance among serious knife collectors, and the HD line in particular has been one of the best selling single lines at CKTG, known to sell out within minutes of going online. This 150mm petty comes with a Khii laurel handle, a lighter colored alternative to the ebony option also available at CKTG.
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. At 150mm, the petty offers a bit more reach than the 120mm size while staying just as nimble for 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.
