When Konosuke first released the HD line, batches would sell out within minutes of going online, and the 150mm petty remains one of the most requested sizes in the lineup. Konosuke has built its reputation over more than 80 years working out of Sakai City, earning a following among serious knife collectors for consistent quality and performance.
The core is HD2 semi stainless steel, heat treated to about 61 HRC for an edge that sharpens easily and holds up well even after a long work session. At 150mm, the petty fills much the same role as a western paring or utility knife, well suited to garnish work and other small, detailed tasks, with a light, nimble feel in hand thanks to the thin grind. The handle is an octagonal ho wood with a buffalo horn ferrule.
What Customers Are Saying:The one reviewer on this listing calls it the best petty knife they have used, praising the light flex that comes from how thin the blade is ground.
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.
