Konosuke knives have earned the nickname lasers for how thin they cut, and this 270mm sujihiki with a laurel handle is a strong example of that reputation. The handle offers a lighter colored alternative to the ebony version of the same knife also available at CKTG.
The blade is a mono steel construction using HD2 semi stainless steel, heat treated to about 61 HRC. The geometry is built for high performance, with a thin spine and an edge that runs insanely thin just behind the bevel, letting the steel hold a genuinely acute sharpening angle. The octagonal laurel handle finishes the knife off with the same fit and finish found throughout the Konosuke catalog.
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.
