Bestsellers Konosuke HD2 Gyuto 210mm

First Impressions

These knives are well known for their performance, they are light, thin and boast a spectacular edge.

Beauty

Sleek and stylish they will suit perfectly if you’re not a fan of intricately designed knives, they have an octagonal ho wood (with a buffalo ferrule) or a single piece laurelwa handle which can be used in either hand.

In Hand

As is usual with Konosuke, the fit and finish is always top notch and the knives sit very comfortable in the hand.

Please note that from start 2022, the handle version available is only the octagonal one-piecelaurel wood from Studio Khii.

Durability

The steel is a mono steel that is semi-stainless so there is a chance it will patina slightly but nothing like a pure carbon blue steel for example.

They are laser like knives that are incredibly thin so are best suited to softer veg and meat/fish where the knife can show off its incredible sharpness.

Ease of Care

Being semi-stainless they should be kept dry between use, don’t put in a dishwasher and everything should be fine!

We’d recommend pairing your knifea Konosuke saya to keep it safe if you’re not storing it on a magnetic rack or block.

Our Verdict

Absolutely top class laser knives with an excellent level of fit, finish and balance.

We’re massive fans of all Konosuke knives and the HD2 is a superb choice for anyone seeking all-round quality and cutting performance.
