Konosuke HD2 Gyuto 225mm
In stock – Ready for dispatch (3)
A mid-sized gyuto with a laser profile and ideal for a wide range of jobs as your daily driver.
The iconic HD2 knives by Konosuke are well known for being laser thin and razor sharp. HD2 is a mono steel and for those familiar with the GS+ (a 3 layer steel) the comparison between the two is that these are a little less stainless the the GS+ but will hold an edge for longer, this is due to having more chromium in the steel.
This knife is sold with either a Konosuke wooden magnolia or handmade friction fit leather saya designed to fit it included in the price.

Our aim is to measure and photograph our products as accurately as possible but due to many items being handmade, finished or using natural materials, there can be minor variance in measurements and things such as blade or wood finishes can vary. We will always endeavour to provide the most accurate measurements, photos and descriptions of our products.
Some measurements such as HRC are provided by manufacturers and should therefore be used as a guide.
