Handle & Included Saya
£200.00

This superbly finished petty will handle all your small jobs with precision and speed. It is razor sharp and is brilliant for all those in-hand jobs or fiddly prep jobs in the kitchen.

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.

Note: This knife is sold with either a Konosuke magnolia wooden saya or handmade friction fit leather saya designed specifically for this knife and is included in the price Depending on your handle selection, the weight of the knife varies a little. The laurel handle knife is 64g while the ho wood is 50g.

About this range

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 laurel wa 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 and the handles made by Studio Khii are every bit as well finished as the blades.

Because the blades in the HD2 line are so thin and light, it's a lovely touch to note that the handles are slightly longer than standard size to provide a better balance point in all the knives in the range.

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!

For longer term care and maintenance we'd recommend a carbon steel care kit for the HD2 knives.

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.
