Konosuke GS + wa-gyuto, 210 mm, Khii Laurel handle, SLD steel.
This is the improved version of the original GS series. The blade is double-sided and made from special Japanese SLD magic steel. The blade is extremely thin and manually sharpened and has no thickening which makes grinding very easy. The handle is octagonal and made from Japanese Laurel wood. The new GS + series distinguishes itself from the original GS series by a slightly higher Rockwell hardness, slightly higher blade, better finish. The knife is designed to cut fish, meat and vegetables and is the best-selling kitchen knife model.
These blades have so called "Machi" which is the small gap between the handle and the blade. This small Neck is seen on many knives from Sakai and is very traditional for certain regions. Traditionally when a knife has a Machi the length of the blade is measured from the Machi gap to the tip. The blade edge is always a bit shorter.
Blade length: 210 mm (198 mm excluding the Machi-gap)
Total length: 350 mm
Weight: 120 -160 grams
Steel type: Japanese SLD steel (stainless) with softer stainless steel on the outside and grey Nashiji (mist) finish.

Handle: Straight octagonal handle of very beautiful Japanese Khii Laurel wood.
This knife is supplied without a protective cover (saya)
Particulars: Konosuke knives are produced in very limited amounts. The blades are always produced in small batches. The polishing and grinding is done by various professionals who work exclusively for Konosuke. The level of finishing and grinding is incomparable. The Konosuke knives are among the best knives in the world and are real collector items.
Like all Japanese knives, the Konosuke knives are not dishwasher safe, cleaning and drying after each use is the best treatment for these exclusive products.
