Konosuke Sakai HD2 120mm Wa Petty Knife with Ho Wood (Magnolia) Handle, Ebony Ferrule, and Leather Sheath. Crafted from semi-stainless mono-steel, this blade combines the benefits of both stainless and carbon steel: easy sharpening, excellent edge retention, minimal reactivity, and superb cutting feel.

The HD2 series, handmade in Sakai City, is renowned for its exceptional thin grinds, hamaguri (convex) edge geometry, and top-tier heat treatment. These knives deliver outstanding performance and are a favorite among enthusiasts.

Konosuke, based in Sakai, collaborates with highly skilled blacksmiths across Japan to create premium kitchen knives. With meticulous attention to detail, from heat treatment to grind quality, their knives represent the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship. While rooted in Sakai's tradition, Konosuke also works with smiths from other regions like Sanjo. We are always excited to stock their exceptional knives!
