The all new Konosuke GS+ line is new and improved to give a higher level of performance to an already great knife. The GS+ line has an HRC of 61-62, smoother grinds, better fit and finish, and new Khii chestnut octagon handles. You'll notice a small gap between the handle and the machi which is mostly aesthetic and it's often called "Tokyo Style" since many knives made in Tokyo have this feature. Japanese swords often have this gap to accommodate the hilt (called a Tsuba) and this alludes to that tradition. Enjoy!
