Konosuke is a knife company heralding from the heart of the Japanese knife industry, Sakai City. In business for 80 years, they have earned an enviable reputation for quality and superb performance among many knife cognoscenti.
The 210mm gyuto is, hands down, the most popular knife among home cooks. It is the perfectly sized blade for use in the home kitchen where cutting board real estate is at a premium. It also has a lightness and nimble feel to it that allows for its use in all kinds of cutting, slicing, and chopping scenarios.
Konosuke is one of our most popular manufacturers and the HD line is one of our biggest selling single lines. The HDs have the same dimensions as the knives in their White #2 line but utilize an exclusive semi-stainless steel which brings an ease of maintenance and edge retention to the equation.
The HD steel is heat-treated to a hardness of 61 Rockwell, which results in an easy-to-sharpen edge with an ability to maintain that edge even after the longest work session. This fine blade is attached to a beautifully finished ho wood handle with water buffalo ferrule.
Because this knife is 220mm it is too long for all of our 210mm gyuto sayas. Please choose the 8" blade guard instead.Maker: Konosuke
Location: Sakai, Japan
Weight: 4.5 oz (128 g)
Edge Length: 220 mm
Total Length: 379 mm
Spine Thickness at Base: 2.4 mm
Blade Height at Base: 49.0 mm
Please note this is the new version that is taller than the old one.

I waited almost a year to get one of these and one day some came in and i was lucky to get one. Seems they were gone in 20 minutes or less. When it arrived in a few days (great fast service as usual) my first impression was; This is a sexy knife! The fit and finish was perfect and the blade had a luster to it unlike my other acquisitions. No its not as tall as a gyuto but its so light just glides through produce. Im very happy with this knife!

I've owned this knife for years. It reminds me of a large Sab utility: it isn't quite a gyuto, but it isn't a petty either. It is unlike any knife I've owned, really, since it is smaller than a typical 210 gyuto in every way, but somehow feels more versatile and more robust than a 6" knife (gyuto or petty). What really shines about this knife is its exceptional, laser-like performance and extremely thin tip combined with a firm feeling steel and excellent feedback in the blade. It is also sharpens very easily and has a nice balance despite being light as a feather. Really wonderful through smaller, softer ingredients like melons and tomatoes and cucumbers, where its agility makes tasks like peeling or slicing off the board a breeze, while its grind makes slicing a chopping effortless.

Thanks for all the help guys. After months of research, I pushed the button. I called just to ask a few questions and Mark was great. Ordered on Friday, came in on Monday (that was free shipping too). I didn't know that I was ordering a 210mm razor blade. There is no need to further describe how sharp this knife is and how well it cuts. If you have one, you know. If you don't..., push the button. For anyone trying with this in your choice list, buy it. I dropped a tomato on it from about a foot up...warm butter. I am push cutting without even thinking about it, never would have even tried that before. I felt so bad about it's blade hitting my regular wooden cutting board, I ordered a 20x15x3.5 inch end grain board. A beautiful knife like this should never touch anything else.Now.... wa petty anyone? :D
