The Konosuke line of knives is very well known for their exceptional quality, incredibly thin grinds, and flawless performance. At 270mm this sujihiki is ready for whatever the home cook or professional chef can throw at it. This series of knives is one of the most popular, if not THE most popular series of knives that Chef Knives To Go carries.
The blade is a mono-steel construction using HD2, semi-stainless steel. The heat treat on the blade is in the range of 61 HRC. As mentioned the grinds and geometry on this knife are designed for high performance, and boy does it deliver! This knife is not only thin at the spine, but it is insanely thin behind the edge. Couple the thinness of the blade with the steel's ability to take and hold a rather acute sharpening angle, and you are in for a real treat!
The handle is made of ebony and laurel in a slim, octagonal shape. Please note that Kosuke likes to install the handles with a small gap in the machi and it's intentional and it's called Tokyo Style.Maker: Konosuke

Out of the box this knife was amazingly sharp. It is wafer thin at the edge and drops right through what your cutting. The length was perfect as I prefer a larger knife. The balance point is right below the engraving so for a pinch grip it's spot on. The only thing about this k ice I would change is little more hight on the heel. I have larger hands and it would be more comfortable if there was more clearance between the handle and board.

All of the hype is real--this knife is brilliant. I wondered if the 270 might be a bit much, but this feels more nimble than my 240 Masamoto VG. The ootb sharpness was very good, and the knife is a delight to use.
