HD2 is a semi stainless steel that Konosuke heat treats to about 61 HRC, giving this 120mm petty an edge that sharpens easily while still holding up through a long work session. The handle on this version is a Khii laurel, a lighter colored alternative to the ebony option also available at CKTG.
Konosuke has built its reputation over more than 80 years working out of Sakai City, earning a following among serious knife collectors for consistent quality and performance. The HD line in particular has been one of the best selling single lines at CKTG, known to sell out within minutes when new batches go online. Petty knives like this one, ranging from about 75mm up to 210mm, fill much the same role as a western paring or utility knife, well suited to garnish work and other small, detailed tasks.
Care Instructions:HD2 is a semi stainless steel, easier to care for than a fully reactive carbon steel but not entirely rust proof, so hand wash and dry the blade after use rather than running it through a dishwasher. It will develop a light patina over time, or you can keep it polished if you prefer a brighter look. Avoid cutting through bones or frozen foods, and sharpen on quality water stones when the edge needs attention.
