Konosuke

Konosuke in Sakai - these are absolutely top class knives. The family-owned forge is run today by Kosuke Kawamura, who is the great-grandson of the original founder. It is a relatively small company with the resulting production, but due to the completely eminent craftsmanship, the knives from Konosuke have nevertheless achieved a very special status worldwide, which means that the most popular models are almost always sold out.

The common denominator for the knives from Konosuke is that they cut fantastically in each way, and that a lot has been done with the finish of the knives. If you look at the knives in Konosuke's GS+ series , you will notice that the handle is made from one whole piece of wood. No other forges do that, because it is actually quite difficult. Konosuke's knives are often very light - and combined with the stylish design, it just makes for a particularly delicious knife, the likes of which we have never seen.
