Konosuke HD2 145mm Honesuki - Khii Ebony

From Konosuke's HD2 series, we now have this elegant honesuki in the shop.

There should be no doubt that Konosuke in particular is synonymous with quality, good craftsmanship and eminent sharpness. This knife belongs to the HD2 family, which over the years has gained traction on the global market as one of the most recognized series available.

The steel in the HD2 knives is simply called HD2 and is semi-stainless. This means that it is very rust-resistant of a carbon steel knife, but you still have to work with it as if it were a knife of, for example, blue steel. So it should be washed and dried every time you put it down - unless you are good friends with patina.

The honesuki is a Japanese type of boning that is mainly used for poultry. Over the years, this type has also gained traction in many Western kitchens and is now used extensively by many chefs, fellow enthusiasts and amateur chefs worldwide.

Foodgear always advises against cutting all kinds of bones and frozen goods. Knives must not be washed in a dishwasher, as this removes sharpness and provokes rust - even in stainless alloys!
