Description & specifications
From Konosuke's HD2 series, we now have this fantastic 18cm utility for 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 for a carbon steel knife, but you still have to work with it as if it were a knife made 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.
A utility knife is the chef's knife's best friend. The HD2 utility excels in being light as a feather and at the same time cuts formidable. With a length of 180mm, it copes well with most tasks in the kitchen, and can in many respects replace a chef's knife, even if the blade is not as high. It is brilliant for precision work such as trimming meat or chopping onions etc.

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!
Maintenance & use
Never cut into bones or frozen items as this may damage the egg. Always wash the knife by hand and dry it thoroughly immediately.
Please note that both the blade and handle can be seriously damaged and broken if the knife is washed in a dishwasher – this also applies to stainless steel and wooden handles.
