If a knife were a racehorse, it would be a Konosuke GS+

The cutting experience of this knife is beyond words, so it is a knife that really needs to be tested.

One aspect of knifemaking that Konosuke masters particularly well is the ability to make the blades wedge-shaped all the way from the heel to the tip. This makes the blade very thin, which combined with the sharpness makes the knife glide easily when cutting.

Technically, the blade consists of three layers of steel - two soft layers around a core of the core. The core is a fantastic steel, as it combines the ability of carbon steel to get a particularly fine edge, but at the same time is relatively rust resistant. The reason for this is that the core is a "pure" stainless alloy, simply put.

The main component of the alloy is iron and carbon, but a little more chromium has also been added than in, for example, aogami, and this is what gives it the resistance to rust. When we write that it is a pure alloy, it is because it does not contain a lot of other alloying elements such as nickel, unlike other stainless knives, and this is what allows the core to be as fine as an egg.

A magnolia wood saya is included for storing the knife.
