Konosuke Tetsujin
Introducing a new line of knives from Konosuke, the “TETSUJIN”. These soft-iron clad, hitachi carbon core knives are forged by the Blacksmith ‘Tetsu’, a friend and partner to the FM Fujiyama Sharpener; their Workshops next door to each other. The resultant blade in Blue 2 has an HRC of 63-64, but with a very different feel compared to the Fujiyama Blacksmith (Yoshikazu Tanaka’s) Blue 2. A little softer, a little more resilient to chipping, and quicker to bring an edge back on stones, but still with excellent edge retention.
