"Over the last few years in Kaneshige / Konosuke, it has been our goal to start producing and finishing our products in house in order to solve and control problems with manufacturing times, as well as to keep a high level of finishing and quality control across all our new products while implementing new grinding and finishing techniques.

The KS-01 Gyuto combines classic details with modern finishing techniques.

We have taken iconic details from our flagship Fujiyama series and elevated them with a new modern approach to sharpening that has given us the ability to reach higher levels in detail and accuracy.

The Konosuke KS-01 has opened a new door of possibilities for us, as we look forward to making future products."

A chef's knife ('Gyuto' in Japanese) is the most versatile blade that can handle almost anything in the kitchen. Their shape and often generous edge length mean that whether it's cutting small tomatoes or portioning a large roast, you can do it with one blade. Most cooks have multiple chef's knives and it is not hard to justify getting one more when it has so much utility.
