Konosuke Sanjo GS+ Nashiji wa-gyuto (chef's knife), 210 mm, Ho octagonal with ebony
Konosuke GS + wa-gyuto, 210 mm, SLD steel.
This is the improved version of the original GS series. The blade is double-sided and made from special Japanese SLD magic steel. The blade is extremely thin and manually sharpened and has no thickening which makes grinding very easy. The handle is octagonal and made from Japanese Honoki wood. The new GS + series distinguishes itself from the original GS series by a slightly higher Rockwell hardness, slightly higher blade, better finish. The knife is designed to cut fish, meat and vegetables and is the best-selling kitchen knife model.
These blades have so called "Machi" which is the small gap between the handle and the blade. This small Neck is seen on many knives from Sakai and is very traditional for certain regions. Traditionally when a knife has a Machi the length of the blade is measured from the Machi gap to the tip. The blade edge is always a bit shorter.
