Konosuke Sanjo GS+ Nashiji wa-petty (office knife), 150 mm, Ho octagonal with Ebony
Konosuke GS+ wa-petty, 150 mm, SLD steel.
This is the improved version of the original GS series. The blade is double-sided and made of special Japanese SLD magic steel. The blade is extremely thin and manually sharpened and has no thickenings, which makes sharpening very easy. The handle is octagonal and made of Japanese honoki wood with ebony bolster. The new GS+ series distinguishes itself from the original GS series by a slightly higher Rockwell hardness, a slightly higher blade and a better finish. The office knife is designed for preparing fish, meat, vegetables and fruit.
These blades have a so-called "machi", the small opening between the handle and the blade. This small neck can be seen on many knives from Sakai and is very traditional for certain regions. Traditionally, a knife with a machi is measured from the machi opening to the tip. The edge of the blade is always slightly shorter.
