Traditional Japanese Knife | Honesuki Knife
The honesuki knife is the Japanese version of a boning knife. They differ in shape to their western counterparts, as well as having a more rigid blade. These knives are mainly useful for poultry boning, but are also great as a utility or petty knife. There are single bevel variants of the honesuki knife suited specifically to left or right-hand users, as well as dual bevel variants. Single bevel is the traditional method of grind.
