Description
The Honesuki-Maru is a more specialised knife than most in the Nihonko range, specifically designed for boning out and particularly effective on hanging meat. Slightly curved with an excellent tip for working closely along seams and bones.
This particular honesuki is constructed from SK carbon steels and finished with a riveted Yo (western) style handle. Carrying a lower price tag and less pizzaz than it’s hand forged counterparts the Nihonko range could easily be written off, but we’ll champion it all day long, with It’s lovely thin profile and excellent sharpenability these knives are a truly excellent choice for professionals, enthusiastic home cooks and those looking to dip their toe into the world of Japanese knives.
