Designed with precision and durability in mind, our new Limited-Edition Honesuki knife blends Japanese tradition with Western craftsmanship, ensuring an unparalleled kitchen experience. Once sold out, it will never be available again—only 1,000 knives were made. Here, get a peek behind the curtain of our design process for this speciality limited-edition blade.
What Is a Honesuki Knife?
The Honesuki is a Japanese boning knife traditionally used for breaking down poultry, but its versatility extends beyond butchery. The shorter, triangular blade allows for fine, controlled cuts, making it ideal for finesse prep and even as an alternative to a utility or boning knife.
Key design elements include:
- A flat spine with a slight dip for precise cuts around bones.
- A razor-sharp reverse tanto tip for maneuverability in tight spaces.
- A sturdy, full-tang construction for balance and durability.
The Craftsmanship Behind the Blade
We’re proud to manufacture each of our Japanese knives in Seki City, Japan, ensuring unrivaled craftsmanship honed through centuries. Here are just a few facets of this knife that make it so special.
Authentic Damascus Steel
This knife is not just Damascus in appearance—it is made using a true forging and folding process that creates 66 layers of Damascus steel. The VG-10 steel core provides razor-sharp precision, excellent edge retention, and easy maintenance. Unlike laser-etched imitations, this knife embodies the art and function of traditional Damascus steel craftsmanship, and ensures each blade pattern is unique and no two knives are alike.
A Unique East-Meets-West Bolster
One of the most distinct features of this knife is its fully forged bolster, a rare feature in Japanese knives. While most knives from this region lack a bolster, we worked for years to develop a true Made In bolster—offering enhanced grip, balance, and control for both precision and power.
Paduak Wood Handle
The handle is made from Padauk wood, an elegant and durable hardwood that withstands the rigors of the kitchen. Previously seen on our Limited Edition Bunka Knife, Paduak wood develops its own unique pattern and character over time while maintaining a secure grip.
Thoughtful Details
This knife is more than just a tool—it’s a statement piece. Thoughtful design touches include:
- A custom mosaic rivet, adding a touch of artistry.
- Individually numbered knives, marking their exclusive, limited-edition status.
- A seamless addition to our growing Japanese Knife Collection, which includes the Gyuto, Nakiri, and Santoku.
