{"product_id":"honesuki-150mm-5-12","title":"Honesuki 150mm (5.9\")","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Honesuki is a Japanese boning knife designed primarily for breaking down poultry but also excels at processing larger cuts of meat with bone. Unlike Western boning knives, which tend to be thin and flexible, the Honesuki features a thicker spine and rigid, triangular blade, giving it superior strength and precision. This rigidity allows for clean, controlled cuts while preventing the blade from bending when working around joints and bones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIts sharp, fine tip makes it easy to maneuver around sockets and tight spaces, while the sturdy edge efficiently separates meat from bone with minimal effort. The Honesuki is not meant for heavy-duty cleaving but is perfect for trimming, deboning, and scraping meat cleanly from the bone. Its unique design may take some getting used to, but once mastered, it becomes an invaluable tool for butchers and chefs who work with poultry and meat regularly. If you’re looking for a precise, powerful, and highly efficient boning knife, the Honesuki is a game-changer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAS  Nashiji Kurouchi series blends the rugged charm of traditional kurouchi with refined nashiji (pear-skin) texture .At its heart lies Aogami Super steel, hardened to around 62 63 HRC, offering razor-sharp performance and resilience, while the kurouchi finish preserves grainy rustic patina that resists rust enhanced by the classic Nashiji speckle for both aesthetics and functionality. Each blade is thinned to a precise kiriha bevel profile, delivering fast, clean slices and easy sharpening.. Overall, this line captures Kato’s skillful marriage of time-honored forging methods with chef grade performance ideal for cooks seeking a dependable workhorse that also makes a striking statement on the cutting board.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 118\u003c\/span\u003eg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Octagonal magnolia with black buffalo ferrule\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 127\u003c\/span\u003emm (5\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 149\u003c\/span\u003emm (5.8\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 41\u003c\/span\u003emm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness at spine:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 2.2\u003c\/span\u003emm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness at tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e0.1mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDouble 50\/50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Aogami Super (AS) core with stainless steel cladding and kurouchi, nashiji finish \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness (Rockwell scale):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 62\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- 63\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yoshimi Kato AS Nashiji Kurouchi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58009028100479,"sku":null,"price":239.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/0646\/7124\/files\/IMG_5513.heic?v=1784463323","url":"https:\/\/knivesforchefs.co.uk\/products\/honesuki-150mm-5-12","provider":"Knives for Chefs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
