FAQs
What is a Honesuki used for?
A Honesuki is designed for poultry breakdown, separating joints, and trimming meat. Use controlled cuts around joints; do not use it to chop through bones or frozen food.
Will the kurouchi finish change over time?
The dark forge-scale finish can lighten with use or heavy scrubbing. The exposed carbon-steel edge will also develop a natural patina.
