Masakage Koishi Stainless Clad Aogami Super Kurouchi Tsuchime 150mm Honesuki Blade Only
Consider Masakage as a unique umbrella of skilled blacksmiths, collectively working under one brand. Founded in Echizen by Takayuki Shibata, a renowned Japanese knife sharpener, Masakage houses a variety of lines, each one reflecting the distinctive traits of the blacksmiths who forge them. Essentially, buying any knife from Masakage ensures a quality Echizen product.
The Koishi line is one of Masakage's most popular, crafted by Yoshimi Kato. Every knife in this line features a Blue Super Steel (Aogami Super) core steel, encased in stainless cladding with a hammered (tsuchime) pattern and an elegant matte kurouchi finish. The combination of high-performance core steel and high contrast hammer kurouchi finish makes each knife in this line a real standout.
The honesuki is the Japanese counterpart to a Western poultry boning knife. With its rigid spine, precision-crafting k-tip, and a sharp, durable heel for cutting through cartilage, the honesuki is the ideal tool for chicken butchery. Once you've experienced the honesuki, you'll never want to use anything else. Be quick - these highly sought-after knives won't last long!
