Moritaka Knives Blue #2 Honesuki 150mm
Are you still after that samurai dream and want a Japanese kitchen knife that has everything you need and leaves out everything you don't? Try out a Moritaka Hamono and see why they have been in business for over 725 years. To keep your knife performing at its best, consider adding our professional sharpening service for razor-sharp precision.
Some people need to believe that the smith who forged their Japanese kitchen knife also forged samurai swords way back when, to conjure that fantasy of becoming a samurai. Well, Moritaka Hamono comes close to that fantasy, having forged swords and now kitchen knives on the islands of Okinawa for the last 725 years and 31 generations of experience.
About the knife: This honesuki features a core of Aogami #2 (Blue #2) steel wrapped in a kurouchi finish. Known for its toughness and excellent edge retention, Blue #2 is a favorite among acclaimed makers like Anryu, Konosuke, and Saji. These qualities make it an ideal choice for a workhorse knife, particularly suited to the demands of a honesuki.
The honesuki is Japan’s answer to a Western poultry boning knife. Its rigid spine, precision-oriented k-tip, and tough heel make it perfect for working through cartilage and deboning. If you’re even remotely considering chicken butchery, this honesuki is an invaluable tool you’ll wish you’d bought sooner.
