The Hatsukokoro Hikari SLD Honesuki 150mm is built for those who value function, form, and sharp execution. This honesuki is purpose-built for breaking down poultry and working around joints with control and precision. The compact profile and pointed tip make it easy to maneuver through tight spaces, while the relatively tall heel provides stability when trimming and portioning. The thin spine and moderate weight give the knife a nimble, balanced feel in hand. Whether you're in a professional kitchen or your home setup, this honesuki brings a clean, confident cut every time.
Crafted with SLD semi-stainless tool steel, the blade delivers excellent edge retention and toughness with less maintenance than traditional carbon steel. The refined grind, clean kasumi finish, and visible hamon line give the blade a serious, understated aesthetic: no gimmicks, just performance.
The dark octagonal handle is made from rich hardwood ebony, with a polished finish. It feels solid in the hand and looks as good as it performs. Light, responsive, and laser-sharp out of the box, this one is built for precision and control in tight spaces.
