A honesuki is built for breaking down poultry and working carefully around joints, and this 150mm version brings that purpose-built shape into the Hatsukokoro SLD Damascus line. The pointed tip and compact profile make it easy to maneuver in tight spaces around bone and joint, while the SLD semi-stainless core delivers strong edge retention and toughness while asking for less maintenance than a fully reactive carbon steel.
The blade is wrapped in stainless Damascus cladding, adding durability and corrosion resistance while showing the layered pattern that runs through the rest of the SLD Damascus line. San mai construction and the double bevel 50/50 edge give a smooth cutting feel with improved food release, and the octagonal ebony handle offers a comfortable, secure grip.
Care Instructions: Although SLD is semi-stainless, it is not fully stainless. Hand wash and dry promptly after use. Do not leave wet or store in a damp environment. Avoid cutting frozen foods or hard materials, and do not twist the blade during use.
We do not carry a saya that fits this knife. We recommend the felt blade guard instead.
