Glestain K-series Honesuki 150mm

 

About Glestain K-series – This is one of the best-engineered knives I’ve ever seen. The geniuses behind Glestain set out to design the ultimate kitchen knife for professionals, and they struck gold. A big problem for fast-chopping cooks and chefs is food piling up on the blade, and this knife tackles the issue two ways: deep dimples break the surface tension on the blade, while a pronounced bevel on one side pushes the food over. Genius! The knife is right-handed and will want to steer slightly to the left, but with a little practice, you’ll be chopping at high speed with the best of them.

Honma Kagaku, the company that made this knife, prioritizes form and function. They intimately understand the needs of customers who use these tools all day. This innovative approach has allowed them to stand out from their competition, making them successful since their founding in 1971. The K Series is their most popular line thanks to this revolutionary approach.

ACUTO440 steel is the perfect choice when making a knife for chefs. It takes an impressive edge while being totally stainless and durable enough to handle life in a professional kitchen. 

About the Shape –The Honesuki is a Japanese style boning knife. Originally designed for poultry and small animals like rabbit, it excels in many larger butchering and fish filleting jobs. It has a relatively thick heel for scraping meat from bones, and a thinner tip for precise cuts. You don’t want to force this knife through bone, but it’s perfect for cutting through cartilage and tendons.
