Moritaka Ishime Honesuki 150mm

About the Shape – The Honesuki is a Japanese style boning knife. Originally designed for poultry and small animals like rabbit, it excels for many larger butchering and fish filleting work. 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.

About Moritaka Ishime –Moritaka Hamono was founded in 1293 and has been producing high-quality blades for 31 generations. I think they know what they’re doing by now. Five generations ago the family made the switch to producing only Hocho (kitchen knives). The knives made by the Moritaka family have a real classiness and beauty. This series of knives are known for its thinness which translates to fantastic sharpness. This finish is known as Ishime, Rock Surface, and was not used on kitchen knives before this series. This series is exclusive to Knifewear.
