Shun Kanso Honesuki Knife - 5″

Shun Kanso Honesuki Knife – 5″

✨ Japanese Precision for Poultry Perfection ✨

Expertly crafted for precision and control, the Shun Kanso 5″ Honesuki Knife is the ultimate tool for boning poultry and trimming meats with ease. Inspired by traditional Japanese cutlery, the triangular-shaped blade allows for seamless cutting around bones and joints, giving you exceptional accuracy and maneuverability 🍖.

The 16° razor-sharp edge glides effortlessly through cartilage, tendons, and connective tissue—making it easy to separate meat cleanly without tearing. Unlike Western-style boning knives, the Honesuki features a sturdy, compact design that enhances control for delicate, precise work.

Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, this knife is made from AUS10A high-carbon stainless steel, known for its strength, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The heritage finish conceals scratches and develops a beautiful patina over time, while the Tagayasan wood handle—often called “iron sword wood”—delivers a secure, comfortable grip and timeless appeal ⚔️.
