Handcrafted in Seki, Japan by Masahiro, this 150mm honesuki is a monosteel blade made of MBS26 stainless steel at about 59 HRC. This Japanese boning knife is made for breaking down poultry. MBS26 is related to VG10, with good toughness, which makes it suitable for honesuki tasks. The reverse tanto tip helps with precise cuts in tight spots like joints. The steel resists rust and sharpens easily on stones. The handle is reinforced pakkawood. This knife is for right-handed users.
