Hand-forged in Sakai, Japan by Yoshikazu Tanaka, this 170mm honesuki is a Zahocho custom order built in a double bevel configuration, a departure from the traditional single bevel honesuki. It has a Shirogami #1 core (~63-64 HRC) with iron cladding and a migaki finish. This Japanese boning knife is stiff enough to cut through cartilage, tendons, and joints, with a reverse tanto tip suited to tight spaces around the bone. It suits both professional kitchens and home cooks.
