Kanehide Bessaku Honesuki 150mm – Designed for Precision and Versatility
The Kanehide Bessaku Honesuki 150mm is crafted from semi-stainless mono steel, the same high-performance material used in the renowned Kikuichi TKC line. Originally designed for processing poultry, this versatile knife has become a popular choice for a variety of kitchen tasks.
Unlike traditional single-bevel honesuki knives, this blade features a double-bevel edge, giving it more of a general-purpose utility akin to a petty knife. Its unique shape and balanced weight make it ideal for secure in-hand work and precision tasks like garnishing.
Another standout feature is its asymmetrical grind, enhancing cutting performance from the spine to the edge. Combined with exceptional fit and finish, the knife’s value is unmatched. The rosewood handle, in particular, offers a beautifully crafted and comfortable grip, adding a touch of elegance to its functional design.
With half the chromium content of fully stainless steel, the blade is reactive and will develop a patina over time. Wash and towel dry immediately after use to maintain its appearance and performance. For extra care, you can use Bar Keepers Friend.
