The Kanehide Bessaku Honesuki 150mm is made from a semi-stainless steel using a mono steel construction. It is the same steel that is used in the ever popular Kikuichi TKC line of blades. The honesuki pictured here is specifically designed for processing poultry, but many use the knife for other tasks as well.
Many honesuki knives are single bevel designs, reflecting their Japanese heritage. But many are now being made with a two-sided edge, as is this example. A side effect of this double bevel is that the knife becomes more of a general purpose petty style knife. The shape and weight allow for easy and secure in-hand work as well as being a great blade for creating garnishes.
Another unique aspect of this knife is that it's ground asymmetrically for better performance from the spine to the edge. The overall fit and finish of the blade and handle are a revelation given their keen pricing. The rosewood handle in particular is wonderfully conceived and finished.
If you are looking for a blade that will not break the bank, while allowing you entry into a specialized area of kitchen cutlery, we cannot recommend the Kanehide Bessaku Honesuki 150mm highly enough!
This knife has half the chromium of a fully stainless knife, so it will be reactive and form a patina. Wash and towel dry after each use, and use Bar Keepers Friend if desired.Weight: 5.1 oz (144 g)
Edge Length: 150 mm
Total Length: 270 mm
Spine Thickness at Base: 2.5 mm
Blade Height: 38.7 mm
Right-Handed Grind

Really de-boned a chicken in record time ,single bevel is workable cant wait for fish de-boning ,I can see how the flat side will help leave no meat behind. I hate to leave behind any of the precious coastal B.C. Canadian Salmon.

Ok, i've processed a few hundred pounds of everything with this knife. Chicken, pork picnic shanks, you name it. this knife is a total beast. No, not a chef, don't work in a kitchen but i do process raw food for my pup and obviously cook for myself. i reach for this knife time and time again. do note, it does tend to walk on you when you cut since its a single bevel but you can adjust. razor sharp and holds the edge for a long time.

This knife is awesome. I originally bought a right handed honesuki and thought I could work around it. No such luck. I love this knife. It's super sharp and it's a great price point for southpaw chefs like myself.
