The Sakai Takayuki Honesuki Boning Knife, 150mm in length, is meticulously forged from a multi-layered VG10 damascus steel, comprising 33 distinct layers. This composition ensures an edge that is not only razor-sharp but also boasts impressive durability with a hardness rating of 60-61 HRC, promising superior edge retention alongside a comfortably balanced heft.
Each knife is adorned with a handle skillfully shaped into a half-rounded octagonal form, utilizing Japanese Zelkova wood, which evokes a sense of traditional Japanese aesthetics. The bolster of the knife, fashioned from resilient mahogany wood, offers increased longevity and a reduced tendency for cracking, a notable improvement over traditional horn materials.
