Shun Blue Honesuki Knife VG-0011

The honesuki is a Japanese boning knife that is perfect for maneuvering around bones and joints. With its 4-1/2" blade, you'll have complete control as you process poultry and other proteins. The razor-sharp blade effortlessly removes breasts from bone and cuts through joint cartilage like butter. It's also great for scoring, trimming, and even scraping. Once you try this Japanese boning knife, you may never want to go back to a European style knife again. The Shun Pro Blue Honesuki is part of the Shun Blue line, developed in collaboration with award-winning chef Chris Cosentino. Chef Cosentino, known for his "nose-to-tail" cooking philosophy, selected traditional Japanese blade shapes that are essential for preparing proteins. These knives feature a carbon steel cutting core for a sharp edge and easy re-sharpening. The core is sandwiched between two layers of mirror-polished stainless steel for durability. The knife also has a beautiful grey PakkaWood handle, designed for a secure and comfortable grip. It's important to note that the "blue" carbon steel used in this knife allows for a razor-sharp edge and easier re-sharpening. However, it does require additional care.
