Masamoto uses very pure Japanese virgin carbon steel for the high quality HC Series knife. To provide excellent edge retention and edge sharpness, the blades are heat-treated to HRc. 61-62.

Masamoto HC Series knife features full tang construction, water-resistant black pakkawood (Resin-stabilized wood composite) handle scales and a seamlessly forge-welded stainless steel bolster for extra durability and corrosion-resistance. The handle scales and bolster have also been rounded-off to allow a comfortable, secure grip.

Honesuki knives were originally intended to be a specialist knife for de-boning and breaking down poultry, but many people have found this knife is also capable of filleting fish or red meat and can perform many of the tasks that Western boning knives are used for.
