We wanted to make a more durable, stylish, versatile and practical Honesuki (Japanese Boning Knife), with an even higher level of craftsmanship and passion.
During the very hot summer season of 2022, we have been working closely with Mr. Gotou and his special Craftsman Team to produce an impressive, stylish and practical Boning Knife. We are pleased to announce the "Kagayaki Basic Series Mighty Boning Knife” is now finished and available for purchase.
Expert Craftsmanship and true Passion are necessary to create the beautifully polished, three-dimensional Mighty Boning Knife blade; The perfectly polished blade tip and spine are particularly impressive.
In addition to maintaining the same high-quality finishing and manufacturing standards established by our existing Kagayaki Basic Series line, we wanted to create a nice visual accent and provide extra comfort when holding the knife in a pinch grip.
“KAGAYAKI Basic Series” knives are made with V-Gold No.1 stainless steel, heat-treated to HRc. 60. This beautiful sparkling blade is meticulously hand finished and has smooth pakkawood handles that fit your hand comfortably. In terms of quality control and cutting performance, we think this knife is a work of art, it will bring joy to home cooks and chefs alike.
Kagayaki Basic Series knives are made by Mr. Gotou’s special Craftsman Team. For 40 years, it has been Mr. Gotou’s goal to make highly functional blades that have excellent cutting performance, blade geometry, edge sharpness and durability. He has made knives for numerous famous Japanese retailers and knife companies, so we recommend his knives with confidence.
The Garasuki shares the same overall blade profile as the Honesuki, but the Garasuki is larger in size, thicker, and heavier. These features make it ideal for de-boning and breaking down the larger sizes of poultry and cuts of meat. Just like the Honesuki, 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.
The larger, thicker, heavier, more durable, Single Bevel Edge of the Mighty Honesuki Boning Knife can also be used to efficiently fillet and portion saltwater fish. It is an ideal knife for de-boning and breaking down larger-sized poultry and big cuts of meat.
