Masamoto CT Series Knife is highly affordable Western-style Chef’s knife that features a high carbon steel blade (HRc. 58-59), full tang construction, attractive red sandalwood handle scales and a seamlessly bolster. The edges of the handle and bolster have been nicely rounded to allow a comfortable, secure grip.
Compared to stainless steel knives, carbon steel blades require additional care and maintenance to avoid rust. However, because high carbon steel knife will maintain a very sharp edge for a long time and are can be re-sharpened with relative ease, we thoroughly recommended them to serious knife users and culinary professionals.
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.

For your information, most of the Japanese Kitchen knives come originally with double bevel edge sharpened 70/30 (face side/back side) for Western style knives. This geometry came from Japanese Traditional knives with single bevel edge and Shinogi blade construction. This is one of the special features and reasons why Japanese knives have an excellent cutting performance.
However, this 70/30 edge geometry is designed for right hand use, so we have a service to modify it to 30/70 for left handed users with re-sharpening process by skilled craftsman.
We believe the quality and cutting performance of Japanese knives are the best in the world, and hope you enjoy the fine craftsmanship and their sharp edge of your new knife. With proper cares, every Japanese knife should be your special cooking partner for a long time.
Important
This is the Carbon steel blade kitchen knife that can get rust and discolor easily, and requires extra care and attention to prevent rust.
French Polynesiathis knife is perfect, it is very sharp and the tip of the knife fulfills its function perfectly. the blade is quite thin for a *****, but very strong. I sharpened it recently and the blade sharpened very quickly and easily. I recommend the use of maintenance oil for this knife, which rusts quickly in humid countries, using oil once or twice a week is very sufficient.
United StatesPerfectly constructed blade, rivets are perfectly flush with wooden handle, and are sealed tight. (Always a concern if they are not.) I love using it and look forward to utilizing it in the work place. Only complaint is that the handle appears to have evidence of unfinished sanding, and the surface is marked with small indents and chips in the wood. Other than that it's beautiful.
ItalyLovely knife the most safe and courteous salesman
AustraliaI sharpened my knife for the first time the other day. The blade was easy to sharpen on my wet stones due to being so thin. I also used my brand new end grain cutting board... a necessity with this knife. So far I am extremely happy with my purchase.
United StatesLove the knife... no real complaints. Softer 57 I think steel for the accidental bone encounter, well made Mas. Great blade shape and great feel, replaces another one I lost somewhere :(. Also good for other delicate work not just breaking brown bird. I do wish Masamoto would etch their logo by hand though.
