What to know before you buy
About this knife
- Honesuki knives of this 150mm length are small, for detail work and compact boards.
- It has a Japanese-style (wa) handle: a handle without a metal bolster, set into the blade with a hidden tang.
- Aogami #2 (Blue #2) is a carbon steel that rusts and stains if it is left wet, so it is wiped dry after every use.
Limits to know
- Carbon steel develops a patina and can rust; it is not for a knife that sits wet in the sink.
Written from this knife's catalog record (steel, handle, length, grind). Knife Fit has not tested it; see how we work.
Good to know for beginners
A honesuki is a stiff, triangular Japanese boning knife for breaking down chicken and trimming meat around joints. Work between the bones with the tip and heel; never chop through them. Most honesuki are ground for right-handers. Aogami #2 (Blue #2) is carbon steel: very sharp and easy to sharpen, but wipe it dry while you cook or it will rust (the stainless cladding keeps the rest of the blade easy). The Japanese wa handle is light and puts the balance toward the blade.
