Honesuki and Hankotsu knives

Discover the best Honesuki and the best Hankotsu for you !

It is specifically designed for deboning poultry, but many people have found the knife to be capable of filleting fish and performing many other tasks as well. The Honesuki has a particular, triangular profile which requires a very specific technique. It should not be used to split poultry or to cut their bones. For these tasks, I recommend the deba.

The Honesuki's ''tanto'' reverse tip design increases tip strength while allowing it to easily pierce skin and make precise cuts in tight spaces such as joints. It is also narrow enough to be able to turn quickly when cutting around and along the bone. The knife is also capable of cutting connective tissue and fat.
