The unique feature of the Honesuki blade is its asymmetrical cutting edge, generally sharper on one side (70/30), enabling clean, precise cuts. This knife combines functionality and aesthetics, reflecting the expertise of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. It is ideal for chefs specializing in Japanese cuisine, and perfectly suited to those seeking precision in the preparation of poultry or small fish dishes. Its ability to produce fine, controlled cuts makes it an invaluable tool in professional kitchens and for gourmet enthusiasts.
Today, we also find Honesuki knives with symmetrical 50/50 or "ambidextrous" blades. Easier to learn, the ambidextrous Honesuki is a little less effective in the hands of an experienced cook.
