Hatsukokoro Kurogane Blue 2 Kurouchi Honesuki 150mm Double Bevel Black Chacate, Japanese boning knife
This honesuki is a stiff, triangular boning knife for breaking down poultry around joints. The blade is a practical everyday length. Forged by Hatsukokoro Kurogane with a kurouchi finish, it pairs hard, keen Japanese steel with the thin grind and balance that let the blade glide through food with less resistance. The forged carbon steel takes a keen edge and gains character with use.

Care and everyday use
It is at its best for boning poultry. This is a carbon-steel blade, which takes an exceptionally keen edge but reacts with food and water. Hand wash and dry it immediately after use, wipe on a light coat of oil before storage, and expect a natural patina to form over time. Keep it off bone and frozen food, and sharpen on a whetstone to bring the edge back.

Solid buy. Sharp, light and nimble. Would happily buy from Knives and Stones again.

Lovely knife and a joy to use. A little more blade care than my stainless knives but worth it.

Great honesuki. Took a light touch-up on the stones to get it exactly how I like it, then flawless.

Scary sharp out of the box. Glides through onions and tomatoes with zero effort.

Feels fantastic in the hand and the Kurouchi looks even better in person.

The Blue #2 takes a wicked edge. Fit and finish are excellent for the price.
