Honesuki (骨スキ) – The Japanese Poultry Boning Knife
Honesuki is a traditional Japanese boning knife primarily designed for breaking down poultry. The name “Honesuki” means “bone lover,” reflecting its specialized role in cutting around joints and separating meat from bone.
Unlike Western flexible boning knives, Honesuki features a stiff, triangular blade that provides greater control and precision. The pointed tip is ideal for working around joints, while the strong heel section allows clean cuts through cartilage.
Typically ranging from 145mm to 165mm in length, Honesuki knives are widely used in professional kitchens for chicken preparation and other detailed butchery tasks.
For cooks who frequently process poultry or require precise joint work, Honesuki is a highly effective and specialized tool.
VG10 is a high-carbon stainless steel developed in Japan and widely used in premium kitchen knives. It contains added cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium to enhance hardness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. VG10 offers a refined grain structure and a balanced combination of sharpness, durability, and maintenance ease.
