Masahiro Honesuki Carbon Steel ZCD-U

Product description

This Japanese Honesuki boning knife from Masahiro is designed for precision cutting of meat, poultry and game. It is a traditional working knife with a more robust geometry that allows for precise cutting, separating meat from bones and controlled work in joints.

The blade is made of original ZCD-U carbon steel, developed by Masahiro. This steel is valued for its very fine edge, high sharpness and easy sharpening. With proper maintenance, the knife retains its excellent cutting properties for a long time and gradually "sits" in the user's hand.

The ergonomically shaped natural wood handle has a wider profile that provides a secure grip and better control when working with meat. The balanced design makes the knife suitable for both professional butchers and chefs, as well as more experienced home users.
