Sakai Takayuki Honesuki Inox 150 mm is a Kansai-style Japanese knife designed for precise meat-to-bone work. Its robust triangular blade with a reverse tanto tip allows safe, accurate cuts around bones, while the thick heel and thinner tip make scraping, trimming, and joint work effortless. Fitted with an ergonomic pakkawood handle and stainless steel bolster, it delivers comfort, control, and durability for both professional chefs and home cooking enthusiasts.
BLADE SHAPE:
The Kansai-style Honesuki is a robust Japanese poultry knife with a triangular tip and a strong spine, allowing safe and precise work around bones. It is ideal for professional kitchens as well as home cooking enthusiasts working with meat and poultry.
Its blade features a thick heel that is ideal for scraping meat off bones, as well as a thinner tip that allows for precise cuts. The reverse tanto tip design increases the strength of the tip, which can be used to easily pierce the skin, as well as to make precise cuts in tight spots, like the joints. Its shape also allows for making quick turns, great for trimming away fat and connective tissue.
While it is not advisable to use excessive force when cutting through bone with this knife, it is well-suited for separating tendons and cartilage.
HANDLE:
The knife was fitted a western-style (Yo) ergonomic handle made of durable pakkawood wood, secured to the tang with stainless rivets. The stainless steel bolster gives the knife a gentle transition from the handle to the blade and provides a comfortable and firm grip during use.

We try to give a good photographic representation of our products, however computer screen resolution and colors do vary, so products might not look exactly as they are seen on screen.
Blade wear depends on the quality of steel, usage and maintenance of the blade. Japanese knives are made of high-quality steels. Follow these tips to keep your Japanese knife in top-notch shape:
✔ Use a wooden, plastic or rubber cutting board.
✔ After use, wash the knives and wipe them dry.
✔ For storage, use a knife holder or a protective knife sheath (saya).
✔ A good cutting technique is your best bet to prolong sharpness.
✔ Use sharpening stones to sharpen the knife.
❗️Don’t leave the knife in the sink. Wash it by hand.
❗️Don’t wash the knife in the dishwasher.
❗️Don’t use the knife on glass, ceramics, marble or steel surfaces.
❗️Don’t scrape the food off the cutting board with the edge of the blade. Use the spine of the knife instead.
❗️Knife is a tool intended for specific use - cutting food. It is not a can opener, screwdriver, trowel, wire cutter, hammer etc.
