À propos de Masakage Koishi - 

Ces lames sont fines et légères, mais suffisamment solides pour couper les légumes avec facilité. J'aime la façon dont la majeure partie du poids est concentrée sur l'extrémité fonctionnelle du couteau, qui est faite d'un acier vraiment remarquable. Kato-san a forgé ce couteau à partir d'acier Aogami Super, qui devient incroyablement tranchant et conserve son tranchant plus longtemps que la plupart des autres. C'est, à mon avis, le roi incontesté de l'acier à couteaux.

La finition "tsuchime" (qui signifie "martelé") et "kurouchi" (qui signifie "martelé noir") donne l'impression de galets de rivière, inspirant le nom Koishi (qui signifie "petites pierres"). Un véritable outil culinaire badass, comme Jason Momoa en version couteau de cuisine.

Yoshimi Kato est le gendre et le successeur de Hiroshi Kato, l'un des fondateurs du village coutelier de Takefu. La transition d'apprenti à maître forgeron et chef d'entreprise s'est faite sans heurts pour Yoshimi-san. Il me dit qu'il s'efforce d'améliorer continuellement ses compétences jour après jour, et j'ai hâte de travailler avec la prochaine génération de Kato pour les décennies à venir ! 

Yoshimi-san est un homme calme, avançant tranquillement à un rythme régulier et s'exprimant davantage par ses couteaux que par ses mots. Et croyez-moi, ils parlent ! Les couteaux de Yoshimi-san comptent parmi les lames les plus magnifiques et les plus précises que j'aie jamais maniées.

À propos de la forme - Le Honesuki est un couteau à désosser de style japonais. Conçu à l'origine pour la volaille et les petits animaux comme le lapin, il excelle pour de nombreux travaux de boucherie et de filetage de poisson plus importants. Il possède un talon relativement épais pour racler la viande des os, et une pointe plus fine pour des coupes précises. Il ne faut pas forcer ce couteau à traverser l'os, mais il est parfait pour couper le cartilage et les tendons.

Une note sur les mesures : Les couteaux japonais faits à la main peuvent varier dans leurs dimensions, ces mesures ne sont donc qu'un exemple.


Carbon steel gets crazy sharp and holds an edge very well, but can rust. Stainless steel has the benefit of being less prone to rust but isn’t quite as sharp. Luckily, Japan has the solution. They make lots of kitchen knives by sandwiching 3 layers of steel together. In the case of kitchen knives the softer, outside layer is stainless and the hard core is carbon steel. The best of both worlds, super sharp — with low hassle. These are some of the most popular knives we sell. The exposed core steel can rust, and you have to wipe it dry to keep that from happening, but this is only a small part of the knife. Over time, the edge will oxidize from from shiny to a dull grey, this oxide layer slows down rust.

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad  because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with  your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End  grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the  knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly  damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe mineral oil or beeswax.  

• If you see orange rust, remove it. The scrubby side of a sponge can do the trick.  If it’s still not coming off try baking soda and water mixed into a paste or a product  called Barkeeper’s Friend.  

STORING  

• Protect the edge; for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or travel case. 

• A convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good-ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected. So can  drawer inserts. Whatever the method, keep the edge from touching anything else.

Reviews

What a beautiful knife!

"What a beauty! The Masakage Honesuki is both esthetically beautiful and laser sharp. It makes butchering a chicken a pleasurable job. It looks rugged from Knifewear's site but when I actually see it, I am amazed how refined this knife is. The finish is impeccable. I must also commend the Knifewear team for their efficiency. Knife was ordered at noon and was delivered the next day."

It will cut

"Exactly what I was looking for. Used for slicing meat, breaking down chicken, etc. Feels great in the hand, wicked sharp, looks good too!"

david h. (5/5)

Great knife

"Really enjoy this knife for deboning chicken and for fish"

REID B. (5/5)

Excellent knife

"This Honesuki for me has the perfect balance and weight."

Perry (5/5)

Wanted for a long time.

"When the Ottawa store first opened I bought a KUMO Honesuki, and a Weber kettle. I lost it during a move. And I've been wanting this as a replacement for years."

Greg M. (5/5)

Masakage Koishi AS Honesuki

"I bought this knife after I had boned 50 pounds of chicken with a German chef knife. I am quite sure in the future it will not be as exhausting with my new Honesuki, which is so light and easy to maneuver!"

Elizabeth S. (5/5)

Honesuki for life

"I held off buying a honesuki for a long time because it was such a specialized knife, and I wasn't sure I would use it enough to justify the purchase. Now that I have it, it has made deboning chicken and fish beef so much easier that I always reach for it. Instead of purchasing just boneless chicken thighs, I can go for the less expensive chicken leg + thigh and make the cuts I want for a given recipe. I selected this knife because I wanted the Japanese-style wood handle and the quality blade. I also loved the design and fine craftsmanship. It is a pleasure to hold the knife in my hand, and it feels completely balanced. I decided to spend a little extra money on this knife to get low maintenance. This blade does not rust as quickly after use as my other Japanese knife, which was a key feature I was looking for. I would like to say how much I enjoy shopping at Knifeware. The staff are knowledgeable and always eager to help you find the right knife. When I decided that I would purchase a honesuki, my experience was the same."

Jeffrey W. (5/5)

I have never eaten so much chicken!

"This is my first Honesuki and I went to town with it on chicken after chicken. The small size of the knife and its pointy tip makes agile work out of cutting around the bones, and the stiff hefty heel cuts through cartilage like butter. It is a beautiful knife, but it has a carbon steel core, so you do have to maintain it if you don’t like a tarnished or rusted edge. The handle is unfinished wood so waxing it is advised. I went to several knife stores in Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo last month, and I could not find a single Honesuki that was NOT mass produced with western style handles. The reason being that in Japan, this is more of a commercial kitchen knife for professional who needs to process a lot of chickens. So if you want a hand crafted Honesuki with WA handle made for knife fetishists instead of kitchen workers, this is where you will find them!"

Alex L. (5/5)

Very happy with this knife!

"Very happy with this knife! Blade is extremely sharp and the handle fits nicely in my hand. I applied some oil to the handle and the wood really looks great now! Both knives we've purchased at Knifewear are amazing quality and we're looking forward to growing our collection"

Keith P. (5/5)

This is my 3rd from

"This is my 3rd from the same line and I’m still obsessed!!! Always wanted a honesuki since when I first hold one 2 years ago... this beau is also razor sharp out of the box, gives just the right hand feel and breaks down poultry in a jiffy <3"

Q&A

Hello, I am wondering if this knife will be restocked or if it is no longer being made. Thank you for your time.
Hey there! Kato-san is indeed hard at working making us more knives in the Koishi, Yuki, and Kiri line as we speak. We&#x27;re hoping to see some more of all of his knives in the near future, possibly as soon as the end of the month. Go ahead and enter your email into the &quot;notify me when available&quot; button on our website and we&#x27;ll holler at you when they arrive! - Owen
how long does it take for your knives to be restocked?
Hey there, we should have this knife within a few weeks. As these are handmade sometimes it can take longer, if you are signed up for the back in stock email, you know as soon as we do! - Ellie
Do the Masakage carbon steel knives use a stainless tang (as with Moritaka)?
Great question, yes, the Koishi and other carbon clad Masakage have a stainless tang! - Ellie
Same question as my one before; is the blade ground on both sides ? If so, at what angle do you hone it on a ceramic rod ! If beveled on one side, how do you care for the non-beveled side ?
Hey Bill, same answer as the other one! This knife is beveled on both sides, has a 15 degree angle on it! Let us know if you have any other questions! If you are looking for a single bevel Honesuki, email me at luke@knifewear.com and I&#x27;ll see what I can find for you - Luke
