5" Honesuki - Shun Kanso
13cm (5″) Honesuki [Japanese Boning Knife]
PERFECT POULTRY KNIFE –
The Shun Kanso Honesuki is a Japanese-style boning knife. The 5-inch blade with its triangular shape is perfect for maneuvering around bones and between joints. Once you try it, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the complete control you gain as you process your poultry and other proteins. Its razor-sharp, 16° cutting edge makes removing breasts from bone easy and it cuts joint cartilage almost like butter. Scoring and trimming is a breeze, too—and you can use the blade’s spine for scraping. Once you’ve used this Japanese boning knife, you’ll reach for it again and again.
SHUN KANSO LINE—
Kanso means “simplicity,” but simplicity that is achieved by eliminating the non-essential. Influenced by a design principle based on the Zen philosophy of simplicity, the Shun Kanso collection was designed with only the indispensable elements in mind. Plainly put: with these knives, nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous. In Kanso, Shun took away anything that does not matter and kept everything that does—high-performance steel, razor-sharp edge, perfect balance, and precision cutting control. The steel is Japanese AUS10A, a highly refined, high-carbon, vanadium stainless steel that takes a razor-sharp edge and holds it longer. Kanso’s Heritage finish hides scratches and gives Kanso a rustic look that just improves with age. The handle is made of tagayasan wood, sometimes known as “iron sword wood.” Full-tang construction provides strength, balance, and easy cutting control. Like all Shun knives, Kanso is sharpened to a 16° cutting angle each side to cut cleanly and help preserve food’s freshness and best taste.
If you have admired the simple lines and effortless grace of Japanese design, you have experienced kanso.
