Kanetsugu Pro-M Honesuki Knife 145 mm

The Kanetsugu Pro-M Honesuki 145 mm is a small and handy knife with a very strong blade. It is ideal for boning poultry and separating meat from bones. Kanetsugu Pro-M is a series of very well-made and strong kitchen knives, made entirely of high-carbon stainless steel. The blades of these knives are forged entirely from a single piece of AUS-8 steel, which has excellent cutting properties. During the hardening of AUS-8 steel, the Kanetsugu company uses a special heat treatment, the so-called “sub-zero treatment”, during which the blades are cooled instantly to a temperature of -70 C°. Thanks to this process, the blades achieve a high hardness level of 59+/-1 HRC. The finish of the knives, the blade profile, and the handle fit are at a very high level. The handle of this knife is made of dark pakka wood, which has been impregnated and is completely resistant to moisture. The ergonomically profiled handle is extremely comfortable and provides a secure grip, even during long hours of work in the kitchen. The company was founded in 1918 by Matsujiro Kawamura, a descendant of Kanetsugu, a famous maker of samurai swords (1336-1392). Seki Kanetsugu is a manufacturer from the Japanese city of Seki, which is famous for producing kitchen knives.
