Yoshihiro Hongasumi White Steel #2 Garasuki Traditional Japanese Poultry Boning Knife Magnolia Handle

Introducing the Yoshihiro Garasuki, a heavier and more robust version of the traditional Honesuki, designed specifically for poultry boning. As one of the most sought-after tools among cooks and chefs, the Garasuki combines Japanese craftsmanship with innovative features that set it apart from Western-style boning knives.

Crafted from White Steel #2 with a hardness rating of 63 on the Rockwell scale, the Garasuki showcases exquisite Hongasumi mist patterns on the blade’s surface, a testament to the masterful forging technique employed. The knife's exceptionally sharp pointed tip, reminiscent of a bird's beak, allows for precise strokes that easily separate poultry and meat from the bone, resulting in beautifully clean filets. The design incorporates a thicker spine that tapers toward the tip, providing added heft and balance to effortlessly cut through joints and cartilage during butchering.

Our Yoshihiro Garasuki boning knife is meticulously forged to create a blade that balances strength and elegance. The sturdy heel and graceful arc of the tip make it versatile enough to navigate both delicate filets and heavier cuts with finesse. While carbon steel knives require proper care to prevent rust, they can offer years of reliable performance and enjoyment in the kitchen.

Complemented by a traditional handcrafted Magnolia handle and adorned with a Water Buffalo horn bolster (color may vary), the Garasuki is not only a functional tool but also a stunning addition to any kitchen collection. Elevate your culinary experience with this exceptional knife that embodies the essence of Japanese craftsmanship and ingenuity.
