This is a compact 140mm single bevel Honesuki, purpose-built for precise poultry butchery and joint work. The blade has been restored and sharpened to professional standards, with the classic triangular profile that excels at getting into joints and along bones. The stamp and handle mark confirm Kanetsune’s workshop in Seki, Gifu Prefecture – a region famed for its knife production. At this smaller size, the knife is agile and efficient for cooks who want accuracy in their poultry prep, while retaining the durability expected from a single bevel blade.
