      Honesuki knife for boning

      Honesuki knives are nowadays also frequently used as filleting knives for meat and fish. The sharp tip allows even connective tissue and fat to be cut precisely. The rather stiff blades are often ground on one side and the typical blade length is about 150mm. The blade thickness is thicker compared to Japanese utility knives.
