The Misono UX10 Stainless Steel Honesuki is a traditional Japanese style poultry boning knife. Features a stout blade with a double-bevel edge and a stiff, pointed tip. The thick stiff blade has enough backbone to drive the knife through chicken joints or small fish bones. The pointed tip allows you to remove meat around bones. Misono is one of the leading Japanese knife companies in Seki, Japan. Although established in 1935, Misono has over 800 years of blade smith history and traditions. The production process is very similar to that of traditional Japanese style knives, as each knife is hand-crafted. Skilled craftsmen create the finest cutlery by traditional techniques combined with the latest modern technologies. Misono is Japan's oldest Western-style knife maker, ensuring long lasting edge retention for professional use.
