こんにちは！A Japanese Boner (Honesuki)

[Snarlingiron]

Ok, so after I got the Work Sharp, everybody in the office had to bring their knives to be sharpened. On of my coworkers brought in a very nice set of Globals an had a Shun Honesuki with a nick in the blade. I sharpened everything for him and admired the Shun. He said they never used it and he wanted me to have it. Wow! This thing is aboot $145.00. It is literally like a razor on a handle. I am surprised at how adept it is at the boning chore, since it is so different in design from western style boners. I have used it to de-bone several bone in pork shoulders and is works remarkably well.

Honesuki:



Just for the jollies, here's a tomato slice made with the honesuki that you literally can read the newspaper through.

I'm admiring your boner

That a "damascus" or folded steel blade? Don't look like it, but I thought those were all made that way.

I bought the Work Sharp KO edition. Sure makes a new edge alot easier. I still use my hand dressers and steel, but when a blade needs WORK... out comes the WS.

On edit..it DOES look a little unwieldy for a boner, but never tried one...

[BIGGLOPEZ]

Nice score, A nice set of knives is on my to get list...

[Fishawn]

Thin blade?

Sweet looking knife!

[Snarlingiron]

It is a thin high carbon steel center with a stainless steel layer on either side.

Thin blade?

Yes, it is, and it is sharpened at 16 degrees. Most western kitchen knives are around 22.

Any flex? Or is it a stiff boner? Pretty large for an asian

[HawgHeaven]

Nice boner.

Never used one of those, and have never seen one. Very. Nice.

No flex. 4 1/2" blade. Clearly you have had more experience..... Nah it's just too easy.

[Richtee]

Nah it's just too easy.

Discretion is indeed the better part of valor.

if you look along the top of the edge rich you can see a wavy line where the next layer of steel starts.

My main meat cutter is a kai shun. And i can't sharpen it to a razor edge with the kit I have.

I'd not buy another one - brittle as all hell. Good knife, but for half the cost you can buy more durable knives that are easier to sharpen.

I did look at those worksharps, too pricey for me at the present. But anything that can get a shun back to factory settings is seriously worth consideration

I think the Geisha Girl would be more fun!!
