Forged in the renowned workshop of Yoshikane Hamono in Sanjo, Niigata, this Japanese boning knife embodies generations of craftsmanship and refined design. Each blade reflects meticulous handwork — from the tapered spine that creates perfect balance and fluid manoeuvrability, to the polished spine and choil that deliver exceptional comfort throughout long preparations. The thicker spine helps disperse pressure evenly when tackling chicken bones, fish cartilage, or tougher cuts, allowing effortless control with reduced hand fatigue.
Forged with an SKD12 steel core, the blade achieves an impressively sharp edge, protected by stainless cladding that reduces maintenance and resists corrosion. Easy to sharpen and trusted by professionals — including Billy's experience as a sharpener and former Yakitori chef — this knife offers outstanding performance and a satisfying feel in hand. Elevate your craft with a hand-forged Japanese boning knife that perfectly balances comfort, control, and durability. A truly hand forged Japanese boning knife that captures the artistry, comfort, and reliability of Sanjo’s rustic craftsmanship.
