At 58-60 HRC it is a practical, easy-to-maintain steel that holds a working edge through daily prep and sharpens readily on Japanese water stones. The honesuki maru is a rounded variation of the traditional honesuki - where the standard honesuki has a triangular profile, the maru features a more curved blade that follows the contours of joints and bones more naturally. At 150mm it is ideal for breaking down poultry, trimming meat, and any boning work that benefits from a more flexible, curved approach.
