Unlike the round wa-handles typical of Japanese knives, this example features a western-style full-tang wood handle secured with a brass rivet, making it immediately comfortable for cooks trained on European knives. The scattered dark patina on the blade face is the hallmark of authentic Nihonko carbon steel - a steel that takes an extraordinarily sharp edge and rewards proper care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after use to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly on a fine whetstone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on a Japanese water stone (1000\/3000 grit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic rack or in a knife roll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a Knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55485839573283,"sku":"VTG-MINAMOTO-SUKEHISA-HONESUKI-150-2234","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/5E113A58-2472-448B-B7CB-BBDFC5D2850B.jpg?v=1789168841","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-minamoto-sukehisa-honesuki-knife-150mm-2234","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
