This means that they are not only limited to a few steel types or grinds, but actually have the opportunity to work on and develop a lot of different knives with different steel types, geometry, grinds and finishes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The Shirasagi series consists of traditional Japanese knives, which means they are only sharpened on the right side, which means that these knives are exclusively intended for the right hand. They are forged in Tosa and sharpened by the highly recognized grinding workshop, Myojin Riki Seisakusho.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe knife is forged in 2 layers (ni-mai) with Aogami-2 (blue 2) as core steel, it is one of the classic Japanese carbon steel types. This means that the knife can rust if care is not taken. These knives have a fairly defining primary edge, which means that the sharpening work takes significantly longer than a normal knife, therefore it makes very good sense to forge them in carbon steel, as it is much easier to sharpen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Honesuki is a Japanese type of boning that is mainly used for poultry, but is certainly not limited to just that. Over the years, this type has also gained traction in many Western kitchens and is now used extensively by many chefs, fellow enthusiasts and amateur chefs worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Hatsukokoro (Tosa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 150mm Honesuki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003erust free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Aogami #2 (Blue #2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Japanese WA stock of walnut and buffalo horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hatsukokoro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40882501550212,"sku":"HK-SG-HON150","price":292.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1399\/products\/DSCF2253.jpg?v=1661982712","url":"https:\/\/foodgear.com\/products\/hatsukokoro-shiragasi-150-mm-honesuki-aogami-2","provider":"FOODGEAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
