The Honesuki/ Petty or Utility
Handmade 6"/150mm Honesuki made of stainless damascus folded by Damasteel of Sweden in Sparse Twist pattern. The tapered octagonal handle is made of locally sourced figured Walnut from Zack's historic farm in Charlottesville and includes brass bolsters and hardware.

About the Fusion Design
The "Fusion Design Series" will concentrate on blending the best of Western and Asian knives. The series will eventually include three main profiles: The Gyuto (chef knife), the Honesuki (petty knife), and the Shotoh (paring knife). We believe these are the most important three knives any chef or home cook needs to start the foundation of a knife collection.

The included sheath is made of saddle leather and should be used for travel only.

    This full tang oyster shucker design is something new we are trying out here at Monolith. It seems in the world of Oyster Shuckers... standing out in the crowd is pretty hard these days. As the saying goes, "if it ain't broke don't fix it!" 

    So... we decided to follow our friends at Town Cutler and try out a design they perfected featuring a full-tang construction. Of course we made some tweaks of our own but we certainly wont be claiming the design on this one, just the quality and craftsmanship! 

    "Full-tang" means that the blade steel runs all the way through the handle for strength, with pins and a small Lanyard hole if you need it. This design is more suited to those folks who prefer to pry their oysters open at the hinge, a bit different than our Chesapeake Shucker, which is designed for bill shucking. The Full Tang Shucker is durable and strong, and will have no problem tackling any oysters you throw at it.

    The Damascus is hand forged from 1084/15n20 carbon, and is available in several different patterns including twist, random, and raindrop. The handles are made from a variety of hardwoods stabilized by K&G in Arizona.

    These shuckers weigh around 7.5 oz

    Blade length is 2.5" at the bevels and overall length is 7.25"

    Please note: Oyster Shuckers can easily rust after sitting left in a bowl of brine or even just in general use. Oysters are creatures from the ocean. They have natural, oceanic salts and fluids in their bodies. Always rinse your oyster shucker off with clean water and wipe it dry before setting it down or storing it. 

    And like all Monolith Knives, never place it in the dishwasher!

    About the Fusion Design
    This knife profile was developed by Monolith in 2020 and first featured at the Damasteel Chef Invitational Fall 2021 show! The term "Fusion Design" refers to the blending of East and West. Many chefs love the quality of Japanese knives. Many have become accustomed to the octagonal handle design and the unique blade profiles with a longer flatter edge, thinner blade and lower tip. Additionally, many cooks and chefs have enjoyed the introduction of Damascus and San Mai as options for their blade steel.
    Japanese knives are known for their legendary performance, while their Western counterparts are more well known for comfort and durability. The French Sabatier has its own deep rooted following throughout the culinary world elite. Typically drop forged and made to stand the test of time, the Western knife profiles of Europe which we still use today have been in use for centuries. We chose to take the best of these two philosophies and blend them into a single design. We think our "Fusion Design" blades are a perfect balance of these two camps.

    Like all Monolith Knives, these blades are warrantied for life. Any repairs for damages will be reviewed on an individual basis. Anything we did wrong will be fixed no matter what, free of charge with return shipping.
