Apex Line — Honesuke

The Apex Line is where craft meets consistency. We bring the design principles, materials and details from our custom work into into a small-batch knife kitchen knife. Each knife is forged, thinned, and sharpened by hand.

The Honesuke is the Japanese petty knife, with a 6-inch blade it is an extremely useful mid-sized knife that excels in boning or more detailed prep tasks. 

Each blade is made from Takefu Aogami Super steel, clad in stainless steel for protection, with a forged distal taper. Handles combine a CNC-machined brass ferrule with stabilized, locally sourced walnut for balance, durability, and timeless feel.

Care Note

Aogami Super is a high-carbon steel. It will naturally develop a patina with use. As with all our knives, hand-wash and dry promptly after each use, and avoid leaving it wet or in contact with acidic foods for long periods. With simple care, the blade will last a lifetime.
