Fusion Series
The Fusion Design Series is our first structured knife line, focused on blending the best elements of Western and Japanese design. The series will include three core profiles: the Gyuto (chef’s knife), the Honesuki (utility/petty knife), and the Shotoh (paring knife). Together, these form the foundation of a well-rounded kitchen set for both professionals and home cooks.
The Honesuke
This 6" (150mm) Honesuke is handmade from stainless Damascus steel forged by Damasteel in Sweden, using their Sparse Twist pattern. The blade offers versatility and performance for a wide range of kitchen tasks.
The tapered octagonal handle is made from locally sourced figured walnut, harvested from Zack’s historic farm in Charlottesville. It’s fitted with solid brass hardware and bolsters for strength and balance.
Note: The saddle leather sheath is designed for travel and short-term storage only.

About the Fusion Design
The Fusion Design knife profile was developed by Monolith in 2020 and debuted at the Damasteel Chef Invitational in Fall 2021. The term “Fusion” reflects our aim to blend the best of Eastern and Western knife traditions into one thoughtful design.
Japanese knives are known for their precision: thin blades, long flat edges, low tips, and lightweight octagonal handles. Western knives—especially those in the Sabatier tradition—are prized for their durability, comfort, and long-term use. Our Fusion Design brings these two philosophies together in a blade that balances performance with longevity.
Each knife in the Fusion Series reflects this balance through its profile, steel, and handle design. It’s our answer to what a modern kitchen knife be.
Like all Monolith Knives, Fusion blades are warrantied for life.
All our blades are backed by a lifetime warranty. Any defects in materials or craftsmanship will be repaired or replaced free of charge, including return shipping. Damage from use will be evaluated case-by-case.
Never put your Monolith knife in the dishwasher.
