    The Xinguo Ginsan Tsuchime Honesuki 175mm is a double-bevel stainless steel boning knife best fit for users requiring precision poultry preparation and meat butchery. This Garasuki profile features a triangular shape with a pointed tip designed to manoeuvre around bones, puncture tough tissues, and cut through joints during deboning tasks. The stiff and broad blade excels in precision work without relying on flexibility, supporting agile handling for preparing meat with minimal waste.

    Hitachi Ginsan Silver #3 stainless steel offers the sharpness and fine grain structure of carbon steel while providing corrosion resistance for easier care. Measuring 173mm in edge length with a 43mm heel height, the blade tapers from a 3.1mm spine at the heel to 1.5mm at the tip. Weighing 144g, this knife pairs an octagonal ebony handle featuring triple-metal spacers with its functional geometry. The tsuchime finish distinguishes the exterior surface of this specialized tool intended for detailed breakdown work rather than general chopping.

    Care Instruction
    1. Don't cut hard things! Japanese knives are brittle so bone hacking is a NO NO!
    2. Wash with neutral detergent after use, and wipe dry;
    3. Please don't wash knife with dishwasher, it will damage the wood handle;
    4. Be careful not to leave the knife close to a heat source for a long time;
    5. It is a lot more dangerous to cut with a blunt knife than a sharp knife!
    6. It is best to sharpen a Japanese knife regularly on a waterstone.

    • Steel: Ginsan / Silver #3

      Ginsan steel, also known as Silver 3 or G3 steel, is a type of stainless steel used in high-quality kitchen knives. It is appreciated for its ability to offer the traditional feel and sharpness of carbon steel while providing the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Ginsan steel contains a moderate amount of carbon, chromium, and other alloying elements that ensure a good balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening. This steel is particularly favored for its fine grain structure, which allows for a very sharp edge, and its resistance to rust makes it a popular choice among professional chefs and home cooks who seek the performance of carbon steel without the maintenance challenges. Ginsan steel knives are known for their durability, ease of care, and excellent cutting performance, making them a preferred option for those looking for high-quality stainless steel cutlery.
