The KC-734 is a honesuki-maru which features a AUS-8 stainless steel blade and a wood handle that has a welded stainless steel bolster. It belongs to the Kanetsune Granshe SX series. Japanese honesuki-maru knives are compact beauties. Unlike the honesuki-kaku knives, which arere most perfect for filleting poultry due to the perfected heel that cuts through cartilage, these do not have that heel. They are also sufficient for these purposes, but are most suited to meats other than poultry.

About the Granshe SX Series:


Granshe SX-series knives are created with AUS-8 stainless steel blades. The added molybdenum and vanadium give this line a greater rust resistance and hardness, providing excellent edge retention to HRC 57-58. The basic and simple handles offer excellent grip and hold up well to everyday use. The professional full-tang construction with welded bolster is sure to stand up to anything you can put it to. Proudly made in Seki city, Japan.
