Yoshihiro Hongasumi White Steel #2 Garasuki – Yasuki Shirogami Japanese Poultry Knife with Magnolia Wood Handle
The Yoshihiro Hongasumi White Steel #2 Garasuki is a traditional Japanese poultry knife designed for professional chicken preparation and detailed meat processing.
The blade is made from Yasuki White Steel #2 (Shirogami #2), a high-quality Japanese Carbon Steel widely used for traditional professional knives. It offers excellent sharpness, fine edge control, and easy sharpening, making it highly valued by chefs who appreciate traditional Japanese knife performance.
The Garasuki is a specialized Japanese poultry knife designed for breaking down chicken, separating joints, and performing precise cutting tasks around bones. Unlike many Western-style poultry knives, this model features a traditional Japanese Wa-style handle and single-bevel knife craftsmanship.
The Hongasumi finish represents a traditional Japanese blade construction, combining a hard carbon steel cutting core with softer supporting layers to achieve excellent cutting performance and durability.
The knife features a professional octagonal magnolia wood handle with a buffalo horn bolster, providing a comfortable grip, balanced control, and authentic Japanese craftsmanship.
Available in 150 mm and 180 mm blade lengths, this rare Wa-style Garasuki reflects the traditional knife-making heritage of Sakai, Japan.
