Misono 440 Honesuki 145mm (5.7")

Description The Misono 440 series was created after years of consultation and fine-tuning with professional chefs. Crafted from 16 Chrome Molybdenum steel and sub-zero treated to increase edge-retention, durability and rust resistance. These knives are easy to maintain and sharpen easily. They are finished with comfortable, easy-to-grip, water-resistant wood handles and are center balanced to not tire your hand even after long hours of use. Why we love them:  This line has the same beautiful fit and finish that Misono is known for, plus great edge retention and easy to sharpen.
