About Haruyuki Goma - Haruyuki knives are beloved among professionals and home cooks alike for their reliable, high-performance blades. they’re perfect for folks buying their first Japanese knife, and the performance is impressive enough for knife nerds like me to get a thrill from using it!
The Haruyuki Goma is one we’ve had since the early days of Knifewear, and it continues to be a staff and customer favourite. The stainless steel blade is made from a material called VG10, which is super sharp and easy to care for. This stunning blade sports a hammered ‘tsuchime’ finish that transitions to a polished bevel with layers of damascus steel. The effect is like waves crashing on a rocky beach under the moonlight.
Haruyuki knives are made in a way that combines ancient Japanese tradition with efficient modern technology: blades are forged by machine for unparalleled precision, consistency, and affordability. Skilled artisans complete each step lovingly, from polishing and sharpening the blade to affixing its handle.
About the shape: The Honesuki is a Japanese-style boning knife. Initially designed for poultry and small animals like rabbits, it also excels at much larger butchering and fish filleting work. It has a relatively thick heel for scraping meat from bones and a thinner tip for precise cuts. You don't want to force this knife through bone, but it's perfect for cutting through cartilage and tendons.

"I initially bought this knife for its intended purpose, to debone a chicken. I had taken the Knifewear course and liked the sturdiness of this knife shape. But now it has become the first knife I grab when doing meal prep: it's a real workhouse due to the thicker heavier blade. I'm very pleased with my purchase. I still haven't used it to debone a chicken!"
"Very happy with my knives…almost complete!"
"Excellent build and finish. Has a good solid weight, very sharp and good size"
"I love my new knife! However, I’d like to comment on Knifewear as a company. No, I don’t work for you and I’ve never been to Canada. I found you via your awesome videos. They pale in comparison to your old fashioned customer service and quick delivery to the US. I guess they’re all one and the same really! I was a chef in a former life, and your passion has renewed mine. I have Parkinson’s, and you all have fostered a remewedlove of being in the kitchen! I am floored, Thank you! It seems sometimes as if online stores have lost their humanity. Because they have. But I feel like I know a little bit about your staff, and the people who make the products you sell. And purchasing an heirloom kind of knife requires that. I live in the middle of the US so I couldn’t get to one of your stores. But this transaction was every bit as satisfying. Thank you. I am a customer for as long as you keep the doors open. And please, keep making those great videos."
"I went in to replace a knife that I had a love/hate relationship with. I asked for some expert advice and, among some other very beautiful knives, the Haruyuki Goma Honesuki 150mm was recommended. I need something to cut chicken off the bone without worries of chips, sharp enough to plough through loads of kitchen prep (I spend my life in the kitchen cooking for four very hungry people), one that doesn’t rust, and one that I don’t have to panic when one of my teens uses it. It is sharp, precise, and is comfortable in the hand; all round a wonderful companion for my Haruyuki Goma Petty 80mm."
"First time owning a honesuki. It does the job done and keeps the edge sharp even done dealing with bones"
"Very sharp and durable"
"Absolutely love this knife! Beautiful craftsmanship & design. Feels good in the hand and it’s not fussy to take care of. Great purchase!"
"Love this knife. Its western type handle fits my hand so well. It looks great too."
"Very sharp."
