The technique was developed to improve the strength and sharpness of the swords. Honyaki are forged from high carbon steels using a variable hardening technique that involves the application of a special clay to the spine of the blade before it is quenched. This process leaves the blade with a soft, resilient spine, a hamon (or temper line), and hard, sharp edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHonyaki kitchen knives are highly sort after by collectors and enthusiasts due to the exceptional beauty of the hamon and because of the high level of skill required to produce these knives. Even the most talented of blacksmith will have up to 30% of their blades fail. It is for this reason that we are only able to produce the Birch and Bevel Honyaki Gyuto series in the smallest of quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOur Honyaki Gyuto's are forged with a tapered spine and ground Walkschliff, a grinding technique that is done by hand and requires a huge amount of skill. The Walkschliff grind is characterized by the thickest part of the blade being situated bellow the spine. So, the spine is thinner than the overall blade. This oval shape provides a high level of stability, improved cutting performance and an extremely thin and finely ground cutting edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Birch \u0026 Bevel","offers":[{"title":"230mm \/ Masur Birch","offer_id":43797711192329,"sku":"MC-74-586","price":1957.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250mm \/ Masur Birch","offer_id":43797711225097,"sku":"MC-74-587","price":1957.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"230mm \/ Bog Oak","offer_id":57113252856073,"sku":null,"price":1957.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"250mm \/ Bog Oak","offer_id":57113252888841,"sku":null,"price":1957.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/7273\/5626\/files\/Honyaki26C3-14.jpg?v=1754644820","url":"https:\/\/moderncooking.com\/en-au\/products\/classic-honyaki-spicy-white","provider":"moderncooking.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
