{"product_id":"hono-series-knife-set","title":"Hono Series Knife Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hono Series is a matched cutlery collection forged to one standard and handmade in Seki, Japan, so you assemble a kitchen that works as a system instead of a drawer of mismatched blades. Every knife shares the same construction: a VG-10 cutting core wrapped in 67-layer suminagashi Damascus, ground with a granton edge and hardened to 60 ±2 HRC for a keen, durable edge that releases food cleanly. Each is finished with a military-grade G10 Western handle and a mosaic pin, balanced for control through long prep sessions. Build the set around how you actually cook: the Gyuto is the daily workhorse chef's knife for proteins and general prep; the Kiritsuke is a chef-and-slicer hybrid with a K-tip for precise tip work and clean slicing; the Santoku is the nimble everyday all-purpose knife across meat, fish and vegetables; the Nakiri is the vegetable specialist whose tall, flat edge falls straight through onions, cabbage and squash; and the Cleaver brings a tall blade for powering through root vegetables, squash and other dense produce. Choose the pieces you reach for most, in one consistent build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne matched forge: every knife shares a VG-10 cutting core wrapped in 67-layer suminagashi Damascus, hardened to 60 ±2 HRC for a keen, durable edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGranton edge across the set creates air pockets along the blade that reduce drag and release slices cleanly from the steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMilitary-grade G10 Western handles with a mosaic pin, built for grip security and balanced control through extended prep\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGyuto and Kiritsuke cover daily chef work and precision slicing; the Kiritsuke K-tip handles fine tip tasks and long, clean cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSantoku, Nakiri and Cleaver round out the build: a nimble all-rounder, a vegetable specialist, and a tall blade for slicing and chopping through squash, root vegetables and dense produce\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuild-your-set format lets you select the exact blades for your cooking, all in one consistent construction and finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose your blades and build a matched Hono Series kitchen from a single forge.
