The Honetsuki truly shines when it comes to processing meat ingredients - ergo its name "Honetsuki" meaning "Bone-lover" in Japanese. A tall 40mm (1.5inch) heel aggressively tapering to a sharp tip.

A closeup at the Hammer Texture Kurochi detail and the etched engraving on the brass bolster. These motifs are patterns I designed, inspired by Filipino cultural textile motifs. A little something unique from the culture that I grew up with

A closeup at that triple dyed & stabilized Box Elder Burl reminds me of an impressionist painting. Natural tone Box Elder burl + Blues, Violets & reds.

Hybrid butt with clear epoxy resin. Chamfered edges to make sure it's crisp but smooth

Choil shot! rounded smooth for comfort
