Hone-Kiri/Hamo-Kiri Knife

Hamogiri is specifically used for filleting Hamo, “Japanese Daggertooth pike conger”. This knife is also called Hone-kiri and literally translates to Bone Cutting.
The knife is wide and long enough to cut the small bones by the weight of the knife under a technique called “Honekiri” that leaves the skin connected. The knife crushes the fish’s long hard bones by making 1mm cuts in the flesh without cutting the skin underneath. If this procedure is not done carefully and well, the meat becomes minced, and the quality of the fish and flavor is ruined.
