Garasuki Knife

The Garasuki is a Japanese boning knife for precisely butchering poultry. Crafted with a thick, durable blade, it resists chipping even upon contact with bone. Compared to standard boning knives, the Garasuki is heavier and more robust, making it ideal for breaking down whole chickens with ease. Its pointed tip lets it slip nimbly into joints, and its heavily asymmetrical grind lets it ride along the cartilage and bone to get as much meat off as possible. This is considered a Western-style knife in Japan and will typically not be seen in true single-bevel variants, though they do exist. Both sides of this knife should be sharpened, however the non-dominant side of the knife will be sharpened nearly flat.
