Apex Line – Honesuke 52100 Carbon

We have four of these knives available, they are prototypes four our new addition to the Apex Line: the honesuke. Monolith Apex Line is where consistency meets craft. Our custom knives will always be the heart of Monolith — singular pieces where we experiment, refine, and push our craft forward — and the Apex Line exists because of that work. It takes the design principles, materials, and details we’ve developed in our customs and brings them into a consistent, reliable knife you can depend on every day. The honesuke is the Japanese petty knife, with a precise and nimble blade that handles everything from proteins to vegetables and anything in between. It’s a versatile all-rounder and easy to grab for any task. Care Note 52100 is a high-carbon steel. It will naturally develop a patina with use. As with all our knives, hand-wash and dry promptly after each use, and avoid leaving it wet or in contact with acidic foods for long periods. With simple care, the blade will last a lifetime.
