After hearing Jon warn off using deba's for chicken, chipping my own yanagi on crispy salmon skin, hearing others warn about single bevel slicers on crusty meats, I am curious about single bevel Honesuki.

Photo's make the angle of he edge look a bit more obtuse than my deba, and a lot more obtuse than my usuba, but is there anything special to keep in mind for sharpening and use? Is this a common style of knife in japan or a newer project made popular by these forums?
 
Honesuki have been around as long as I can remember at least. I would say sharpen like any single bevel knife with a hamaguriba edge.

This was posted recently in another thread (sorry can't recall poster's handle). One of the better vids I've seen using a honesuki. Also check out ThEoRy's vids. Just do a search on YouTube and there are others. As I understand it, even though honesuki is a single bevel knife, it's considered a western style (know idea why, or if this is just heresy). Most commonly they have a western handle - not too often you seen one with wa-handle.
