A honeycomb article has longitudinal channels extending from one face to a second face. A portion of the honeycomb is removed by cutting away a helical slot that depthwise extends from the outer surface of the honeycomb through a majority of the channels and lengthwise extends along the honeycomb channel axis commencing at or near the first face and toward the second face. The helical slot traverses a minimum of one rotation around the honeycomb axis. The honeycomb article can be used in a number of applications including heat exchange, thermal mixing, physical mixing, chemical stripping, and chemical reactions of one or more workstreams entering from one face, or entering in a countercurrent mode from both faces.
