Know before you buy
The Mac Knife Japanese Series Boning Knife features a thin, high-carbon stainless steel blade that offers enough flexibility for precise filleting, while remaining rigid enough to handle tougher tasks like separating meat from bone.
While specifically designed for boning and filleting, its 6-inch length and sharp edge make it a versatile tool for trimming fat, skinning fish, or performing detailed prep work that requires more control than a standard chef's knife.
The double bevel edge makes this knife suitable for both right- and left-handed users. It provides a balanced, symmetrical cut that is generally easier to maintain and sharpen compared to single-bevel Japanese blades.
To maintain the high-carbon stainless steel edge, we recommend hand washing and drying the knife immediately after use. Regular honing with a fine-grit honing rod will keep the blade sharp, and it should be professionally sharpened or used with a whetstone when the edge eventually dulls.
Yes, the ergonomic composite handle is designed to provide a secure, comfortable grip even when your hands are wet. Its lightweight construction helps reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks like breaking down a whole chicken.
