Know before you buy
The upward-curving blade allows you to maneuver closely around bones and joints with minimal resistance. This shape is specifically engineered to make separating meat from bone and skinning fish much more fluid than a straight-edged knife.
The blade is designed with a high degree of flexibility, which is essential for delicate tasks like filleting fish or removing silver skin from meat. This flexibility allows the knife to follow the contours of the product without tearing the flesh.
No, this knife is designed for precision work, such as deboning, trimming, and filleting. Using a flexible boning knife to cut through hard bone can damage the blade; a heavy-duty cleaver is better suited for those tasks.
While the 1.4116 stainless carbon alloy is highly resistant to stains and corrosion, it is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the edge and handle integrity, always hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use.
The steel used in the Pro Series is known for being easy to resharpen. With regular use of a honing steel to realign the edge, you should only need to perform a full sharpening on a whetstone occasionally.
