FAQs
Is this knife flexible or stiff?
This model features a flexible blade, which is ideal for maneuvering around bones and cartilage during deboning.
What is the blade length?
The blade is 15.2cm (6 inches) long.
Can I use this for chopping vegetables?
While it can cut vegetables, this knife is specifically designed for boning and trimming meat; a chef's knife would be more appropriate for heavy chopping tasks.
What material is the handle made from?
The handle is made from Fibrox, a durable, non-slip thermoplastic elastomer known for its grip and hygiene properties.
Does it come with a sheath?
No, the knife typically arrives in standard retail packaging without a storage sheath.
Troubleshooting
The knife feels dull after heavy use
Use a quality honing steel at a 20-degree angle to realign the edge. If the blade remains dull, it may require professional sharpening or the use of a whetstone.
Rust spots appearing on the blade
While high carbon stainless steel is highly corrosion-resistant, it can still spot if left wet. Scrub gently with a non-abrasive sponge, dry immediately, and avoid soaking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This knife arrives sharp and ready for immediate use out of the packaging. No initial sharpening is required. To maintain the integrity of the blade:
- Maintenance: Although the knife is dishwasher safe, frequent high-heat cycles can accelerate edge dulling. Hand washing with mild soap and drying immediately is the best way to extend the life of the blade.
- Storage: Store in a knife block, magnetic strip, or blade guard. Avoid tossing the knife into a drawer with other metal tools, as this will quickly damage the fine edge.
- Honing: Regularly use a honing steel before or after each use to realign the edge and maintain the knife's peak cutting performance.
- Cutting Surfaces: Always use the knife on wood, rubber, or plastic cutting boards. Never cut on glass, stone, or ceramic surfaces, as these will cause immediate and significant damage to the high carbon steel edge.
