Product Information
Full details
The Victorinox Swibo 16.5cm Boning Knife is an essential tool for professional chefs and serious home cooks who need precision when deboning poultry, filleting fish, or trimming meat. Its standout feature is the ergonomic, high-visibility yellow handle combined with a professional-grade stainless steel blade designed for close-to-the-bone accuracy. While its specialized narrow design excels at butchery and prep, it is less versatile for general-purpose chopping or slicing tasks where a wider blade profile is required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This knife is ready for use immediately upon unboxing. Because it is a professional-grade tool, proper maintenance is key to its longevity. While the knife is dishwasher safe, hand washing is often recommended to preserve the sharpness of the edge over time. When using a dishwasher, ensure the blade is positioned securely and away from other metal objects to prevent dulling. Always store the knife in a designated block, magnetic strip, or edge guard to protect the blade tip and prevent accidental injuries. To maintain the 56-58 Rockwell hardness edge, use a professional sharpening stone or honing steel periodically to realign the edge.
