Boning Knife

[tcards]

I need to purchase a boning knife. What is the best deal and brand?

I've been buying nothing but Dexter-Russell lately and have been very happy.

I agree with the above statement. I've had my 6" Dexter-Russell boning knife for about 10 years now. It's not going to win you any beauty pageants but it's a solid knife for the price and the abuse it takes.

Does it keep a good edge?

Victorinox all the way. They have semi-flexible and stiff versions of boning knives mine are 6” but for most all butchery it’s Victronix for me.

I think it does. It's one of my most used knives. It needs to be touched up like any knife overtime but for the abuse it takes it's hard to beat for the price.

Your first decisions would be to choose a flexible or stiff blade, and curved or straight. There are lots of good value in boning knives unless you go for a high end brand. The top is a semi-flexible Victorinox, the bottom one is a stiff Mercer.

Sometimes a fillet knife is a good choice if you like a straight blade.

I have a dalstrong curved boning knife and it is great. Holds a edge for a long time. Easy to sharpen

I'm pretty sure my one and only boning knife is rigid. It was inherited, so I don't know for sure but it definitely seems that way. Curious what the advantage of a semi-flexible boning knife is?
