F. Dick ErgoGrip 6-inch Wide Stiff Boning Knife
A wider blade turns a boning knife into something closer to a small butcher knife. This 6-inch ErgoGrip model handles ordinary boning and also breaks down sections of meat, so one knife can cover both tasks at a small shop or a deer camp.The extra width has a practical benefit. A blade loses width each time it is sharpened, and a wide blade can take more sharpening before it becomes too narrow to use. The stiff spine makes it a reliable tool for removing the backstrap from a deer and for seaming a beef round into its muscles.The extra height of the blade also gives the knuckles more clearance from the board during long seaming cuts.For tighter boning around joints, the narrower 6-inch straight stiff boning knife turns more easily. When the work shifts to heavier breaking, the 6-inch ErgoGrip butcher knife is broader still. The comparison table below lists the other ErgoGrip boning blades. Learn More$18.20 -
F. Dick ExpertGrip 2K 5-inch Curved Stiff Boning Knife
High-volume deboning puts constant pressure on the hand, and this 5-inch curved stiff knife pairs a firm poultry blade with F. Dick’s cushioned ExpertGrip 2K handle. It is shaped for opening joints on chicken and turkey and for working around the bones of a pork shoulder.The curve gives more edge in a short blade and an upswept tip that finds the joint. Stiffness lets the cutter lever the joint apart. On the handle, a soft outer shell over a hard core keeps the grip secure through fat and moisture, and the molding leaves no gap between blade and handle where residue could collect. At Knife Merchant we call this a “double pour” handle.Five inches turns quickly inside a bird, which makes it a fit for lines that cut the same joints all day.For a longer reach, the 6-inch ExpertGrip 2K curved stiff boning knife is the next size up. Lines that need some give choose the 5-inch curved semi-flexible model. The MasterGrip 5-inch curved stiff boning knife carries a similar blade on an open-ended handle. Learn More$16.25 -
F. Dick ExpertGrip 2K 5-inch Curved Semi-Flexible Boning Knife
Removing chicken bones is where this 5-inch semi-flexible ExpertGrip 2K knife does its best work. The curved blade gives a little as it follows the keel and thigh, then springs back, so the cut stays clean and close.Semi-flex is the middle ground in boning blades. It has enough give to follow a rounded bone and enough spine to cut a joint, which suits lines where one knife handles every cut on the bird. The soft-shell handle keeps a secure grip when hands are wet, and its open shape fits most hand sizes.At 5 inches, the tip stays close to the fingers for the short cuts around wings and thighs, and the soft shell cushions the palm when the knife is held like a dagger.The 6-inch ExpertGrip 2K curved semi-flexible boning knife extends the same blade for turkey. A stiffer choice is the 5-inch curved stiff model, and the MasterGrip 5-inch curved semi-flexible boning knife offers a similar blade with an open-ended handle. Learn More$16.25 -
F. Dick ExpertGrip 2K 6-inch Straight Stiff Boning Knife
A 6-inch stiff blade on F. Dick’s soft-shell handle suits cutters who bone pork shoulders, beef chucks and whole birds for hours at a time. The length reaches along a seam in one pass, and the stiff spine keeps the cut straight.The ExpertGrip 2K handle has a hard core for control and a softer shell for grip and comfort. Its open shape fits a wide range of hand sizes, so it works when one set of knives serves a whole crew. A straight edge stays in contact on flat bones such as the blade bone and the keel.The extra inch also helps on whole turkeys, where the breast and thigh bones are longer than a 5-inch blade can follow in one pass.The 5-inch ExpertGrip 2K straight stiff boning knife is the shorter option for poultry joints.

F. Dick 1905 AJAX 9-inch Butcher’s Chef’s Knife
The AJAX combines some of the heft of a cleaver with the shape of a chef’s knife, and it is made for heavy meat portioning and high-volume prep. It has a broad blade and a wide, sweeping belly that rocks through a brisket or a stack of cabbage.Weight is what sets it apart from a standard 8-inch chef’s knife.

For lighter everyday work, the 1905 8-inch chef’s knife is quicker in the hand. A different take on the same idea is the Red Spirit AJAX 8-inch chef’s knife. Learn More$127.40 -

F. Dick Micro Serrated Swivel Peeler
Tomatoes, peaches and other soft-skinned produce defeat an ordinary peeler, and this F. Dick swivel peeler has a micro-serrated blade that grips the skin and takes it off thinly. It handles carrots and apples just as well.The swivel head follows the curve of the fruit or vegetable, so it removes an even layer with little waste.

It can also shave thin ribbons of zucchini or hard cheese.Pull the peeler toward you in long, even strokes for the thinnest peel.

F. Dick Red Spirit Hektor 10-inch Granton Edge Scimitar
Named Hektor, this 10-inch Red Spirit scimitar trims fat and sinew, breaks down large cuts and portions steaks, and it slices roasts at the table as well. A granton edge along the blade keeps slices from clinging.Scimitars are a butcher’s tool, and many are made of soft steel that is quick to hone but dulls quickly. The Red Spirit steel should hold its edge longer between honings, which makes it a dependable blade for a long session at the board. The long, upswept curve rolls through a steak in one stroke and leaves a smooth cut face.At a cookout, it doubles as a slicer for tri-tip and smoked turkey breast.For plant and counter work, the ErgoGrip 10-inch scimitar is built around a butcher’s handle. The Hektor is also part of the Red Spirit Pit Master BBQ set, and the F. Dick Scimitar Knife Sheath protects the edge. Our knife shapes guide covers scimitars. Learn More$94.90 -
F. Dick Rapid Steel Action Set with Base
The Rapid Steel Action takes the technique out of honing. Instead of holding an angle on a steel, the cook draws the knife through a slot where spring-loaded rods meet the edge from both sides at once, so burrs come off and the edge is realigned in a few strokes.Because the angle is built in, the Action suits busy kitchens and meat rooms where many people share knives and not everyone has learned to use a steel. It works on all steel types. The set comes with a non-slip base plate with suction cups, so the sharpener stays put on a counter while one hand guides the knife.For meat processing, the Rapid Steel HyperDrill II takes reworked fine cut rods instead. Replacement rods for this unit are the Action Rapid Steel replacement rods. Cooks who prefer a traditional steel can start with the EuroCut 12-inch Round Regular Cut Steel. Learn More$93.60 -
F. Dick Superior 4-inch Paring Knife
This 4-inch Superior paring knife has one of the finest, thinnest edges we sell, which makes it a nimble knife for precise cutting of meat and produce. It handles peeling, trimming and small slicing jobs with control.A thin blade passes through food with little resistance, so it slices radishes paper-thin, trims fat from a chop and cuts clean segments of citrus. The 4-inch length gives a bit more reach than a standard parer while staying easy to use in the hand.The fine edge also suits peeling ginger and slicing garlic thinly. It is a good knife for a cook who does a lot of detailed prep, such as cutting garnishes or trimming vegetables for a plated dish.A close relative is the Superior 4-inch larding and paring knife.
