Dexter-Russell Sani-Safe 6-inch Wide Boning Knife

Boning out a pork loin or separating a beef chuck into its muscles puts more lateral force on the knife than trimming a chicken does. The extra height of this 6-inch Sani-Safe wide boning knife adds stability for those larger cuts, and Dexter-Russell designed the broader profile for exactly that reason. The wider blade also gives the knuckles more clearance above the board.

The blade takes a sharp edge and stands up to repeated sanitizing without staining. Dexter molds the handle from recycled plastic, and it seals tightly to the blade so meat juices cannot work into the joint. Meat cutters, hunters processing their own deer and home cooks who buy whole cuts all find work for a wide boner, and its robust build also makes it a capable fillet knife for larger fish.

Wide or Narrow Boning Knife?

A narrow blade such as the Sani-Safe 6-inch Narrow Boning Knife fits tighter spaces around joints. For the same wide shape with a wood handle and carbon steel, see the Traditional 6-inch Wide Boning Knife.
