F. Dick 1905 6-inch Flexible Boning Knife

Processors, butchers and fish cutters can all use this 6-inch 1905 boning knife. It has good flex for a forged blade, which lets it trace around joints and bones, and the steel is tough enough to go through chicken joints when cutting wings and thighs.

Flex keeps the edge close to the bone, so less meat is left behind. The 6-inch length breaks down a bird and fillets smaller fish. The ringed handle recalls F. Dick designs from the early 1900s and is sealed to the blade, which keeps it sanitary.

It also trims silver skin from a pork tenderloin and takes the tenderloin off a rack of ribs.

For stiffer boning in a plant or shop, the ErgoGrip 6-inch straight stiff boning knife is built for long shifts. In the kitchen, the 1905 7-inch carving and boning knife handles silver skin, and the Premier Plus 6-inch flexible boning knife offers a modern handle.
