F. Dick ErgoGrip 5-inch Curved Stiff Boning Knife, Blue Handle

Separating wings and legs on chicken and other poultry is the job this 5-inch curved stiff blade was shaped for. Its upswept tip slips into the joint, and its rigid spine lets the cutter lever the joint apart without the blade bending.

The thumb rest on the ErgoGrip handle gives the cutter a place to press when the knife is held like a dagger, which is how professional meat cutters hold a boning knife for most of a shift. The curve adds edge length for drawing cuts along the thigh and keel, so the knife works quickly on a poultry line.

Five inches is short enough to turn inside a chicken carcass and long enough to free the thigh in a single pull.

The same blade is sold with a black handle and a red handle for plants that assign handle colors to stations or to raw and cooked product. For larger birds and pork, the 6-inch curved stiff boning knife gives more reach.

    ErgoGrip Boning Knives Compared

    A stiff blade pushes through joints and dense meat; a flexible blade bends to follow the bone. Curved blades give a longer edge for drawing cuts, and straight blades track flat bones. Our kitchen knife shapes guide shows the boning profiles side by side.

    Tips for Best Results

    A few passes on a steel keep this edge aligned between sharpenings. Hold any consistent angle from 15 to 25 degrees. For a plant or shop, the EuroCut 12-inch Round Regular Cut Steel is our best-selling steel; the Dickoron Micro 12-inch Oval Super Fine Cut Steel gives a finer edge. See our honing steel guide for technique.


    Care

    Wash by hand in warm water with a mild detergent, rinse, and dry the knife before putting it away. Store it in a scabbard, sheath or blade guard so the edge does not knock against other tools.
