F. Dick ErgoGrip 5-inch Semi-Flexible Boning Knife

Semi-flexible blades sit between the stiff and flexible ErgoGrip boning knives. At 5 inches, this one has the length and give that poultry work calls for, and it separates wings and legs and then fillets the breast meat from the keel bone.

A semi-flex blade bends enough to follow the curve of a carcass but keeps enough spine to push through a joint. That balance makes it a sensible first boning knife for a processor or a home butcher who handles chicken, duck and rabbit and does not want to switch knives between tasks.

Its 5-inch length keeps the tip within easy reach of the fingers, which helps when cutting the small joints of a wing or a rabbit leg.

For whole turkeys or larger cuts, the 6-inch semi-flexible boning knife adds an inch of reach. If the work leans toward joints and cartilage, a stiff blade such as the 5-inch curved stiff boning knife is the better tool, and for skinning and silver skin the 5-inch curved flexible boning knife bends further.

    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

    Hone the edge on a steel through the shift rather than waiting for it to go dull. Our best-selling steel overall is the EuroCut 12-inch Round Regular Cut Steel; serious professionals who want a finer finish choose the Dickoron Micro 12-inch Oval Super Fine Cut Steel. A steady angle somewhere between 15 and 25 degrees is fine. Our guide to honing steels walks through the 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.
