F. Dick ErgoGrip 5-inch Straight Stiff Boning Knife

Deer hunters who remove the backstrap themselves want a blade that stays straight while it runs along the spine, and this 5-inch stiff boning knife does that job well. The same stiffness helps on pork shoulders, beef chuck and any cut where the knife has to push through connective tissue.

With no flex, the blade goes where the hand points it. That control makes clean separations along seams and around the hip and shoulder joints, and it lets the tip pop a joint without folding. The straight edge suits flat bones and long, even cuts.

On a deer, run the tip down both sides of the spine, then lift the loin away with long strokes against the ribs.

For tighter work on birds, the 4-inch straight stiff boning knife is quicker in the hand. For longer seams on a whole loin, the 6-inch straight stiff boning knife adds reach. Cutters who prefer an upswept tip for poultry choose the 5-inch curved stiff model instead.

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.
