F. Dick ErgoGrip 6-inch Curved Flexible Boning Knife, Black Handle

This black-handled 6-inch flexible boning knife fills the same role as F. Dick’s standard version for kitchens and plants that reserve black for a particular product or station. Chicken breakdown is where it does its best work, cutting wings and legs repeatedly through a long shift.

The curved blade bends under pressure, which lets it trace the keel and thigh bones closely and lift meat cleanly. It is nimble enough to fillet a fish when the station calls for it. A dark handle also hides staining that light colors show, which some home butchers prefer.

The 6-inch length gives one-pass cuts along a pork loin or a lamb leg when the station moves on from poultry.

If color is not a requirement, the standard 6-inch curved flexible boning knife carries the same blade. For more backbone, the 6-inch semi-flexible boning knife or 6-inch curved stiff boning knife gives up some flex in exchange for control at the joints. Our kitchen knife shapes guide explains the difference.

    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.
