F. Dick ErgoGrip 6-inch Semi-Flexible Boning Knife

Duck, chicken and turkey all break down well with a 6-inch semi-flexible blade, and this ErgoGrip knife handles all three. The extra inch over the 5-inch model helps on a turkey breast and on the longer bones of a leg.

Semi-flex means the blade gives a little when it meets a bone and then springs back. The cutter can follow a curve without the knife wandering, and there is still enough stiffness to cut through a joint. The curved edge is easier to slide along a bone than a straight one and offers more cutting length for each pull.

On a turkey, the longer blade follows the breastbone from end to end and frees each half of the breast in a single pass.

For smaller birds and tight joints, the 5-inch semi-flexible boning knife is quicker. When the work calls for a blade that bends further, such as removing silver skin, choose the 6-inch curved flexible boning knife. The 7-inch semi-flexible boning knife adds length for larger cuts and filleting.

    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.
