F. Dick ErgoGrip 6-inch Straight Stiff Boning Knife

For pork butts, beef chuck and venison loins, a 6-inch straight stiff boning knife gives the reach to follow a seam in one pass and the rigidity to stay on line. Hunters who bone out their own deer use this length to take the backstrap off the spine.

A stiff blade does what the hand tells it. It pushes through fascia and pries at joints, and it holds a flat bone without flexing away. The straight edge keeps contact along the blade bone of a shoulder, and the narrow profile turns easily inside a cut.

On a pork butt, the narrow blade turns around the blade bone and follows it out without tearing the meat around it.

Stepping down to the 5-inch straight stiff boning knife gives more control in tight spots. For poultry, the curved 6-inch stiff boning knife adds edge length, and the 6-inch wide stiff boning knife brings a heavier blade for seaming larger cuts. Flexible options are in the comparison table below.

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.
