F. Dick ErgoGrip 6-inch Wide Stiff Boning Knife

A wider blade turns a boning knife into something closer to a small butcher knife. This 6-inch ErgoGrip model handles ordinary boning and also breaks down sections of meat, so one knife can cover both tasks at a small shop or a deer camp.

The extra width has a practical benefit. A blade loses width each time it is sharpened, and a wide blade can take more sharpening before it becomes too narrow to use. The stiff spine makes it a reliable tool for removing the backstrap from a deer and for seaming a beef round into its muscles.

The extra height of the blade also gives the knuckles more clearance from the board during long seaming cuts.

For tighter boning around joints, the narrower 6-inch straight stiff boning knife turns more easily. When the work shifts to heavier breaking, the 6-inch ErgoGrip butcher knife is broader still. The comparison table below lists the other ErgoGrip boning blades.

    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.
