F. Dick ErgoGrip 5-inch Curved Stiff Boning Knife, Black Handle

Some poultry plants and butcher shops keep black-handled knives for a single station or product, and this is the black version of F. Dick’s 5-inch curved stiff boning knife. The blade matches the blue and red versions exactly.

Its stiff spine holds firm when the knife pries a joint open, and the curved edge gives a long draw for following the thigh bone or freeing breast meat. Held in a reverse grip, the knife lets the thumb rest on the handle take pressure off the wrist through long runs of birds.

Five inches turns easily inside a chicken carcass, and the stiff blade keeps its line when a joint resists.

Color coding is set by each operation, so check the plan before ordering. The blue-handled version and red-handled version are the same knife, and the 6-inch curved stiff boning knife extends the blade for turkeys and pork. Our knife shapes guide covers boning knife profiles in more detail.

    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.
