F. Dick ExpertGrip 2K 5-inch Curved Semi-Flexible Boning Knife

Removing chicken bones is where this 5-inch semi-flexible ExpertGrip 2K knife does its best work. The curved blade gives a little as it follows the keel and thigh, then springs back, so the cut stays clean and close.

Semi-flex is the middle ground in boning blades. It has enough give to follow a rounded bone and enough spine to cut a joint, which suits lines where one knife handles every cut on the bird. The soft-shell handle keeps a secure grip when hands are wet, and its open shape fits most hand sizes.

At 5 inches, the tip stays close to the fingers for the short cuts around wings and thighs, and the soft shell cushions the palm when the knife is held like a dagger.

The 6-inch ExpertGrip 2K curved semi-flexible boning knife extends the same blade for turkey. A stiffer choice is the 5-inch curved stiff model, and the MasterGrip 5-inch curved semi-flexible boning knife offers a similar blade with an open-ended handle.

    ExpertGrip 2K and MasterGrip Boning Knives

    Both handle lines take the same 56 HRC boning blades as the F. Dick ErgoGrip knives. ExpertGrip 2K pairs a hard core with a soft outer shell; MasterGrip has an open grip end and a reduced finger guard so the hand can shift position.

    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.
