I.O. Shen 6.7 in (170mm) Boning Knife

This I.O. Shen is longer than most boning knives at 6.7 inches. It can be difficult to find Japanese steel in a Western boning knife shape. The U.S. market tends to use softer steel boning knives requiring regular honing. This is an excellent option for someone who wants better sharpness and edge retention. A unique modified VG10 steel that is tough. I am comfortable recommending this knife for breaking down fish, poultry and meats, removing silver skin, etc. If you are going to be scraping bones for "Frenching" chops and that type of task, go with a softer steel.

    A Japanese twist on our beloved boning knife. This is a specialised tool which outperforms it’s European cousins.

    A stiletto point and a thick blade makes this the only knife choice if you are intent on de-boning your own joints. It has a narrow blade with tapered tip which makes it much easier to work around bones.

    The added bonus of this knife is it is fantastic at filleting! If you prefer to have more control over your cuts and like a more rigid blade – look no further!!

    I.O. Shen knives offer a unique blend of Japanese and Western sensibilities, setting them apart from the traditional Japanese knife. Sure, their Triplex Steel Technology is a marvel, but the design elevates them to another level.
