Mercer Genesis 6-inch Stiff Boning Knife
Breaking down a pork shoulder or seaming a beef round takes a boning knife that holds its line when it meets bone and connective tissue. The Genesis 6-inch Stiff Boning Knife is forged, so the narrow blade has the backbone for that work, and the Santoprene handle keeps a secure grip when the hand is wet or greasy.The pointed tip works into joints and around the hip and shoulder, and the stiff blade trims fat caps and silver skin without bending away from the cut. It is a knife for working around bone, not through it.
Stiff or Flexible?Stiff blades suit beef, pork and larger cuts. For poultry and fish, where the blade should bend along the bone, choose the Genesis 6-inch Flexible Boning Knife. The kitchen knife shapes guide explains boning and fillet knives. Learn More$44.15 -
Mercer Genesis 6-inch Flexible Boning Knife
A flexible boning knife bends to follow the bone, which is what makes clean work of a chicken thigh, a pork loin or a rack of ribs. The Genesis 6-inch Flexible Boning Knife pairs that flex with a forged blade and a Santoprene handle that holds when wet.The narrow blade slides under silver skin on a tenderloin and lifts it off in long strips, and the tip separates a wing or leg at the joint. It is also useful for skinning small fish fillets.
Flexible or Stiff?For beef and larger pork cuts, the Genesis 6-inch Stiff Boning Knife pushes through tissue without bending. For fish, a longer Genesis 7-inch Flexible Fillet Knife does better. The kitchen knife shapes guide explains boning and fillet knives. Learn More$44.15 -
Mercer Genesis 6-inch Chef’s Knife
A 6-inch chef’s knife fills the space between a full-size chef’s knife and a utility knife. The Genesis 6-inch suits a small cutting board, a smaller hand, or quick jobs such as a single onion, a handful of herbs or a chicken breast, without bringing out the larger knife.It is forged like the rest of the Genesis line, so it has more heft than a stamped knife of the same size, and the Santoprene handle holds securely when wet. The shorter blade is easy to control and quick to wash.
6-inch or 8-inch?Choose the 6-inch for small kitchens and quick tasks, and the Genesis 8-inch Short Bolster Chef’s Knife for everyday cooking for a family. The Knife Merchant shapes guide covers chef’s knife lengths in more detail. Learn More$53.85
