Mercer Genesis 6-inch Stiff Boning Knife

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.

Care

Wash by hand after each use with warm water and a mild soap, then dry with a soft towel. Mercer advises against the dishwasher: heat can break down the handle, and caustic detergent can stain and pit the blade.
Do not leave the knife soaking. If chlorine or bleach touches the blade, rinse it off at once.
Avoid long contact with aluminum pans or a stainless steel sink, and do not leave the knife standing in condiments held in metal pans. Prolonged contact can cause pitting.
Store the knife in a block, on a magnetic bar or in a knife guard.
