A razor-sharp, rigid boning knife. The Shun has added a rigid boning/fillet knife to the Premier series. As you would expect, this beautiful knife is the right tool for two key kitchen choresboning and filleting. When boning, the narrow, sharp, curved blade gets in close to the bone, making it easy to separate meat from bone. Shun’s extremely sharp edge even cuts through fibrous material with ease. Its perfect for trimming the silver skin from a tenderloin or roast or even making your own cutlets. The narrow blade reduces the drag as you cut against the meat, so cutting is fast and easy. When it comes to filleting fish, the blade’s 6-in. length is just right to glide through the body of the fish, quickly removing bones and skin. The contoured Premier handle provides a secure grip for excellent control. – Curved, rigid blade gets in close and offers controlled cutting- Hand-sharpened 16 double-bevel blade (32 comprehensive)- Steel: Proprietary VG-MAX cutting core, 34 layers each side (68 total) stainless Damascus cladding- Handle: Walnut-colored PakkaWood handles- Blade length: 6 in.
