Mercer Culinary Ultimate White, 6 inch Curved Boning Knife

“★★★★★ — This Mercer Culinary boning knife has been excellent. The blade is super sharp and flexible, which makes trimming ribs, chicken, and other meats really smooth and precise. You can see how easily it follows the bone without tearing up the meat. The handle feels secure and comfortable in the hand, even during longer prep sessions, and the knife stays sharp surprisingly well after multiple uses. For the price, the quality is outstanding. If you do any meat prep at home, this is definitely a knife worth adding to your kitchen.”

I purchased this based upon multiple positive reviews from barbecue 'masters'. After using this on a brisket I was going to smoke. Was extremely sharp out of the box. It handled the triming of the brisket easily, both cutting out the excess hard fat and precisely cutting out the membrane while leaving the meat intact below. The narrow and curved blade allowed me to accurately trim the brisket whereas my old knife always seemed to remove as much meat as it did membrane or fat. The handle gets a bit slick as you use it from the grease/fat/juices, but I think that will be the case for any knife like this. The handle feels nice in the hand and is comfortable to use. While I intended to use this only for barbecue, my wife has discovered it and now it is a preferred knife in the kitchen. Be aware, there is another version that looks just like this but with colorful handles. Those are not the same quality. Only this particular knife (with the white blade) is the one recommended on myriad sites and now by myself. I do wish it came in colors other than white, but that is a pretty minor thing (note to manufacturer . . . a red knife would look pretty awesome). Highly recommended (but come on . . . produce this wonderful knife in more colors please)

I bought this knife several years ago and although I own a lot of far more expensive Japanese knives, I find myself using this knife more and more. It is perfect for trimming most any kind of meat, and should also work well on fish. It takes and holds a good edge and is really an essential kitchen tool. Its ergonomics are excellent as well. To top it all off the price cannot be beat. Buy one, you'll love it!

Bought knife set to help process my deer quicker. It was ok sharp and ok staying sharp. Will have to run steel across the blade often.

Used this for trimming beef, works great, sharp, and great price

Very sharp knife! Solid handle and very sturdy blade perfect for boning chicken. Have ran it through the dishwasher many times and it still holds up.

This is what a professional butcher recommended I buy when I asked him. It's so affordable and incredibly good at maintaining an edge and gliding through meat. I wouldn't use this knife on anything beside trimming/cutting meat because that's really what this knife is designed to do. It's the nicest cut I've ever had through a piece of meat, including my fancy Damascus steel chef's knife. The fancy knife is sharper but it isn't the right shape for trimming and the shape is what really matters. The steel quality seems high, but I'm not 100% a certified expert on different grades of steel for culinary purposes. That being said I do have some knowledge of the different qualities of steel since I studied materials science my freshman year and switched to nuclear engineering to finish my bachelor's. From all the materials I've handled by hand in my research, this steel really seems to stand out in its ability to maintain its sharpness and also remain flexible. Whatever alloy they're using, it's not poor quality like most knives I encounter in the home kitchen.

I can't remember ever owning a boning knife but I could kick myself because OMG - it makes my life so much easier! Where have I been?! This knife is very very very sharp. I love it. Just the tiniest flick with it's long pointy tip and you can cut around the bone like a pro! You can also get rid of yucky stuff you don't like on the raw meat too! I don't think I can live without a boning knife ever again.

Sharp light knife for cutting and trimming meats. The steel is hard enough to stay sharp but not so hard to sharpen easily and chip. Important to have a small and thin tip area for this. Couple this with a big butcher knife... great for portioning lovely steaks

Buena retención de filo a buen precio

Hello I used this knife to cut up some steak and it was super sharp and cut through the raw steak like nothing. I got some beef rub with paprika in it on the white handle, I was worried it was going to stain the white plastic handle but It washed right off with a bit of soap and water no problem. and the handle is well engineered and feels great in your hand with excellent grip it also has some raised bumps at the front of the handle that allow for increased grip if you have bloody or greasy hands from cutting raw or cooked meats. I thought the upward curve on the blade was extreme but after using it it works very well and was designed to be that way to be more ergonomic and to reduce hand fatigue when cutting. overall a great knife appears to be well made and of good materials. super sharp, great gip and comfortable to use. I highly recommend this knife and I would buy another Mercer Culinary knife in the future GREAT VALUE FOR THE SMALL COST. GREAT KNIFE.

Good product I’m happy with it

Great value knife
