Mercer Culinary Ultimate White, 6 Inch Boning Knife

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!

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.

First, this comes with a soft plastic sleeve, which I love. The knife has a good weight a good balance. I thought my previous night was 12 inches but evidently it was 11 because chopping with this one is a new experience. The blade is sharp and I believe it’s a high-quality knife. I would recommend it for someone that wanted a really long knife.

Outstanding for roasts, ham, turkey, chicken this works terrific. Not expensive but very durable, not pretty but very sharp. Value for the money is excellent.

Great little pairing knife I lose them all the time. I think they get thrown away with the fruit sometimes so it's a good thing that they're not too expensive.

Really great knife! Perfect size and very versatile for small cutting jobs and it’s very sharp right out of the box! Very happy! Love the color and the weight is nice for a plastic knife as well.

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)

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

Excellent

Very sharp, sturdy blade and I really like the handle. It is textured for grip and a nice thickness. Seems weird but it helps with hand fatigue and agility.

Buena retención de filo a buen precio

Rust spots all over had the hole set purchased piece by piece sent back no good
