DESCRIPTION
Reach for this when you're filleting a salmon or stripping silverskin off a beef fillet. A 5.5-inch boning knife is short enough to manoeuvre in tight spaces and narrow enough to follow the contours of a joint that a chef knife can't reach without wasting meat.
Flexible Enough for the Work
Boning is detail work. The blade needs to get close to the bone, follow the joint, and strip cleanly without tearing. The 67-layer Damascus wraps a 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless core vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. It takes a fine, strong edge that stays sharp through the connective tissue and fat that dulls softer blades mid-job.
Figured Sycamore, Full-Tang Build
The figured sycamore handle gives a secure grip even when your hands are wet from rinsing the fish. Dense hardwood with a rippled grain that looks different on each piece, it doesn't swell or slip. Full-tang construction keeps the knife balanced back in the hand where you want the weight when you're working at odd angles around a carcass.

Control Around Bone And Joint
The Master Series boning knife is built for the close, precise work butchers do every day. A narrow 5.5" (155mm) blade tracks the line of the bone, slips into joints, and separates meat from cartilage with minimal waste. At 148g it stays nimble through repetitive work. Damascus blade, sycamore handle, full-tang spine.
In stock. Ships from Australia. Hand-wash only.
Why This Blade
Narrow, Pointed, Precise
A short narrow blade is what separates a boning knife from a chef's knife. The fine point gets into tight joints and under skin; the slim profile lets you ride the bone and follow contours that a wide blade can't reach. Ground to 15 degrees per side for a keen edge that parts meat cleanly, and light enough at 148g to stay controlled through a full break-down.

The Steel
67-Layer Damascus, Hardened Core
A 10Cr15CoMoV cutting core is folded between 67 layers of Damascus steel, clad in 316/316L stainless (33 layers each side). Vacuum heat treatment and a deep-freeze cycle bring it to 60±2 HRC, hard enough to hold a working edge through joints and connective tissue, with the corrosion resistance to handle raw protein and washdown.

Hand-wash only — not dishwasher safe.
In The Hand
Figured Sycamore, Full Tang
The handle is figured sycamore wood set on a full-tang spine and locked with a mosaic brass rivet, so the steel runs the length of the knife for balance and durability. The grip is shaped for control during repetitive cutting. Hand wash and dry only.

FAQs
Is this a real Damascus blade?
Yes. The blade is 67 layers of Damascus steel folded around a 10Cr15CoMoV cutting core, clad with 316/316L stainless. The pattern is forged into the steel, not etched on.
How hard is the steel?
60±2 HRC. It's brought there by vacuum heat treatment and a deep-freeze cycle, which gives good edge retention while staying tough enough for working through joints.
What edge angle is it sharpened to?
15 degrees per side — a keen angle that parts meat and cartilage cleanly. Maintain it with a whetstone or honing rod.
Is it full tang?
Yes. The steel runs the full length of the handle and is secured with a mosaic brass rivet, set into a figured sycamore wood handle.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. Hand wash and dry the blade and handle to protect the steel and the wood.
What is it best used for?
Deboning and breaking down protein — pork, poultry and fish. The narrow blade and fine point follow the bone, open joints and trim close with minimal waste.
What warranty does it carry?
A lifetime warranty direct from the brand, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee through xinzuo.com.au.
