{"product_id":"5-5-inch-boning-knife-pin-series-x02o-tg","title":"5.5\" Boning Knife - Pin Series (X02O)","description":"\u003cp\u003eReach for this when you're breaking down a whole chicken or trimming a fish fillet. A chef knife is too wide to navigate around a joint and too stiff to follow the contour of a rib cage. The 5.5-inch boning knife's narrow, flexible-feeling blade gets into the tight spaces -- around the thigh socket, along the spine of a fish, down the silver membrane of a rack of lamb -- without tearing the meat you're trying to keep intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNarrow Enough to Follow the Bone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade geometry is the whole point of a boning knife. The tip is sharp enough to pierce directly into a joint without needing to hack at it, and the narrow profile lets you angle and rotate the blade while you're cutting rather than committing to a single straight line. The 10Cr15CoMoV core is vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC, so the edge \u003cem\u003estays\u003c\/em\u003e sharp through a whole bird or a side of salmon without going dull on the connective tissue and membrane that blunts softer steels fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOlive Wood Handle, Control in a Wet Environment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoning work happens with wet hands on wet meat. Natural olive wood is dense and close-grained, which means it doesn't get slippery the way varnished handles can when the grip gets damp. The full-tang construction keeps the knife from feeling front-heavy when you're working at an angle, and the riveted build stays tight with the regular hand-washing that butchery work demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-layer 10Cr15CoMoV composite steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60-62 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5-inch boning knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural olive wood, full-tang, riveted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deboning poultry and fish, trimming silverskin, working around joints and rib cages where a wide blade won't fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pin Series (X02O)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e X02O-TG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Your Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with the Pin Series 8\" Chef Knife for the board work once the protein is broken down, and the 8\" Carving Knife when it's time to slice a whole roast at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Xinzuo Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44212307787827,"sku":"X02O-TG","price":69.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0441\/6563\/files\/55-boning-knife-pin-series-x02o-6460245.jpg?v=1776591011","url":"https:\/\/xinzuo.com.au\/products\/5-5-inch-boning-knife-pin-series-x02o-tg","provider":"Xinzuo Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
