There is no doubt that this is stainless, but a The basic differences between stainless and carbon steel are that stainless is not blade steel. In the process of combining the two, a trade-off is made between hardness and corrosion This one was right on the money. The edge remains sharp and the metal will not rust.
A few adjustments can be made to it As I expected, I received about the same amount. It does the job.
Honestly, this is one of the best fillet knives out there! I bought it because a friend had one and it's just what I wanted. Moreover, the price is very reasonable.
Selected User Reviews For 6" German Steel Curved-Blade Boning Knife
In my line of work, I am a meat cutter, which means I work in a cool room for 8-hour days, cutting meat I spend 10 hours a day on the computer. It holds an edge better than the knives from my company. I picked it up because the knives at work don't. Aside from holding an edge, you can also sharpen it as long as it retains that.
This knife is a good knife for the price. It has a hard, no rubbery feel to the handle. You must pay close attention to how you grip the handle when it gets wet, so it is easy to use. I was blown away by the sharpness right out of the box. Having used the knife for quite a while, I tried to refresh the edge with a professional steel I got from my meat cutting job. It is possible to sharpen a knife to an edge as sharp as a razor. The ceramic sharpener was finally the only tool I could use. Once I had a good edge on it, it took a while for it to sink in. Some of the other knives I have cost me about $30 each. In less than a minute I can turn them into razor sharp edges. I wouldn't recommend using this knife for cutting meat, but it will make a good utility knife.
They rust very There is a tendency for the edge to chip easily In general, the steel holds an edge well, but requires frequent sharpening, which I prefer in a boning knife. It may take two or three touch ups to debone a hind quarter, but the edge holds long enough to debone a turkey breast quickly. As a result of the rusting of the steel, I gave it two out of five stars. Although I thought the knife was decent for the price, I will have to pay an extra $10-$20 to get it again There is a 20 percent improvement in.
The quality of this knife is quite good for a cheaper price. I hunt pretty much anything that has a season, and I need quality knives to process my My budget for a knife such as this is limited as a student, so I bought this right when it came in. It was actually perfectly timed, since I was about one quarter of the way through the project. I weighed my buck before boning it. My first task was to wash off the knife and start going through the box - Finish the other three quarters by boning them. The first time I cut it, it was like riding a dream. didn't have a knife sharpener, but it shouldn't have done harm because I could de-horn it It was a pleasure to bone the deer and not have to sharpen the bones. the knife was still quite sharp, not as sharp as it came, because it is a knife, not a magical tool, but for a cheaper option it, when compared to the more expensive options, kept an edge much better than It has a relatively stiff blade that I like, but it is flexible and thin around the tip of the blade to allow it to get into and cut ligaments without When your hands get wet and slippery while cleaning games, the handle is very comfortable and textured to keep them from slipping. In summary, this is a superb knife and I won't need to replace it.
This handle is very comfortable to hold. the blade was not hand honed so it would be nearly as sharp as possible, but I should be able to achieve There are no flexes or bends. You may have to spend more to get a good one if you want one that's flexible. Since I don't use this type of knife often, I chose the one with good reviews at the lowest price. The product looks like it will last a long time It is, according to a meat cutter who uses one regularly. Even if the blade had a little flex I would have given it 5 stars, but the description did not specify this. The product is made in China, as expected.
However, the handles should be wrapped with something other than leather Dry, they are slippery, but when wet they are even more slippery. As soon as the knives were opened, they were extremely sharp and held an edge for up to two hours when cutting through Keeping an edge when cutting meat is fairly easy, but you have to resharpen until it is sharp again.
It slices and dices with ease, from brisket to fish, everything can be cut quickly and easily. If you want a fancy name, you can spend more, but this blade will do what it needs to do just as well as any other.
Having used this knife for quite some time, I know what it can do. It is nice to have blade steel in such a shape and size. I am getting used to the handle, but the finger guard area is still a bit strange. I would say $5-$7 overall In terms of value, it can't be beat. I wanted this one instead of the Victorinox version that costs 5 times as much.
