Tools and Hardware Reviews of Forschner / Victorinox 5" Rosewood Handle Curved Boning Knife, Semi-Stiff, Model 40016
Customer Review: Best Boning Knife EVER
Summary: 5 Stars
I've gone through two 5" Forschners in the last few months since becoming a butcher and I have to say that I have never used a knife that took an edge faster and stayed sharp under abuse for so long.
The width of the blade is perfect for getting into most places on beef and pigs, though it might be a bit wide for lamb. The length of the blade allows me to feel bones and control the tip much better than any of the longer bladed knives which feel too far out there to really have the same kind of power and sensitivity. I like the rosewood handle better than the fibrox because, once you scrub the finish off the handles with a green cleaning pad, it does a better job soaking up fat and keeping a good gripping surface that would otherwise make the plastic models slick.
I also use this knife to fillet large fish like salmon and striped bass and while it could be a little more flexible, it does a very nice job on fish.
All-in-all it's a perfect knife for a person that is only going to have one boning/fillet knife.
Description of Forschner / Victorinox 5" Rosewood Handle Curved Boning Knife, Semi-Stiff, Model 40016
The R.H. Forschner collection has grown in size and stature since its name was first carved in steel in 1855. Historically a premier choice of culinary professionals, it is still preferred by professionals today. Renowned for its extremely sharp, Swiss made, steel blades from Victorinox, R.H. Forschner provides professionals in food processing and preparation with superior quality, value-priced cutlery that enhances performance and increases productivity. They are manufactured in Switzerland. The renowned rosewood handles feature a carved handle design with the unique beauty of natural rosewood and are extra durable. The fibrox handles feature a non slip, ergonomic design and are NSF approved. The blades feature a high-carbon no stain steel with the unique Victorinox polished surface and a taper ground edge. The largest offering of boning shapes and styles in the entire industry. Did You Know: Use a narrow boning knife on ribs and chops to cut easily through bone and cartilage. Use a wide boning knife for chicken and pork. Use a curved boning knife for a better working angle when cutting close to and around the bone. A Granton edge, or "kullenschiff" edge, has hollowed out grooves on the sides of the blade. These grooves fill with the fat and juices of the product being sliced, which allows for thin, even cuts without tearing or shredding the meat.Boning & Fillet Knives
