Through STEELPORT’s proprietary differential heat treatment, American 52100 Carbon Steel achieves an unmatched 65HRC hardness at the blade for exceptional long-lasting sharpness, while maintaining a softer 30HRC spine for lifelong durability. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• The bolster and spine are hand-polished smooth for comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• A Boning Knife is thin with an agile tip, perfect for breaking down or cleaning up meat. This shape is similar to a filet knife, and sometimes referred to as a meat knife or de-boning knife, specially designed for precisely trimming meat from bones, separating ligaments, and removing meat from fat. It should have a safety guard at the bolster which prevents the hand from slipping when maneuvering through tight sections of meat and bone, with potentially greasy or wet hands\/handle. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• The STEELPORT 6\" Boning Knife has a slightly wider blade than average, allowing for more sharpenings and longer blade life (combined with our already longer lasting edge), while still being narrow enough to be nimble and perform fine detailed work. Delivering an heirloom knife requires us to think through its functionality for decades to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• The handle of the STEELPORT 6\" Boning Knife is the same shape and size as the award-winning STEELPORT Chef Knife’s contoured handle. This means it is larger than average for this type of knife, and, along with the wider guard on the bolster, it provides more comfort, safety, and stability. The handle is contoured to accommodate any hand, offering a unique 2\" height at the blade heel for finger clearance. All STEELPORT handles use Oregon Big Leaf Maple Burl, a locally sourced, naturally unique burl wood, stabilized with resin to meet tough kitchen requirements and won’t shrink or swell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Carbon Steel is for those who take pride in keeping their tools at peak performance through basic maintenance. Carbon Steel knives like STEELPORT are not stain or rust resistant. Day to day, it is as simple as remembering to hand wash and dry after each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Hand Wash \u0026amp; Dry: The best way to care for your STEELPORT Carbon Steel Knife is to always rinse and dry it completely after each use. Avoid using aggressive chemicals, leaving it unwashed, or leaving it in water, as these can lead to rust and other damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Occasional Oiling: To keep your knife in top condition, oil it occasionally, especially if it will be stored for an extended period of time. We recommend using Camellia oil or food-grade mineral oil. Cooking oils can also be an option but they can break down and become rancid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Wood Handle Care: Your STEELPORT knife features a resin-stabilized wood handle designed to meet the demands of a busy kitchen, but it still requires some minimal care to keep it looking its best. Treat your wood handle like a wooden cutting board, i.e. avoid letting it soak in water, and rub it down with the handle wax or another food-safe oil or wax mix - once or twice a month.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steelport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46860672205026,"sku":"CTSP0006","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/9213\/4297\/files\/slider-steelport-6-boning.webp?v=1758322784","url":"https:\/\/aakitchenloft.com\/products\/6-boning-knife","provider":"The Kitchen Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
