This compact boning knife is built in Japan with hunters specifically in mind - a single-sided, right-handed grind sized for skinning boar or deer and just as useful for butchering and breaking down poultry in the kitchen. At 90mm it is small enough for precise control while still carrying enough presence to handle real fieldwork.
The blade is forged from Blue #1 (Aogami #1) steel, one of the highest-performing carbon steels available, clad in soft iron and finished in kurouchi - the dark, as-forged surface typical of traditional Japanese blades. The single grind orientation gives a precise, controlled edge for detail work around joints and bone. The oak oval handle with black plastic ferrule is simple, light, and well balanced for extended use.
What Customers Are Saying: Stephen Hertz calls it quite a knife at a great price - heavy in the hand, but the balance compensates for the weight, and he loves the size overall.
Care Instructions: Blue #1 is a highly reactive carbon steel. Wipe and dry the blade immediately after every use. Avoid leaving acidic materials on the edge. Hand wash only. Apply camellia oil for long-term storage.
