Knife, 6-Inch Zelite Infinity Vegetable Nakiri Chef Knife, 6-Inch

This has a full tang and good weight, and it’s designed for impressive performance. Made from carbon Japanese stainless steel, the razor-sharp edge makes slicing easy. We tested this knife by using it to slice everything from herbs and greens to radishes, tomatoes, and even nuts. It wasn't as impressive with roast beef, but that's not the main function of a santoku. Although the knife wasn't super sharp out of the box, we didn't have a problem sharpening it ourselves. Another design aspect of most boning knives is the arch in the blade around the heel of the knife. This allows for more curvature and can help you more easily move around bones and joints. This shape is particularly proficient at skinning meats and trimming fat because just one pass-through of the blade can remove skin and slice through layers or fat without any excessive sawing motions. Some boning knives don’t have this blade design, so that’s something to consider when purchasing.Have you ever tried trimming a whole brisket or any kind of primal with a santoku knife? Yeah.. I wouldn't recommend it. That's what I've been doing. Until now, when I discovered there was actually a knife made for this specific purpose! Expertly crafted in Switzerland since 1884; designed for professionals who use knives all day, every day; lifetime against defects in material and workmanship

A: the spear point and the trailing point. The clip point is typically very pointy and provides excellent control, while the drop point is typically broader and more durable. One way in which hunting knife blades differ from those of survival knives is that survival knives often have a serrated edge for sawing branches to make emergency shelters etc while the serrated edge is a rarity on these knives Q: What are the different types of hunting knives? I’ve talked about the knife length above, which is the main factor that determines which size knife will suit you but there are some other considerations too. Compared to other kitchen knives, boning knives are more flexible than others, yet not as flexible as a filet knife. That said, there are both stiff and flexible boning knives available. You want a sturdier blade for tougher cuts of protein like poultry or beef because it allows the knife to get close to the bones of a meat product without succumbing to the tough texture. In this particular instance, a flexible knife could cause injury. Perfectly Curved Blade: The curvature and semi-stiff nature of the blade make it glide through the meat with precision. It's ideal for those intricate cuts needed when working with brisket.Not all knives will have a bolster, but in western style chef’s knives a bolster is usually a sign of good quality. Like with other sharp knives, you want to make sure that you are comfortable with the grip so that you can maintain control, says Chernoff. “Look for ergonomically designed handles that fit nicely in your hand.”
