Shun Classic 6″ Boning Fillet Kitchen Knife DM0743

The Shun Classic 6″ Boning & Fillet Knife is adept at these two kitchen chores. The narrow curved blade gets in close to the bone, making it easy to separate the meat from the bone. The narrow blade reduces the drag as you cut against the meat, so cutting is fast and easy. When it comes to filleting fish, the blade’s 6″ length is just right to glide through the body of the fish, quickly removing the bones and skin. The comfortable D-shaped handle provides a secure grip for excellent control.

The Shun Cutlery Classic knife features a VG-Max “super” steel blade core clad with 34 folded layers per side of stainless Damascus steel. The blade is ground and bead blasted to reveal the beautiful flowing pattern of the Damascus. Each side is sharpened to a 16 degree angle. It features a D-shaped Ebony PakkaWood handle, which is resin-impregnated natural hardwood designed for moisture resistance and longevity. While the D-shaped handle is designed specifically for right-handed use, left-handed users may find it comfortable in hand as well. Shun does sell select left-hand specific handles in the reverse grip.
