This 6.5-inch boning knife is a top - notch kitchen tool. Its blades are crafted from Cromova 18 high - carbon stainless steel. After ice tempering and hardening to Rockwell C56 - 58, it holds a razor - sharp edge much longer than other steels. It also effectively resists rust, stains, and corrosion. The Global® boning knife has a 6.5 - inch (16cm) flexible blade and a Cromova 18 stainless steel handle. Compared to regular European knives, it's made from a harder steel alloy and has a thinner blade. The cutting edge is ground at a 15° angle, resulting in a sharper knife that retains its edge and enables more precise work. When the blade dulls, use whetstones or ceramic sharpening rods instead of European sharpening steels. Each handle has fine - grain sand injected to add weight and balance. Model: 71G21, Blade Length: 6 Inches, Material: CROMOVA 18 Steel, HRC: 56 - 66, Handle Colour: Grey, Product Type: Boning Knife.

Using your Global boning knife is easy. When you're working with meat, fish, or poultry, the flexible blade allows you to follow the contours of the bones and remove meat cleanly. For best results, hold the knife firmly but not too tightly, and use smooth, controlled cuts. As for maintenance, avoid putting it in the dishwasher as the harsh detergents and high - pressure water can damage the blade and handle. Instead, wash it by hand with warm, soapy water and dry it immediately. When the blade starts to get dull, don't use European sharpening steels. Opt for whetstones or ceramic sharpening rods. Just run the blade along the rod or stone a few times at a 15° angle. Store your knife in a knife block or a sheath to protect the blade and prevent any accidental cuts. And remember, keep it out of reach of children.
