Kershaw Classic Boning Knife

While the manufacturer notes the blade is technically dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend hand washing. High-heat dishwashers can dull the razor-sharp edge and damage the pakkawood handle over time, significantly shortening the knife's lifespan.

The narrow, 6-inch blade is specifically engineered to minimize drag, allowing you to maneuver closely around bones and joints. The Damascus-style cladding also helps prevent food from sticking to the blade, which makes trimming silver skin or filleting fish much smoother.

VG-10 is a high-carbon 'super steel' that holds a significantly sharper edge for longer than standard stainless steel. It is clad in 32 layers of stainless steel to provide the necessary rust resistance and durability required for a professional-grade kitchen tool.

The D-shaped handle is ergonomically designed specifically for right-handed users to provide a secure, natural grip. If you are left-handed, you may find the handle shape uncomfortable or awkward to hold for extended periods.

Yes, Shun provides a limited lifetime warranty on this knife. This covers defects in materials and workmanship, giving you peace of mind regarding the long-term investment.

Because the edge is hand-sharpened to a precise 16 degrees, you should avoid using standard pull-through sharpeners, which can ruin the angle. We recommend using a whetstone or a professional sharpening service to maintain that factory-level sharpness.
