Masamoto VG Series Boning Knife

4.7

Best precision tool for professional chefs and serious home cooks.

This dedicated poultry and fish specialist trades the versatility of a chef's knife for surgical precision. Its stiff, triangular blade makes short work of joints and cartilage, though you’ll need a separate knife for general chopping. It is the ultimate upgrade for anyone serious about breaking down their own proteins.
