Opinel Les Forges 1890 Boning Knife

This knife is specifically designed for precision tasks like separating meat from bone, trimming fat, and filleting. The 5-inch length provides the agility needed for intricate cuts that a larger chef's knife cannot handle as easily.

Full-tang construction means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, stability, and durability, ensuring the knife feels solid in your hand and won't snap at the handle under pressure.

No, you should always hand wash this knife. While the wood is stabilized for water resistance, high heat and harsh detergents in a dishwasher will eventually damage the handle and dull the blade's edge.

The V-grip is an ergonomic feature shaped to guide your fingers into a natural, secure position. It helps you maintain control and precision during repetitive deboning tasks, which reduces hand fatigue over time.

This is a high-quality, professional-grade stainless steel known for its excellent balance of edge retention and corrosion resistance. It is tough enough to handle the rigors of a busy kitchen while remaining relatively easy to sharpen when the edge eventually dulls.
