The Japanese Boning Knife, Refined
"Gokujo" means "superior" in Japanese - and this knife earns the name. The curved blade gets in close to the bone, allowing you to remove meat cleanly and efficiently with minimal waste. The rigid construction gives you the control and feedback you need when working around joints and cartilage, while the VG-MAX steel core - clad in 32 layers of Damascus stainless steel - holds a razor-sharp edge through demanding work. The ebony PakkaWood® D-shaped handle provides a secure, fatigue-free grip even when working with wet or fatty proteins.
