The Dexter boning knife easily cuts meat away from ribs and chops. The high-carbon DEXSTEEL construction resists corrosion and has greater hardenability, assuring it can hold a finer edge for longer. The Dexter boning knife features a handle constructed of beech wood for a natural, classic look. The handle is attached to the blade with brass compression rivets that expand and contract with the wood for a long-lasting tight fit.
