Mercer Culinary M23820 Millennia Black Handle, 6-Inch Curved, Boning Knife

Fantastic knife for trimming brisket, it's inexpensive, easy to sharpen with a cheap carbide sharpener (so no needing to deal with whetstones). The handle is solidly made and is not slippery even when wet. I'm not sure that this will last forever, but for the price...I'll buy 2 more when it goes.

I am delighted with this purchase. It arrived razor sharp and ready to go and within moments of using it to trim and slice an entire pork loin, I realized it outperformed my beloved legacy carbon steel boning knife in almost every way. It has an incredible edge and the tip is extremely fine, making it perfect for getting underneath silverskin and hard fat, peeling them away. There is some flex in the blade but it's not a filet knife and that's fine by me--in addition to pork loin and beef tenderloin, I'll be using this to break down whole chickens, and i think the balance of flex and strength is just right. To me, this is a very well designed knife that's been built well and thoughtfully--the ample handle gives it excellent ergonomics, enabling it to be both strong and precise. Getting this much knife for this kind of money is a revelation. Can't wait to get my hands on the Mercer 10-in. breaking knife.

Good & Very Sharp.

Nice enough. Used to slice fresh chicken breasts into thin slabs. Cut well. Good grip, smaller and a bit less tacky than my OLD white Sani-Safe. Good blend of stiffness, flexibility and thickness of blade. Jury is out on edge-holding, but so far so good. Worth the money. Not finding a sheath that seemed to match well, I used a heat gun on a piece of PVC pipe, flattened it, then shaped the end to fit the hilt…works well. Plan to use it next deer season and whenever breaking down whole chickens & such. Worth having.

Very nice, used it to debone a turkey, worked wonderfully.

Great knife

I love it!

Sharp knife, great size for smaller hands. Handle is easy to grip even with greasy hands. Definitely need to buy a knife guard if you want to keep the blade sharp - and your hands safe.
