Mercer Culinary Ultimate White, 6 inch Curved Boning Knife

I purchased this based upon multiple positive reviews from barbecue 'masters'. After using this on a brisket I was going to smoke. Was extremely sharp out of the box. It handled the triming of the brisket easily, both cutting out the excess hard fat and precisely cutting out the membrane while leaving the meat intact below. The narrow and curved blade allowed me to accurately trim the brisket whereas my old knife always seemed to remove as much meat as it did membrane or fat. The handle gets a bit slick as you use it from the grease/fat/juices, but I think that will be the case for any knife like this. The handle feels nice in the hand and is comfortable to use. While I intended to use this only for barbecue, my wife has discovered it and now it is a preferred knife in the kitchen. Be aware, there is another version that looks just like this but with colorful handles. Those are not the same quality. Only this particular knife (with the white blade) is the one recommended on myriad sites and now by myself. I do wish it came in colors other than white, but that is a pretty minor thing (note to manufacturer . . . a red knife would look pretty awesome). Highly recommended (but come on . . . produce this wonderful knife in more colors please)

I've had this knife for approx' six months now and for a price of ~$14.50 I'm really pleased. It's sharp and has held an edge well. I use it to break down whole chickens, trim brisket, cut through fish/skin, whatever. The blade is sharp enough to cut through bone easily and keep it's edge. Normally, I hand wash my knives; however, I have to admit I have occassionally thrown this in the dishwasher without thinking twice about it, easy peasy. I've also purchased their 3" paring knife, as well as the 6" straight boning knife and all of them have performed and held up well. I'm happy with this brand, the quality of the knife and edge retention on the blade. I consider these low cost and high value and will purchase them again when needed.

This knife is sharp right out of the box. I bought two of these and we butchered six hogs with them, they didn't need much more than a periodic touch up on a steel. Are there better knives than these? Yep, there are, but at this price point I’m going to call it a win. I hate buying expensive cutlery that I know will get abused and/or lost in the heat of sausage making season. I would definitely buy again.

Excellent knife. Been using it for few months now and the edge is still sharp. Cutting meat with bones is lot easier now.

Yep, I use it as a steak knife. Tough old piece of what we call dinosaur meat? This makes it easy to slice a thin piece against the grain. No more sawing with a serrated knife. I wish I'd bought this years ago

This boning knife is a kitchen essential! The 6-inch blade is sharp and precise, making it ideal for trimming meat and fish. The white handle is comfortable to grip, and the quality feels top-notch. It’s held up well after regular use—definitely a 5-star addition to my cookware.

Super sharp and made deboning a chicken a breeze!

Great knife seems to be holding an edge. The grip is comfortable.
