Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star II 5-1/2-Inch Stainless-Steel Boning Knife
With a razor-sharp edge, this 5-1/2-inch boning knife works great for separating meat from the bone, cooked or uncooked. The knife features a Friodur ice-hardened blade precision-forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel and crafted to hold its edge for a long time. In addition, the boning knife's enhanced bolster and full-tang design makes for a stronger, more balanced knife, while its ergonomic polypropylene handle provides maximum comfort. The detail of the new stainless-steel cap on the end of the handle with the Twin logo stamp provides an update to a Henckels classic. For best results, wash the knife by hand using a mild cleanser and dry completely. Made in Germany, the boning knife measures approximately 10-1/2 by 3/4 by 1-1/4 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty.From the ManufacturerJ. A.
