As the chef at a steakhouse I use a boning knife regularly. I used to use the Victorinox boning knife and lately I’ve switched to a 180mm petty for trimming sub primals. I cut a lot of steaks; filets, ribeyes, strips, picanhas, and bavettes.
I bought one of these a few months back and it landed on the community knife rack. It was popular and got beat up pretty good. I finally decided to use it so I took it to the stones.
First, the AUS10 is first quality. My trusted Kohetsu 2000 made short work of it and it got razor sharp. I don’t think a boning knife needs to be refined any further, so I stropped on leather. It made short work of a tenderloin. The tip in particular works well removing silver skin.
It’s single bevel, which presented no issues sharpening. And stainless works so much better cutting meat, at least in my opinion.
I cleaned it up, gave it to my favorite grasshopper, and bought another one with my Christmas gift card from my wife.
For the price an incredible value. Was this rating helpful to you?
