Dexter Russell Straight Boning Knife - 15cm Narrow Beech

The Dexter Russell Straight Boning Knife 15 cm Narrow is a classic-style knife made for butchers, farmers and home butchers who prefer a traditional timber handle with a solid feel. The narrow straight blade is shaped for neat trimming, separating sections of meat, and working through beef, lamb, pork or poultry with a clear line of cut.

Made in the USA, the blade uses Dexter’s high-carbon stainless steel, recognised for keeping a fine edge over repeated use. The beech handle offers a natural hand feel and is shaped for comfort during long sessions on the block. The straight blade helps when cutting along flat surfaces, tidying edges and preparing meat.
