Thin and sharp at the edge, strong and stiff at the spine, and sweeping upward to a pointed tip, this gokujo-style boning knife from Ben Tendick will see no shortage of use in the kitchen, outside at the grill, or beside the campfire. The gokujo profile is an all-in-one butchery blade, large enough to break down big and tough proteins, while being versatile enough for certain fillet, trimming, and carving tasks. Ben has taken the tough and durable CPM 3V steel, known for its high wear resistance, to sharp, hard edge below belt-finished bevels, contrasted by brushed flats and blade tang. For grip, burgundy linen micarta is sculpted into a comfortable, Western profile and secured with two house-made copper and carbon fiber pins.
