This stiff boning knife is as impressive in its performance as it is enchanting, with its upswept, five bar, low-twist mosaic damascus blade united to a deep turquoise-died boxelder handle by an integral bolster and decorative black micarta spacer. Creatively designed, hand forged, and finished meticulously by craftsman Niko Nicolaides at his one-man studio in Detroit, Michigan, a butcher’s tool to fillet and break down all variety of proteins in exquisite style.
