Mercer CulinaryM23550 Renaissance, 6-Inch Stiff Boning Knife

Slice through a tomato skin or avocado skin so fast you have to be careful. Meat never had a chance. Perfect size. You don't have to sharpen it. Just a super fine hone will keep it perfect. Take care of it and it will last forever.

Premium quality. Sharp enough to shave the hair off you arm. All my Mercer knives are that good.

I use Mercer knives in culinary school, as well as for my catering business, and in a professional kitchen. They are great knives for daily use. I use this boning one primarily to trim Boston butts and brisket.

Super sharp and holds an edge well. Seems like it is well built.

Love this knife it really stays sharp for a while. I butcher my own deer when I get one and I was tired of my knife keep going dull like every five minutes and taking forever to process the deer. I was using cheap knives that wouldn’t hold an edge. Anyhow I don’t have to sharpen this knife nearly as often maybe after each one. When it isn’t hunting season I use it all the time for cutting meats and it always stays very very sharp.

This is a good knife. Nice handle, sharp blade that holds an edge, easy to clean. I’d recommend this to any household aspiring chef! This is not a professional grade knife but I’d bet that it could hold its own for a while. In my opinion the four best knives to get, in order, are: 10” chef, 12” bread, 7” boning, 3” paring. I’d feel good about recommending this brand.

I can kick myself in the for selling my 50-year-old boning knife from Germany. Very rarely did it ever need sharpening. I hope this Mercer Renaissance is the same quality this stiff boning knife is very sharp.

I used to buy expensive knives, Wusthof , etc. None of them lasted that well. RENNAISSANCE by Mercer is the best knife for your money. I have their largest Chef knife and this knife. From a minimalist perspective, that is all you will need. I have hidden these 2 knives in and amongst my older set of Wusthof , Henckels, etc. That way, the family doesn't throw them in the dishwasher. This is the best knife for your money. Don't hesitate. - Do not put in dishwasher. Hand rinse and dry and put away.

Bought this for use in butchery class, I now use it at work and home . Very comfortable and sharp. Great quality blade.

Very strong, solid knife, easy to sharpen and cuts straight through
