The textured finger points and protective guard on the white polypropylene handle provide a secure grip, even during prolonged use, while the ergonomic design ensures comfort and control, reducing fatigue for chefs working long shifts. This boning knife is built to meet the demands of high-volume kitchens, where durability and performance are non-negotiable. Not dishwasher-safe, this tool is best hand-washed to maintain its sharpness and longevity.
