Signature Boning & Trimming Knife

The Signature Boning & Trimming Knife is a compact, light and maneuverable knife designed for precise trimming and boning. Its 5½-inch blade and 110-gram weight provide excellent control when working around meat, fat, joints and connective tissue, while the blade length also makes it useful for smaller slicing tasks.

The blade uses a Japanese VG-10 cutting core, clad in 67 layers of stainless Damascus steel. VG-10 was selected for its combination of edge retention, corrosion resistance and durability, providing a fine cutting edge while remaining practical for regular use.

Each handle is made from solid natural hardwood or antler and individually shaped and finished by hand. The multi-dimensional handle shape provides a natural grip between the first and second fingers, helping with control and allowing the knife to sit securely in the hand without unnecessary grip pressure.

Stainless-steel handle caps provide strength and act as a counterweight, helping balance the knife from blade to handle.

Each knife is supplied in a premium storage box.

CARE

Route 83 stainless-steel knives require straightforward care. Wash by hand with warm water and mild detergent and dry after use. The blade does not require oiling and is suitable for normal food preparation, including acidic ingredients.

Natural hardwood and antler handles require no routine oiling. If desired, an occasional application of food-safe oil can be used on hardwood to enhance the natural grain and appearance of the timber.

NATURAL MATERIALS

Natural hardwood varies in grain, color and character. This natural variation is limited to the appearance of the handle and does not affect the knife’s dimensions, construction, balance or performance.

Blade finish: Unplated Damascus. No titanium plating.
