Dexter Russell Boning Knives

Dexter Boning Knives: What You Need to Know

Good sharp knives are necessary in any kitchen, whether commercial or residential, and Dexter Russell makes some of the best boning knives in the industry. With over 200 years of experience and proprietary alloys composing the blades, a Dexter Russell boning knife withstands the high-volume use of a commercial kitchen. Any kitchen that processes large cuts of meat, especially those with bones still in, can make good use of a Dexter Russell 6-inch boning knife. Chicken, beef, pork, fish, and any other bone-in meat can be difficult to manage without the right tools, but a narrow-bladed boning knife can make quick work of this time-consuming task.

Boning knives are typically slender and narrow bladed to preserve as much meat as possible when removing bones. We have various handle styles so every chef, professional or amateur, can find one that matches their preferences.

Common Questions About Dexter Russell Boning Knives

Are Dexter Russell knives any good?

Dexter Russell has been making cutlery for over 200 years, and this experience has produced quality knives at a reasonable price. Dexter Russell is a popular brand of commercial cutlery because chefs like how the knives maintain their edge, while operators like Dexter boning knives because they resist chipping and rolling, meaning they need to be replaced less often than lower quality knives. Our popular Dexter 6-inch boning knives can work with poultry, beef, pork, and fish, so you won't necessarily need to invest in multiple different pieces for each preparation station. Dexter Russell utilizes a proprietary steel alloy called DexSteel™ that combines the benefits of carbon steel with stainless steel to make a great kitchen knife.

Dexter Russell boning knives are made to remove meat from bones with the least possible waste. The narrow blade helps your chef precisely cut close to the bone, while the exceptional strength of the blade ensures it doesn't wear down from cutting through such tough materials. Ensure you've trained whoever uses your knives to work carefully and avoid injury.

What kind of steel does Dexter Russell use?

DexSteel is a proprietary alloy of carbon steel and normal stainless steel, creating a high-carbon stainless steel augmented with a secret combination of other elements to create a superb kitchen knife. This proprietary steel yields exceptional hardness, tensile strength, and corrosion resistance, all of which increase the lifespan of your new Dexter Russell boning knife. Hardness enables your knife to be honed to a sharp edge; harder edges stay sharper for longer. Tensile strength prevents the edge from becoming brittle and chipping or breaking. Corrosion resistance extends the lifespan of your knife, saving you money versus purchasing replacements. DexSteel is used in all of Dexter Russell's domestic-made knives, and you can consult the product specification page for each knife to be certain the knife you're ordering is made of DexSteel.
