For this batch, we took the same proven boning profile and brought it into another league entirely. Forged with an M390 core — one of the most impressive modern steels out there. At around HRC 61, it delivers incredible edge retention, crisp sharpness, and that clean, controlled feel you want when working close to the bone: fully firm with zero flex, which makes precision trimming way easier. No wobble, no fighting the steel — just predictable cuts and smooth control. And because we didn’t want to lose the handmade soul, the M390 core is wrapped in a Copper Damascus cladding that gives each knife a layered, almost liquid-looking finish.
Every piece still has those subtle handmade differences, but performance stays consistent across the batch. You end up with a blade that blends high-tech steel, traditional craftsmanship, and a no-nonsense working profile that’s perfect for detailed meat prep — without the worry of corrosion or constant maintenance.
What it’s not meant for is brute-force butchery — no prying, no twisting through joints, and definitely no chopping into bone. The edge is extremely refined and the steel is high-performance, so it rewards precision, not abuse.
If you want a boning knife built for finesse, accuracy, and modern steel performance — without losing the handmade charm — this is the one.
