16cm Victorinox Swibo Curved Flexible Blade Boning Knife: PK Reviews

I have to say that as a home cook, that buys meat in bulk including whole primals, I love this knife. As soon as you hold the handle you can tell it is not a general purpose kitchen knife. The grip, flexible curved blade and sharp point is suited for following the lines of bones and meats’ natural seams.

I am an awful “butcher” but this exceptionally sharp and well designed knife helps me get the job done with minimal wastage.

16cm Victorinox Swibo Curved Flexible Blade Boning Knife

20171005 swibo 16cm

Pros:
  • Smaller curved blade makes it the perfect partner to its heavier hitting brother the 25cm Victorinox Swibo Rigid Butchers Knife.
  • Tough carbon steel perfect for slicing (Rockwell rating of 56-58).
  • Holds an edge for a long time.
  • Moulded nylon handle that is easy to clean and doesn’t hold meat particles.
  • It comes in a plastic sleeve that I use to store it in.
  • Will last a lifetime if cared for properly.
Cons:

Being a novice and not having anything to compare it too I can’t find any.

The Verdict:

Great product at a very reasonable price. Suitable for commercial environments and home butchery.

I hope this review helps you and feel free to send me any comments if you want to add to it.
