This 5.5 inch Boning Knife is an essential chef's tool for trimming or deboning raw meat, fish or poultry. Daniel Boulud designed this one with an arch at the back and a sharp point for ease of use. This knife is 100% forged from a single piece of highest quality high carbon stainless steel. The polymer handle is ergonomically designed and accented with signature DBK rivets. Daniel Boulud is a New York based chef who combines the best of traditional European cooking with the freshest of American ingredients. Growing up on his family's farm near Lyon France he was inspired by his grandmothers cooking, and by 13 he knew he wanted to become a professional chef. His renowned restaurants in New York City include Daniel, a four star eatery on Park Avenue named one of the ten best resturants in the world. Chef Boulud has personally designed every piece in the DBK line with function and form in mind. This collection is the culmination of his 30 years of cooking with hundreds of different tools combined with Sabatier's extensive experience creating high end cutlery and cookware.
