Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This 6-inch boning knife is ideal for removing meat from the bones of poultry and many other foods. The blade's narrow, curved profile easily accesses hard-to-reach areas so you can excise meat more efficiently. For many chefs, nothing beats the ergonomic comfort or classic styling of fully forged cutlery in "basic black." Mundial's 5100 Series Black is just that. The company's oldest line of fully forged knives, it exemplifies all the expertise that Mundial has acquired through its more than 70 years of crafting gourmet knives. 5100 Series Black is fully forged from high-carbon stainless steel and features a durable polyacetal handle in the traditional three-rivet style.

The Value of a Fully-Forged Knife
Mundial knives, with very few exceptions, are fully forged in a manufacturing process that combines innovative technology with old-world tradition and expertise. In the forging process, steel is heated to an extremely high temperature, set into a die, and hammered into the shape of the basic blade. Following a heating and cooling process, the forged blade is ground to create a full taper to the cutting edge. The result is a stronger, thicker, more resilient blade that flares smoothly at the heel to blend into the shape of the handle. Fully forged cutlery offers an array of key benefits, including greater tensile strength, increased durability, lasting sharpness, and better balance and control.

Construction
Mundial's computer-aided design creates the perfect shape and balance for chopping, dicing, and slicing all types of food. The knives are fully forged from high-carbon chrome molybdenum stainless steel for the best edge retention and sharpening ease. Each knife also undergoes Mundial's computerized blade grinding and polishing process to create a precise taper from tip to bolster (the quality bolster is the main feature of any truly forged knife). Busy chefs will appreciate the ergonomically crafted handles with full tangs, which deliver comfort, balance, and durability. Every Mundial knife is also hand sharpened and individually tested for ultimate performance.

Quality Control
How do Mundial knives compare to other premium cutlery? In addition to its extensive quality control procedures, Mundial regularly submits its products to an international independent testing facility. These standardized testing methodologies continue to show that Mundial knives are among the best in the world.

Mundial 5100-series knives aren't the least expensive of the forged knive brands, but they seem to have a leg up on the Chinese-made brands for steel and construction quality ... and they don't cost that much more. This boning knife is one model where better steel makes a real difference. It will take a razor sharp edge that holds up quite well, even when you scrape bone. If there is a complaint, it would be that the handle is a bit on the small side for a male chef's hand.

This review is from: Mundial 5100 Series 6-Inch Boning Knife, Black (Kitchen)

When attempting to bone a chicken or trim a roast without a decent boning knife I often ended up with sliced fingers and a less than ideal end product. I decided to shell out the money and buy the Mundial 5100 Series 6-Inch Boning Knife. With the money needed to buy comparable fancy brand name knives you could probably buy a used car, so I found the price of the Mundial 5100 very attractive. The knife has exceeded my expectations. It has kept its sharpness, even after a couple of months of heavy use. All I have to do is a little honing before using it. I do recommend washing it by hand and drying it promptly to avoid stains. With a little care this knife will last for a long time.

My 4th Mundial knife and I was not disappointed. I own some über expensive knives but don't use a boning knife often enough to drop a ton of dough on one. Works beautifully. Great value
