Hogue designed this knife with a hidden tang construction, giving it a clean and uninterrupted handle silhouette while maintaining trusted durability. The Black Richlite handle is smooth, refined, and comfortable, offering a strong, water-resistant grip that feels secure even during long prep sessions. Richlite has earned its reputation in both kitchenware and outdoor gear for good reason: it’s dependable, stable, and incredibly pleasant in hand. Paired with the knife’s trim profile, the handle keeps the overall weight down, bringing the full package to just 3.8 ounces. It’s light enough for all-day prep but still substantial enough to inspire confidence.

The balance between blade and handle makes it easy to control fine movements while still giving you the length you need to handle a wide variety of cuts. Hogue includes a black injection-molded glass fiber reinforced nylon blade cover for safe drawer storage or transport. It clicks into place securely, guarding the blade edge and helping maintain longevity between uses.
This boning knife isn’t just about performance; it’s also about the experience. Every detail, from the sweep of the blade to the comfortable curve of the handle, was crafted to give cooks of any skill level a tool that elevates their workflow.
