If you want a boning knife that feels every bit as serious as the work you’re putting it through, the Microtech 6.12” Boning Knife Ivory is ready to step up. Microtech’s known for precision and performance, and this kitchen-focused blade brings that same no-nonsense mindset to trimming, deboning, and breakdowns where control and edge stability matter most. It’s clean, capable, and built for cooks and hunters alike who don’t want to baby their gear.
At the heart of it is an M390MK® stainless steel boning blade with a stonewash finish. M390MK is a premium stainless steel choice with excellent wear resistance and strong edge retention, so you’re not constantly chasing sharpness halfway through a prep session. The boning profile is designed to work close to bone and through connective tissue with confidence, letting you separate meat cleanly and efficiently without tearing things up. The stonewash finish adds a hardworking, low-glare look while helping mask the scuffs and swirls that come with real use, so it’ll keep looking sharp even when it’s earning its keep.
With a 6.125" blade length, this knife hits a versatile sweet spot. It’s long enough to handle bigger cuts and longer strokes, yet still compact enough for tight, precise work around joints and rib bones. The 11.71" total length gives you solid reach and leverage, helping you keep your cuts smooth and controlled whether you’re trimming silver skin, portioning, or working along a carcass. It’s the kind of size that feels natural in motion—nimble when you need finesse, steady when you need power.
Construction-wise, Microtech didn’t cut corners. This is a full tang build, which means the steel runs the full length of the handle for added strength, stability, and confidence under pressure. When you’re working through dense tissue or making repeated directional changes, that solid, unified feel matters. It keeps the knife balanced in hand and dependable when you’re leaning into the cut.
The handle is made from ivory-colored G-10, a tough, work-ready material that’s prized for its durability and dependable grip. It shrugs off moisture, handles temperature swings, and stays comfortable when your hands are wet or messy—exactly what you want in a knife that’s going to see real kitchen time or field use. The ivory-colored handle styling keeps the look clean and classic, giving you that crisp, refined aesthetic without sacrificing the hard-use feel Microtech’s known for.
At 7.38 oz., it’s got a reassuring, controlled weight that helps the blade track smoothly through the cut. It’s not so heavy that it feels cumbersome, and it’s not so light that it feels flimsy. It’s just right for deliberate slicing, careful trimming, and repeatable precision—session after session.
When you’re ready to upgrade to a boning knife that blends premium steel, full-tang strength, and practical handling in a package that looks as sharp as it cuts, this Microtech delivers.
