Boning Knife 160mm AEB-L Orbital Double Black Canvas Micarta & Stainless Steel
Introducing a one-of-a-kind kitchen knife, meticulously handcrafted by artisanal knife maker Dan Bidinger. Inspired by classic French boning knives, this exceptional tool is designed for precision and control. The thin convex bevels and gentle taper ensure smooth cutting performance, making it an excellent choice for detailed and intricate tasks. Whether you’re trimming meat or working around a joint, the refined geometry of this knife allows for effortless manoeuvrability and clean, precise cuts.
At the heart of this knife is AEB-L premium stainless steel, one of Dan Bidinger’s favorite materials. Known for its fine grain structure, this steel offers outstanding sharpness potential and exceptional edge retention. Originally developed for razor blades, AEB-L is prized by knife makers and chefs alike for its ability to take a razor-sharp edge while maintaining durability and ease of maintenance. This means that the knife will not only deliver superior cutting performance but will also remain sharp for extended periods, reducing the need for frequent sharpening.
The handle is crafted in a classic full tang construction, featuring double black canvas micarta scales and stainless steel pins for a secure and resilient build. Designed with an ergonomic coke bottle shape, the handle provides a natural and comfortable grip, ensuring ease of use during prolonged kitchen tasks. Dan has also integrated subtle finger notches on either side of the pinch point, enhancing comfort and control. Unique and rare features such as the orbital finish on the blade face contribute to the knife’s striking appearance and smooth slicing ability. With its exceptional sharpness, balanced design, and artisanal craftsmanship, this knife is a true standout in any kitchen.

Product Care:
Cleaning: Clean by hand with warm water. Avoid wetting the handle when possible.
Sharpening: We advise using whetstones to sharpen your knives and a honing rod or steel to maintain the burr between sharpening sessions.
Reactive Steels: Reactive steels like Aogami Super, Apex Ultra or one of the many premium reactive German and Swedish steels are susceptible to rust if not properly cared for. In this case we advise that you keep the knife dry between uses and when storing the knife for longer periods wiping the knife blade with Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil is a wise choice. This will not stop a patina forming on the blade, but it will stop rust. A patina can be a beautiful personal feature on your knife and helps to stop rust forming. So, dry your knife regularly between uses, store in a dry place and apply some Tsubaki oil from time to time when storing for long periods.

Handle Care: If you have a knife with a non-stabilised wooden handle, you can apply Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil to your handle from time to time. Food safe wax can be applied to both stabilised and no-stabilised wooden handles. Never apply hot wax or oil as you risk warping or damaging the handle.
