Mercer Culinary M22206 Millennia Black Handle, 6-Inch Narrow, Boning Knife

Good blade, cheep handle, does exactly what you need.

This by far the best go-to knife that I have ever owned for kitchen use. Too early for an edge holding evaluation but it's almost irrelevant. I love this slicing, dicing and meat cutting tool. Update: This knife blade has developed serious deterioration of the blade edge in a few weeks of ordinary kitchen use. Very poor quality steel that will be unusable in a year

Cuts meat effortlessly. Perfect blade size/weight and comfortable handle. Nothing fancy and reasonably priced.

I bought five sizes of various Mercer Culinary knives last year and I am very happy with them. They won't win any knife beauty pageants, but they do great for everyday kitchen work. All of my knives have held up very well, but if I do have a problem I know that a replacement isn't going to break the bank. The only drawback I can see is that handles of some of the larger knives are a little big for small hands. My wife likes the small knives just fine, but she says that the chef's knife is a bit unwieldly for her (but I don't fault the design of the knives for that).

This knife comes hair popping sharp out of the box! I noticed there are options on the buying page so this is for the m22206. This 6” narrow boning knife is nicely flexible making it a good fillet knife as well. Cannot beat the value. Had dexter knives in the past that were awesome, bought a couple of the dexter basic knives at same time I bought this since they were close to the same price point and the quality of this Mercer blade is night and day better than the dexter. If you want a knife that won’t cut you out of the package, don’t buy this one and choose the dexter instead.
