What Huusk is

Huusk boning, fillet and trimming

02What decides it

Stiff or flexible, curved or straight

Narrow, flexible blades for taking meat off bone, trimming a brisket and skinning a fish, most of them with a leather sheath.

A boning knife is the one knife whose job is to follow a shape rather than cut a line. Five and six inches is the usual length, and the narrower the blade the more it will steer.

Flex is the choice most people get wrong. A stiff blade is what you want for beef and pork, where you are levering against bone. A flexible one is what you want for fish and poultry, where you are riding along it. A curved edge follows a joint. A straight one trims a brisket flat. Most of this shelf ships with a sheath, because a thin blade in a drawer is the fastest way to lose the point.

03Asked on this shelf

Huusk boning, fillet and trimming: questions

The three things people ask us about boning, fillet and trimming before they choose one.

Should your Huusk boning knife be stiff or flexible?

Stiff for beef and pork, where you are levering against bone and want the blade to hold its line. Flexible for fish and poultry, where you want it to ride along the bone and follow the shape. If you only buy one, a semi-stiff five or six inch blade covers both badly but usefully.

Which do you need, a Huusk fillet knife or a boning knife?

Length and flex. A fillet knife is longer and thinner so it can run the length of a side of fish in one stroke. A boning knife is shorter and stiffer so it can work around a joint. The curve matters too: curved follows a bone, straight trims a brisket flat.

Will your Huusk boning knife arrive with a sheath?

Most of this shelf does, and the card says which. A thin blade is the one most likely to lose its point in a drawer, and the point is the whole tool on a boning knife.
