Product description:
A boning knife from Solingen is exactly the right choice when you want to release meat from the bone precisely and remove sinew, cartilage and fat cleanly. The VOCUT boning knife with its 15 cm blade combines precise cutting performance with genuine Solingen craftsmanship and a handle made of yellow plastic. You work more calmly, more cleanly and with much more control.
When boning you quickly notice whether a knife is really made for the job. A blade that is too wide or dull leaves a lot of meat on the bone, jams at joints and slips on sinew. The short, narrow and pointed blade of this boning knife tackles exactly that: it gets close to the bone and can be guided precisely in tight curves. The curved blade follows the shape of the bone particularly well and is ideal for poultry, legs and ribs. In addition, the blade is polished in the final step. This step takes time and adds cost – which is exactly why many manufacturers skip it. For you, it means a carefully finished blade and a smoother cutting feel.
With the 15 cm curved blade you release meat from the bone, separate joints, remove sinew, cartilage and silver skin and trim cuts. Set the tip close to the bone and work with short, controlled cuts. Learn more about this knife type in the knife glossary under “Ausbeinmesser” (German) and in the FAQ, for example “What is a boning knife?” (German).
The blade is made of stainless 1.4116 / X50CrMoV15 molybdenum-vanadium knife steel at approx. 56–58 HRC. This gives you a good balance of cutting performance, stability and everyday practicality. The handle made of yellow plastic is non-porous, can be washed in hot water and stays grippy even with wet or greasy hands – the standard in butchery and catering. Coloured handles help assign knives to certain foods under the HACCP principle (German); each business defines which colour stands for what in its hygiene plan. With an overall length of 29 cm, the knife stays easy to control.
VOCUT stands for knives with an honest origin and a personal standard. The brand is led by Orazio Vella from Solingen – shaped by the craft of his father, who worked as an “Ausmacher” (knife finisher) in Solingen’s cutlery industry. Every VOCUT knife is made entirely in Solingen. That is exactly what you get with this boning knife too: not an anonymous mass-produced item, but a well-thought-out tool with Solingen character. Read more about our origin and philosophy on the page Knives from Solingen (German).
Choose between the version with individual laser engraving and the classic version without engraving. With engraving – a name or your logo, for example – every knife can be clearly assigned in a business or team, and as a gift it becomes a personal one-off.

Care instructions:
Wash your knife by hand in hot water after use and dry it immediately. The plastic handle needs no oil.

Frequently asked questions:
What is this boning knife best suited for?
For releasing meat from the bone, separating joints and removing sinew, cartilage and silver skin – for pork, beef, lamb, game and poultry. More: What is a boning knife? (German)
Curved or straight boning knife – what is the difference?
The curved blade follows the shape of the bone particularly well and suits poultry, legs and ribs. The straight blade offers more control for long, straight cuts and trimming. Many butchers use both.
Can I cut through bones with the boning knife?
No. The boning knife cuts along the bone, not through it – that would damage the fine tip. For bones, a cleaver is the right choice. More: What is a cleaver? (German)
Can VOCUT resharpen this knife?
Yes. This knife is not forged – so VOCUT resharpens it in Solingen for a fee per knife. The free resharpening service only applies to forged VOCUT knives. In between, keep the edge in shape with a honing steel. More: Knife sharpening service (German) and Which knives does the resharpening service cover? (German)
Can the knife go in the dishwasher?
The plastic handle usually withstands the dishwasher. For sharpness, hand washing is still better, because the edge can knock against crockery and cutlery in the machine and detergents attack the blade. More: Can a knife with a plastic handle go in the dishwasher? (German)
Can I have the knife engraved with a name or logo?
Yes. Choose the version with laser engraving and enter your text. For a logo engraving, enter “Logo folgt per E-Mail” and send the logo by e-mail after ordering. This way every knife can be clearly assigned in a business or team. More: How does individual laser engraving work at VOCUT? (German)
Who is this boning knife the right choice for?
For butchers, chefs, hunters and ambitious home cooks who bone their own meat and value precision, hygiene and Solingen quality.
