Boning Knife – Precision Butchery Tool
A boning knife is designed for working closely around joints, bones, and connective tissue. Its narrow, pointed blade allows for precise trimming, breaking down meat, and removing sinew with control, ideal for poultry and red meat preparation.

Pallares – Solsona Craftsmanship
Pallares knives are made in Solsona, Spain — a town with a long history of blade making. Known for their straightforward, workhorse approach, Pallares knives prioritise usability, comfort, and value.
Favoured by butchers, cooks, and home users alike, they offer dependable performance without unnecessary complexity — tools designed to be used, sharpened, and relied upon daily.

Carbon Steel –
This blade is made from carbon steel, chosen for its ease of sharpening and ability to take a very keen edge. It responds quickly on the stones and offers excellent cutting feel.
As a non-stainless steel, it will develop a natural patina over time and can rust if left wet. Regular drying and occasional wiping during use will keep it in good condition.
–––
Handle – Boxwood
Fitted with a traditional boxwood handle, shaped for comfort and control. Lightweight and warm in the hand, it offers a secure grip during detailed work. Occasional oiling will help maintain its appearance over time.

Steel Care
• Hand wash only — never use a dishwasher
