Product Overview

The ZWILLING Pro 5.5-inch flexible boning knife is engineered for precision, control, and durability in professional and home kitchens alike. Crafted in ZWILLING’s German-owned factory, the blade is forged from a special formula high‑carbon stainless steel that has been refined over nearly three centuries.

The knife’s full‑tang construction, combined with a triple‑riveted composite handle, ensures maximum stability, balance, and a comfortable grip that adapts to a variety of hand sizes. Additionally, the knife is dishwasher safe, making cleanup effortless after demanding culinary tasks.
