What is the Dexter 01173 hollow ground boning knife used for?
This 6" boning knife is designed for removing bones from meat, poultry, and fish with precision. The hollow ground edge provides a sharper cutting angle and makes the blade easier to hone, giving foodservice pros clean cuts and reduced resistance during use.
What does “hollow ground” mean?
A hollow ground blade has a concave surface that creates a razor-sharp edge, ideal for precise trimming and boning. It allows the blade to glide easily through meat while minimizing drag.
What kind of steel is used in the blade?
The knife is made with Dexter’s proprietary DEXSTEEL® high-carbon stainless steel, offering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening—perfect for busy commercial prep stations.
What type of handle does it feature?
It comes with the classic Sani-Safe® handle, made of textured, slip-resistant polypropylene. It’s designed for comfort, control, and safety during repetitive cuts in high-volume kitchens.
Is this knife dishwasher safe?
While the knife can technically be cleaned in a dishwasher, handwashing is recommended to extend blade life and maintain the integrity of the handle.
Is it NSF-certified for commercial foodservice use?
Yes, the Dexter 01173 is NSF-listed, meaning it meets the health and sanitation standards required for professional kitchens and meat processing operations.
Where is this knife commonly used?
It’s a go-to tool in butcher shops, meat departments, restaurants, grocery stores, and catering kitchens where precision deboning and trimming are critical to quality and efficiency.
How does this compare to a flexible boning knife?
While flexible boning knives are ideal for delicate work like deboning poultry or filleting fish, this stiff, hollow-ground blade excels in larger cuts of meat, offering more control and straighter cuts.
