I have become addicted to the Bearded Butchers youtube channel, and this knife is the one they use in most of their videos. Victorinox 6 inch semi-stiff boning knife with rosewood handle. I'm tired of trying to trim/debone meat with junky knives and figure if they use this knife in a commercial setting, it should more than suit my needs.

You will enjoy that knife. I run them and they are great steel.
 
Looks like a nice knife! I'll have to keep an eye out for one. I'll just tell my wife... it's ok honey, it's only semi stiff!

I have the same one only with a rubber handle, you won't be disappointed.

I haven't actually used it for anything yet, but yeah, from the feel of it, I believe I'm going to be pleased with it.
 
Yeah boning knives are useful for a lot of things. I have a 6" boning/paring gladiator from dalstrong that I use A LOT and I have an 8" vegi chefs knife too. I been thinking about getting a 6 inch chef's lately to be honest 8's a bit long. as a btw I suggest a rough fine pull thru and a honing rod no need to go all stone unless you ocd.
 
Victorinox makes a nice blade, I have had the Swiss Army model in my pocket for many many years!

I also really like their modern chef knifes with walnut handles......just classy and modern!

I figure this should be all I need for quite awhile.

I bought the Franklin to make me feel like I know what I'm doing.
Actually more of a souvenir than a kitchen tool but it works great, sharpens and holds it's edge nicely and comfortable handle.

Worth a look is the $4 with coupon Harbor Freight adjustable sharpener. From my Knives to the lawnmower blades, it's fantastic:

This is a great sharpener, use it to help with any little burrs I might pick up, but I also use a good steel to fine tune

Good Knives, Good Bourbon and a Good Woman! Once you got the basics, everything else is just another Toy... JJ
 
I have that knife and a smaller one from them in my collection. Good products.
 
I finally got a decent knife set after using junk knives forever. Almost sent myself to the ER with them the first time I used them. Cut so much easier than what I had been fighting with.

Yea I call BS on whoever said “dull knives are more dangerous or likely to cut you”. I learned differently on my first couple razor sharp knives complete with stitches lol. I learned to respect them quickly.

Been my experience that any of them will cut ya, sharp ones usually make a deeper cut is the only difference I've found.

@jcam222 Was surprised how easily the new knives cut. Was like cutting warm butter vs having to saw away at it. Almost did send myself to the ER. LOL.
