She went the distance!
"I’m a hunter and boned out two deer and a pig this summer and didn’t need to put a new edge on it. It handles it with ease. Incredible knife!!"

Handle size
"I'm sure it's a good knife. My issue is the handle is way too small for my hands, so I am unable to use it. This is something that people need to be aware of prior to purchasing."

Meridian Elite Boning Knife
"I LOVE all my Messermeister knives! Kirstin is such an amazing and knowledgeable person who has guided me from day one almost 14 years ago on my knife journey. This boning knife is amazing, light and sharp- cuts through meat like it was butter. An excellent recommendation from Kirstin to add to my collection."
