The Messermeister Avanta 6" Flexible Boning knife has a swept narrow blade with an upturned tip allowing the knife to cut when the tip is pressed forward. Boning knives are used for removing large bones from meat and poultry. With small handles that can be easily twisted and turned, these agile blades are designed to work well in hard-to-reach spaces like joints and around curves. Avanta knives were developed for one of the leading culinary schools in North America. Designed with uncompromising attention to details, Avanta is produced by Messermeister, a top brand in premium kitchen cutlery for more than two generations. Our high quality blades are crafted from German X50 stainless steel for knives that are sharp, rust resistant, and easy to maintain. Solid bolsters and full tang construction give the knives great balance and heft. Avanta knives are made with rounded, triple-rivet POM handles for comfort and durability. Each knife is backed by lifetime warranty against factory defects.
