HENCKELS Forged Premio 5.5-inch Boning Knife, Black/Stainless Steel

I have a good assortment of quality knives, but I needed a small serrated knife. I don’t know how I survived before I got this knife. I use it multiple times a day. It is well balanced, feels great in my hand, very sharp. Perfect for cutting a sandwich in half. Slicing fruits and vegetables etc. there are a lot of similar, less expensive knives on here, but you get what you pay for. I wanted a quality knife, that felt good in my hand, that’s exactly what I got. I’d buy it again!

Brother loves it. Good and sharp.

Completely satisfied with this item

I've recently been searching for a good cutlet knife for preparation of beef and chicken, which I make quite a bit for my family meals. The Henckels Forged Premio 5.5 inch boning knife does the job inexpensively and with little flourish. The full tang forged blade on this knife is slim, relatively thin and flexible but strong - as a boning knife should be. The handle is VERY comfortable to hold and solidly built. This is not a "show knife". With its dull satin finish on the blade and handle, the look is much more "working kitchen tool". That's what it is and it does the job I need it to do just fine. The knife arrived in very cheesy plastic packaging - no money wasted there - but was reasonably sharp and immediately useful. Made in China of an unspecified "German Steel" that is not super hard and with a relatively linear blade, I was able to hone it to a nice edge in short order with just a few careful swipes of a honing rod. Sharpening ease is important - because all kitchen knives that are used a lot need to be periodically sharpened, no matter the steel hardness. For comparison, I've tried two other knives. The first was an AUS10 Japanese "Damascus Steel" knife with a curved blade, also made in China, at 2x the price. It's a beautiful looking and substantial knife with an excellent finish, but unfortunately came dull right out of the box and is hard (for me) to sharpen due to the curve (and perhaps high steel hardness). It was not as capable as the Henckels in actual use. The second knife is a genuine VG10 Damascus steel Japanese utility knife that is wonderfully balanced and light and so sharp it can cur though just about anything in one smooth, light motion, just like a scalpel, at 4x the price. A wonderful and beautiful instrument, but fragile. I will never try sharpening the Japanese knife myself or hand it to others - it looks EASY to chip or break. So I'll be carefully taking it out and enjoying it myself while quietly cooking. The Henckels knife, on the other hand, I just dropped into my knife block to be used - by everybody, including me, all the time. Because it can do the job, take a beating, be sharpened easily and is not overly expensive if it does break. As I said - a solid "Working Knife". In this class it merits five (5) stars, IMO.

Knife was sharp right out of the package. Good size and weight. Feels good in my hand. I can't speak to longevity as it is a recent purchase, but so far I am very pleased.

It seems like a good knife, but the blade is quite thick close to the serrated edge, so it binds when cutting firm vegetables., etc. Probably a good knife for sawing a crusty roll, but not a 5-inch utility knife to replace my worn down but thinner Japanese blade.

I bought a set of the Premio knives one piece at a time because I didn't want any of the serrated ones and there are a couple with the Granton grooves that are only on one side and it's the WRONG size. I did buy a classic series 4" pairing knife because the Premio series lacks this size which is actually the one I use the most. Overall I really like these knives and am happy with all of them. They are sharp, well balanced and comfortable in the hand. For some reason the boning knife is exceptionally sharp. I use it for trimming steaks and other meat prior to cooking. I like to cut nearly all the fat from porterhouse steaks and chops but hate to lose any meat. This knife is so sharp it makes this task ridiculously easy. It takes absolutely no effort to slice through even tough sinew. The narrow blade width also makes it easy to maneuver around bones.

I've been using Henckels knives for over a decade and the quality is amazing. They should last forever when taken care of, making them a great value. This serrated knife is one of my favorites -- the perfect knife for cutting bread.

Le couter est de très bonne qualités et coupe très bien

Very sharp n precise knife 🔪 Quality product👍👍

Any time you pay for a quality knife you get a quality knife. Just watch we’re it is made as per many companies they have there entry level and then there level and it is no different here. Always look for second and third level made

Had it for less than 2 months and rusting already. Very disappointed.

I thought the price was reasonable too for Henckels.
