A Japanese twist on our beloved boning knife. This is a specialised tool which outperforms it’s European cousins.

A stiletto point and a thick blade makes this the only knife choice if you are intent on de-boning your own joints. It has a narrow blade with tapered tip which makes it much easier to work around bones.

The added bonus of this knife is it is fantastic at filleting! If you prefer to have more control over your cuts and like a more rigid blade – look no further!!

I.O. Shen knives offer a unique blend of Japanese and Western sensibilities, setting them apart from the traditional Japanese knife. Sure, their Triplex Steel Technology is a marvel, but the design elevates them to another level.

A Western Touch:

Most Japanese knives are known for their lightweight build and handles crafted from metal, bamboo, or wood. I.O. Shen takes a different approach, incorporating a distinctly Western influence. Their handles boast a satisfying weight, akin to a classic German knife, perfectly complementing the razor-sharp, 15° angled Japanese steel blade.

Beauty Meets Balance:

The artistry doesn’t stop at functionality. I.O. Shen handles feature the captivating Tai Tang pattern, adding a touch of elegance to your culinary arsenal. No wonder renowned Chef Felice Tocchini describes using these knives as “…like working with a piece of art.”

A Modern Classic:

Launched in 2004, I.O. Shen Mastergrade knives have become a favourite among professional chefs and home cooks alike. Their combination of innovative technology, superior craftsmanship, and stunning design makes them a true standout in the world of cutlery.
