Tecna Boning Knife TD12018R, 18 cm, Red

The Tecna Boning Knife TD12018R is a professional boning knife with a 18 cm (7”) blade for separating meat from the bone and trimming joints in butcheries, restaurant kitchens and catering operations. The blade is wider than a narrow boning knife, for larger cuts of meat.

The blade is NITRO-B nitrogen stainless steel (1.4916) with a semi-polished finish, and every piece receives a laser-controlled final sharpening for a long-lasting edge. The handle is dual-injection: a rigid polypropylene core bonded to the steel tang, with a soft SEBS outer layer textured with microspheres that reduce slipping and improve grip. All materials are non-toxic, dishwasher safe and sterilisable, and resist high temperatures without losing shape. In the HACCP colour system red is the colour for raw meat, so the knife stays separate from tools used on other foods.

The same model is also made with black and yellow handles, and with a 16 cm blade. Designed and made in Italy by Ambrogio Sanelli, professional knife makers since 1864.
