## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the actual weight of the knife (not shipping weight)? Is it the same as the Renaissance?**
A: The knife alone weighs 7.62 oz or, 216 grams

**Q: For the "8-inch short bolster forged chef's knife", what's the measurement from the spine to blade edge, at the bolster? the widest part of the knife.**
A: That is 1 and 3/4 inch.

**Q: Are them dishwasher safe?**
A: ABSOLUTELY NOT! You shouldn't ever wash your knives in the dishwasher. The soap is VERY caustic and will eat away the blade edge ruining the knife. I just wash mine with mild dish soap, rinse thoroughly and then dry and put into my knife holder.

**Q: This is probably a silly question but... what do you use for sharpening it?**
A: We use an Accusharp Knife sharpener and it works great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Boning Knife.
*by C***T on December 30, 2025*

I purchased a 6-inch flexible boning knife and I must say I am very pleased with this knife. Blade was sharp and flexible. Grip is nice and the weight is perfect. I'm a woman in her seventies with arthritic hands and needed a good boning knife for carving up a deer hindquarter when I am fortunate enough to harvest one. This knife cut through the hindquarter like butter. I would highly recommend this product.
