What steel is in the Victorinox Fibrox Pro Boning Knife Straight Narrow VN5640315BK?

The VN5640315BK uses Victorinox's proprietary high carbon stainless steel, ice-tempered for hardness and laser-tested for edge consistency at the factory in Switzerland. Ground at 15 degrees per side, it is thinner and finer-cutting than most German-made boning knives at this price. The high carbon content holds a working edge through extended butchering sessions; the stainless composition resists corrosion in wet kitchen environments without the maintenance carbon steel requires.

Is the Victorinox Boning Knife VN5640315BK made in Switzerland?

Yes. The VN5640315BK is manufactured in Switzerland by Victorinox, who have produced professional kitchen knives there since 1884. Every blade is ice-tempered and laser-tested for edge geometry before leaving the factory. Swiss manufacture is not a marketing claim on this knife -- it is the production standard that makes Victorinox the most commonly issued brand in culinary schools worldwide.

Is the Victorinox Boning Knife VN5640315BK flexible or rigid?

The VN5640315BK is a straight, rigid narrow boning knife -- it does not flex. This is the right choice when you need the blade to hold its line precisely: portioning fish fillets, deboning chicken breasts, removing silverskin from a tenderloin, or any flat precision cut where blade deflection would cost you meat or accuracy. If your work involves navigating hip joints, shoulder sockets, or curved rib contours, the Victorinox Narrow Flex boning knife is the better tool for that application.

Is the Victorinox Fibrox handle on the VN5640315BK NSF certified?

Yes. The Fibrox handle is NSF-certified for commercial kitchen use -- the handle material and seamless bolster-to-blade transition meet food safety standards for sanitation with no crevices for bacterial accumulation, and it is rated for repeated high-temperature dishwasher cycles. This is the reason Victorinox Fibrox knives are the most commonly issued blades in NSF-required commercial kitchen environments and culinary school programs.

What is the blade length and overall length of the Victorinox VN5640315BK?

The VN5640315BK has a 6.00-inch blade with an overall length of 11.50 inches. The narrow straight profile keeps the blade tip precise and responsive without the width of a standard boning knife getting in the way on tight cuts. At approximately 2.40 oz, it is light enough for extended use without hand fatigue, and the Fibrox handle's ergonomic taper keeps grip consistent through long butchering sessions.

What is the difference between the Victorinox Straight Narrow and the Narrow Flex boning knife?

Both knives share the same Swiss-made high carbon stainless blade steel, NSF-certified Fibrox handle, 15-degree hollow grind, and 6-inch narrow profile. The difference is blade flexibility. The Straight Narrow (VN5640315BK) is rigid -- the blade holds its line, making it the right choice for flat precision work: fish fillets, chicken breasts, tenderloins, silverskin removal. The Narrow Flex (VN6841315) has enough give to bend around bone contours -- the right choice for hip joints, shoulder sockets, rib cages, and wild game processing. At $21.95 vs. $37.99, the Straight Narrow is also the more affordable entry into the Victorinox Fibrox Pro boning lineup.

Product Description

The Benchmade Grizzly Creek 15062 is Benchmade's premium wood-handled hunting folder — CPM-S30V stainless in a satin finish, 3.48-inch drop point blade, Dymondwood handle, and AXIS Lock, for hunters and outdoorsmen who want production-knife reliability and a steel appropriate for field dressing with the aesthetic warmth of a wood-handled knife.

The blade is CPM-S30V, Crucible's benchmark production stainless that defined the modern premium knife steel standard. CPM-S30V delivers an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance — holding a working edge through a full field dressing session and resisting the blood, fat, and organic acids that accelerate surface rust on lower-grade stainless. It sharpens efficiently on a ceramic rod or fine whetstone, making it straightforward to touch up in camp between uses. The drop point profile concentrates the belly for skinning strokes while keeping the tip strong for controlled field dressing cuts. Dymondwood handle scales are resin-stabilized wood laminate — moisture-resistant and field-durable while retaining the visual grain and warmth of natural wood that distinguishes this knife from synthetic-handled alternatives. AXIS Lock deploys and closes one-handed from either side.

Ships same or next business day from Knifeworks in Columbia, Louisiana.
