The Outdoor Edge Vantex 5" Boning Knife delivers precision filleting and butchering performance with its flexible blade design optimized for working around bones and joints. This professional-grade knife features Japanese AUS-8 stainless steel construction that maintains its edge through extended processing sessions.
What Makes This Different
The Vantex series incorporates a strategically flexible blade that bends without breaking, allowing hunters and anglers to follow bone contours with minimal meat waste. Unlike rigid boning knives that require excessive force and create jagged cuts, the Vantex blade flexes up to 25 degrees while maintaining structural integrity. The ergonomic handle provides secure grip even when wet, reducing hand fatigue during extended processing tasks.
Key Features
- 5-inch flexible blade made from Japanese AUS-8 stainless steel

Field testing demonstrates the Vantex maintains cutting performance through multiple deer, elk, and large fish processing sessions. The blade flexibility proves essential when working around rib cages, separating joints, and following natural meat seams. Commercial processors and hunting guides rely on this knife for consistent results in both controlled environments and field conditions. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion from blood and moisture exposure.
