The Inked Series 18cm Boning & Trimming Knife is a non-flexible 7” knife designed for meat preparation, trimming and working around joints and connective tissue. Its firm blade profile provides the stability you want from a dedicated boning and trimming knife, while the compact 18cm length keeps the knife practical for detailed preparation.
The blade features 45-layer Damascus steel with an AUS-10 core, finished with the distinctive Inked Damascus pattern. A resin handle completes the design, giving this specialist meat-preparation knife the bold look of the Inked Series.

The Inked Series 18cm Boning & Trimming Knife is designed for trimming meat, preparing large cuts and working around joints, fat and connective tissue. Its non-flexible blade is suited to cooks who prefer a firm, stable blade for controlled trimming rather than a flexible boning knife.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Inked Series 18cm Boning & Trimming Knife best used for?
The Inked Series Boning & Trimming Knife features an AUS-10 steel core with 45-layer Damascus construction. AUS-10 is known for its combination of hardness, edge retention, corrosion resistance and ability to take a fine edge. The Damascus construction creates the blade's distinctive layered pattern.
What are the benefits of AUS-10 steel in the Inked Series Boning & Trimming Knife?
The Inked Series Boning & Trimming Knife features an AUS-10 steel core with 45-layer Damascus construction. AUS-10 is known for its combination of hardness, edge retention, corrosion resistance and ability to take a fine edge. The Damascus construction creates the blade's distinctive layered pattern.
Is the Inked Series 18cm Boning & Trimming Knife suitable for home cooks or professional chefs?
The knife is suitable for both serious home cooks and professional kitchens. Its rigid 18cm blade is designed for controlled trimming, deboning and portioning, making it useful for anyone who regularly prepares meat and wants a dedicated boning and trimming knife.
Does the Damascus pattern wear off over time?
No. The Damascus pattern is created by the layered steel construction rather than being printed or applied as a surface design. Normal use will not simply remove the pattern, although the blade surface can change over time through sharpening, polishing, wear or corrosion if the knife is not properly maintained.
What is the return or warranty policy for this knife?
Chef Supply Co stands by its products and all Chef Supply Co branded products are backed by our limited lifetime warranty. Products not branded Chef Supply Co only carry a 12 month warranty unless the otherwise advised by the manufacturer.
We cover any faults of materials or workmanship at our discretion.
Can this knife cut through bones or frozen foods?
We recommend using a cleaver or specialty knife for bones or frozen items. Using a standard kitchen knife may damage the blade.
Is this knife dishwasher-safe?
We recommend handwashing to protect the blade’s edge and maintain the handle’s integrity. Dishwashers can dull the blade and damage the handle over time.
How should I sharpen this knife?
You can use a whetstone, honing rod, or professional sharpener. Regular honing maintains the edge, while sharpening restores it when dull.
What’s the best way to store this knife?
Store it in a knife block, magnetic strip, blade guard, or sheath to keep the edge protected and prevent accidents.
