The Caribou 12cm Curved Flexible Boning is a French-made butchery knife from Coutellerie Dassaud Fils. The curved blade follows bone and joint closely, and the flexible temper bends with the work to lift meat away cleanly. At 12cm it is a short, highly controllable knife for close work on smaller cuts. The Ultragrip handle is the range's heavy-duty option: a bi-material grip with a textured, pimpled surface that holds fast when wet and greasy, which is where a smooth handle starts to turn in the hand.
