Many of our hunting knives handle every job on a hunt. The Blackfoot built its reputation on that. But hides are brutal on an edge, and stopping midway through an animal to sharpen a blade just isn’t ideal. If you can carry more than one knife on your hunt, you should.

That’s why we made the Field Boning Knife.

This is the blade you reach for once the hide is off and it’s time to pull meat clean off the bone. It’s big enough to bone out any big game animal but small enough that you don’t think twice before throwing it in your pack.

(Don’t let the smaller size fool you, though. It’s still perfectly capable on the processing table back home.)

For those of you who run the boneless method, stripping meat in the field and leaving the bones behind, this is the blade you want in your pack.

MAGNACUT STAINLESS STEEL

As a cryogenically heat-treated stainless steel, MagnaCut provides the perfect blend of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance.

That mix matters most on a boning blade that spends its season wet. Unlike other stainless steel blades, MagnaCut knives can be easily resharpened, even by novice knife owners. We coat the blade in a stonewash finish for added scratch resistance.

Learn more about MagnaCut stainless steel from its creator, Larrin Thomas.
BUILT FOR THE BONELESS METHOD

A trailing point blade built for boning out big game.

Run the edge along the bone, pull each cut free and whole, and slide it straight into your game bags. The bones stay in the field.

This isn’t a skinner, though, and it isn’t a pry bar. The hide and the heavy work are best suited for a stouter blade.

PINCH GRIP SCALLOP FOR TIP CONTROL

Two grips, two levels of control.

Hunters love using a pinch grip for finer work, so we shaped a scallop into the blade. Pinch it between your thumb and forefinger for added control on more detailed cuts.

For standard grip, the tight integrated guard keeps your fingers from riding up on the blade.

COMPOSITE HANDLE

Grip that holds from the first cut to the last game bag.

Deboning is wet work, and composite doesn’t care. The handle scales won’t absorb blood or moisture, and they keep their grip whether your hands are bare or gloved up in cold weather.
EXCLUSIVE MKC KYDEX SHEATH

Each Field Boning Knife comes with a custom MKC Kydex sheath.

The sheath features a built-in retention screw to customize blade tension and allow for handle-down carrying. The Field Boning sheath comes with a Kydex clip that allows you to carry your knife on a pack or belt loop, either horizontally or vertically.

    Not for me

    I work as a professional butch and use both the breaking and boning MKC knives as my everyday tools and decided to give field boning knife a try as a replacement for my Victorinox 5 in straight boning knife. While the quality is unsurpassed in all of MKC's products this knife is just not the right tool for the job of a full time butcher in my opinion. I have medium sized hands and even so found the handle to be far to small and narrow for maintaining a proper grip and after prolonged use found it very fatiguing, the blade while able to maintain an amazing edge for multiple days before needing retouching has no flex and thus hard to stay in full contact with the curves of hip and aitch bones. I would prefer a straighter blade to be able to maintain where the tip is at all times, a feature I believe would help with a field boning knife that might be used in the darkness or lowlight conditions after a successful hunt. While I believe this is an amazing addition to the MKC line for the average hunter who is looking for a lightweight blade to take to the field that will get the job done I don't feel this knife is proper in the professional setting.
