Opinel Intempora Boning Knife No. 222 – Full Tang, Swedish Stainless Steel

This boning knife is a beast. The blade is razor-sharp out of the box and holds an edge well. I've used it on whole chickens and roasts, and it makes the work effortless. The full tang gives it great balance, and the handle is comfortable. At $45, it's a steal.

The blade is excellent—sharp and sturdy. I've used it for deboning pork and it performed flawlessly. The only issue is the handle: it's a bit slippery when my hands are greasy. A slightly textured handle would be better. Still, a great value.

I've been looking for a good boning knife, and this one is perfect. It feels solid, the steel is high quality, and it cuts through meat like butter. I love that it's full tang. Highly recommend for any home cook.

This knife is incredibly sharp and precise. It works well for boning, but it's not as flexible as some other boning knives. That might be good for some tasks, but I prefer a little flex. Overall, satisfied.

The knife is okay, but the blade didn't stay sharp as long as I hoped. It's comfortable to hold, but I've had better. For the price, it's acceptable, but I expected more from Opinel.

I've used many boning knives, and this one ranks at the top. The Swedish steel is amazing—it holds an edge and is easy to sharpen. The full tang gives confidence, and the handle is elegant. This will be my go-to knife for meat prep.

The blade is razor sharp and the balance is good. However, the handle is bare wood and arrived a bit dry. I applied mineral oil and it looks better. Overall, a nice knife for the price.
