For years Mundial has labeled these knives as boning knives, but they worked best as produce knives. Mundial now advertises them as produce knives, though the packaging on some knives may still have them listed as boning.
The Mundial 5500 Series is a line of cutlery specifically designed for the food processing industry. Made from high-carbon stainless steel for increased durability, 5500 Series knives have a hardness between 54 and 57 HRC. All 5500 Series knives are NSF approved, meeting all foodservice industry standards for sanitation.
5500 Series knives and accessories have Sanitized brand antimicrobial protection, which is the safe treatment of the polypropylene handles to guard against the growth of bacteria, yeast, mold and fungi. During the manufacturing process, Sanitized additives are incorporated directly into the knife handles.
The Mundial 5500 Series knives also feature unique tracking numbers stamped on each blade.
