Being soft they respond OK to a bit of bone contact and a steel to get them back but dull quickly with abrasive tasks like skinning and hocking cuts

Exactly my experience with the victornox boning knife I have. You can get it real sharp but will suffer quickly if having to go through hair. Bonus as you point out is if it dulls it's normally just a steel to get it serviceable again. At the end of the day for the price of them you really can't fault them.

@Tahr I've recently brought a Knives of Alaska knife in D2 (Alpha wolf). I have quickly found the handle is probably too small for my hands but suits the Mrs very nicely so it'll be hers. Any recommendations on a similar style but larger? You seem to be a bit of a font of knife knowledge.
