Boning knives are a type of knife that are specifically designed for removing bones from meat, poultry, and fish. They typically have a narrow, flexible blade that is able to make precise cuts close to the bone. Boning knives come in different sizes and styles, depending on the type of animal or fish being worked on.
-Flexible boning knives: These knives have a thin, flexible blade that is able to make precise cuts close to the bone, and are ideal for removing bones from poultry, fish, and small game.
-Semi-Flexible boning knives: These knives have a slightly thicker blade than the flexible boning knives, and are ideal for removing bones from red meats such as pork, beef and lamb.
-Stiff boning knives: These knives have a thick, stiff blade that is able to make precise cuts close to the bone, and are ideal for removing bones from larger game such as deer, elk, and bear.
Boning knives are commonly used in butcher shops, meat processing plants, and by professional chefs. They are also used by hunters and fishermen for processing their own catch.
