    What Are Boning and Fillet Knives Used For?

    Boning Knife

    What are boning knives used for? Like Cleavers, boning knives have tough, sturdy blades that cut through meat, tendons, tissues and ligaments. Their rigid design makes it easier to separate meat from the bone.

    Fillet Knife

    Fillet knives are lighter and more flexible, allowing you to carefully debone and scale small fish. The long, narrow blade navigates around the fish's skeleton.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I choose between a boning knife and a fillet knife?

    Boning knives can tackle various cuts of meat, including beef, pork and chicken. Fillet knives have thin, flexible designs that make them ideal for scaling and deboning fish. If you need to cut through small bones, invest in a butcher knife.

    What is the best material for fillet knives?

    High-carbon stainless steel is the best material for fillet knives. This sturdy, flexible material is easy to sharpen.
