boning knife
Meat separation tool
A boning knife is a kitchen knife with a narrow, sharp blade designed for separating meat from bone.
The blade is typically 5 to 7 inches long and may be stiff or flexible depending on whether it's used for beef and pork or for poultry and fish.
The thin profile allows the knife to work close to bones and joints while minimizing waste.
She used a boning knife to debone the chicken thighs before grilling.
