How to use a Boning knife

A boning knife comes handy for removing bones of meat, fish, poultry and also to remove skins; as well to cut meat into portions for storing. It has a sharp point with narrow blade which is rigid enough to cut precise chunks but at the same time flexible enough as of to not hit the bones. The grip of a boning knife should be slip-resistant and one should also check for a good-sized bolster which prevent the fingers from slipping into the blade edge while using the knife on fish or poultry.

One has to be careful on how to use a boning knife and to do so, it is advisable to hold the boning knife with four fingers curled around the handle; while the thumb held against the bolster to guide the required cutting action.
