I have been using a Chicago cutlery boning knife for years now to cut up chicken. Is there a Japanese type of knife that is similar to do a similar job?
Thanks

A honesuki is the japanese boning knife, or garasuki which is bigger version

I beleive that all Honesuki's and Garasuki's are stiff, not flexible like most if not all euro boning knives. I have a Honesuki and like the stiffness. Most Honesuki's are around the 6" or 150mm mark. A Garasuki I think is around the 7.25 inch or 180mm mark.

I still use my old CC boning knife (62S?) as my fruit knife. That's "boning" for pseudo-vegetarians, I guess. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
