I've googled this word and I've seen this knife, it looks like a kitchen knife.
Can anyone tell me what is it used for and why is it called boning. You don't have to go into etimology, I just need to know the function of this knife, is it sth special or just an ordinary knife?
Thanks

Hello again!
Well, it's a sharp kitchen knife, used to separate flesh from bones (hence the name), used by killers to maim their victims? Smile [:)]

:) Of course, that is it's main function in THE book. I just needed it because in Croatian there is only a kitchen knife, there is no term for boning knife, as far as I know, so I have to use descriptive ''equivalent''
Thank you pieanne
