Best Answer

A boning knife is a type of kitchen knife with a sharp point and narrow blade. It is used in food preparation for removing the bones of poultry, meat, and fish. Generally 12 cm to 17 cm (5 to 6 ½ inches) in length, it features a very narrow blade. A stiff boning knife is good for boning beef and pork, but a very flexible boning knife is preferred for poultry and fish.

A Chef's knife and a Cook's knife are basically the same shaped knives with their only exception being their size.

Chef's knives are typically larger in size to fit larger hands. A Cook's knife is proportionately smaller in size and is often referred to as an "all purpose knife" as it will generally fit most people's hands.

A Chef knife has a curved cutting edge to allow a rocking action when chopping herbs, vegetables, meat etc. the Santoku knife has a straight cutting edge.
