Even trainee chefs carry their own knife bags with them as an integral part of their uniforms when they're working in kitchens. A typical trainee might have a Chef's knife, carving knife, meat fork, boning knife and a peeler in their knife rolls as well as many other gadgets and tools. Boning knives come in various sizes and widths. There are flexible boning knives and stiff ones too that are used for different types of meat. Fish and poultry need more flexible and gentler handling from boning knives because the flesh is more delicate, sometimes it's worth swapping to a longer fillet knife instead. A tenderloin or boned leg of lamb will benefit more from a stronger and wider boning knife.
