I got my boning and skinning knives in a box of junk knives at a auction for like $3 years ago. The boning knife is 6" and has been sharpen so much that it has a curve to the blade, don't know the make, its not on the knife. It could be hand made, as there was a well known knife maker in this town. It holds a good edge and takes just a few strokes on a steel to sharpen. Zeak
