Should I use a boning knife or a fillet knife for my friend's party?

[frozenchef]

So I have a host who has a friend who wants a fillet knife. I said we do have a boning knife and she replies:

"She will not go almost, she said a fillet knife or none at all. "

I've never filleted anything before, so I told her I would check with my fellow consultants - what do we think?

Her party is on Friday, so I was hoping to have some information for her then

The boning knife is great and flexible for filleting in chicken in the kitchen or filleting fish outdoors. I read in the pampered chef forum that a consultant's husband loves the way this knife can skin an entire deer and cut the meat from start to finish.

And if they don't like it, they can return it for a refund!! They should try it out right away and give it a good workout before the first 30 days are up, so they can even get free shipping on returning it if they aren't satisfied.

Is there someone local to you that could let you borrow one so she could try it out?

You could also email the test kitchen and ask them.

Thanks esavvymom - that's what I told the host
I'd offer mine for her to test out, but honestly, I haven't been so great about honing mine it's probably no where near as sharp as a new one...
