Can it cut through bones like pig ribs or pork chops?

as a chef i can tell you NEVER try to cut bone with a deli slicer, DANGEROUS and will dill the blade with just one use! You need a heavy duty meat saw(similar to a bandsaw, for carpenters), dont use this machine for this purpose , william olsen- willyobiker@yahoo.com

Probably Not ! While it does a nice job on meats vegies etc... I wouldn't use it for bones. Someone answered use a metal grinder would probably be the best answer for what you want to do

I'm not sure about bone, because I use it to cut wood which it works very well for. A friend of mines is saying that wood is a lot like bone which I'm not too sure of; but she seems to think so based on a television show she watches called "Bones". So if bone, animal bone I hope you really are referring to is anything like wood which you might know; then yes it would be. Creepy thing to post around Halloween though, or appropriate... LOL! : )

This knife is sharp and it will cut anything but it is designed to remove meat from a bone.May I suggest you look at the Voctorinox chegs knife for cutting boneless chicken as it has multple uses as well. I hope this helps.

Does a great job for grinding meat. Not sure about bones...will possibly dull the blades.

Not very quickly. The blades are very flexible and cut meat very well, unless you have to use any significant pressure. I don't believe I would try to cut any hard bones.

It pretty much will cut thru anything with ease. It is necessary to keep it honed with a steel and i have it professionaly sharpened every month.I actually have a boning and butcher knife i use for specific tasks.

I purchased this grinder to do the same thing. I've had no trouble at all with chickens, bones and all. The manufacturer says it will handle turkey and rabbit bones and all. It is very heavy-duty and powerful. Though I haven't tried anything but chicken yet, I have no doubt it will work. I put the meat/bones through twice. Once with the large-hole die and once with the small-hole. You have to clean the bone pieces out to keep the meat moving through efficiently, but you'd have that with any grinder. I love this grinder and would buy it again.

I have not tried slicing any meat type items -however ham would not work at all because of the size limitation of the slicer (appoximently 2" wide) Sausage would be linited to something hard enough to hold its shape as it was sliced Peporoni would proably work - Hard salami would be too wide for the slicer

Interesting question. I generally would not suggest cutting thru chicken bone at all. It's best to cut around and between the joints. I would need to know more specifics of which bone u are trying to cut thru and the application to give you the correct answer.

Never tried it myself. But, the Messermeister website says that they can handle all poultry bones. (http://www.messermeister.com/9-Inch-Italian-Poultry-Shears-117/)

I'm sorry I only use mine to slice chicken breast for my dogs it's great for me. By looking at it I would say yes but can't say for sure.

I did not try any of my ceramic knifes on meat, because from what I know the blade can chip if it hits the bone. I prefer not to risk damaging the blade even with boneless chunks of meat. However meat itself is soft enough for ceramic knifes, so technically it can be used to cut it.

Have not tried to chop meat however it probably would work. The blades are extremely sharp you might try a "hard meat" like Salami first.

I have never tried to cut a bone with it....I imagine it would work on the smaller bones or down the back. I think otherwise you need a cleaver.

This is a big heavy cleaver for chopping thru bones. I use a chef knife on galanga, but your knife has to be sharp. The cleaver could do the job easily but it would be hard to thinly slice.

Yes it would. I use it to slice turkey, roast beefs, hams, Giant Hero's, basically anything.
