can you fillet chix breast with this knife

No, this is the wrong kind of knife for that - it is perfect for cutting tomatoes and citrus. Serrated edges wouldn't work well with chicken breasts. You need a boning knife for that, like this one: J. A Henckels International Classic 5.5-Inch Stainless Steel Boning Knife

It's pretty sharp, but I really can't answer this. I've never tried to fillet a chix breast with it.

if it was the only knife you had, you could. like k.fowle stated the boning knife is it.

NO. this is a serrated edge. It's also called a utility knife. I use it mainly to cut tomatoes and fruit/vegetables . I also use it more than anything to cut sandwiches.

I don't believe it's meant for all the bones in the chicken. I've only ever seen them used for spatch-cocking where the ribs along the spine are cut to remove the spine. If you're cutting at joints: you should be using a metal knife (do a video search for an easy technique). Regarding the suggestion of Cutco in another answer: just compare the reviews and prices. Cutco is a joke which is why you never see a Chef wielding Cutco, and why they're sold and marketed the way they are.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! This is sharp and heavy. Sharper than any of your dinner knives! Not a TOY

No - just carefully cut one out yourself with a really sharp craft knife. Buy it - you will love it. I am so happy with it and everyone who has seen it thinks it looks fantastic.

Yes, once the Spine (back) of the knife is squared off enough and not rounded, yes you can, I do. You don't want to use the blade edge unless you have to. It will dull the edge.

Hi. I'd probably use the French Chefs knife for those kinds of things. It has a thicker spine than most of the other knives and it's long enough to deal with the bigger veges like the butternut squash.

I like it for cutting meat since I keep it really sharp. But the edge is fairly thin so I am either very careful or use a boning knife around bones.

I did chicken breast with no issue. Chicken is low in fat so there never really seems to be a problem. I sometimes run into issues when I am grinding hit fat content pork because the fat gets tangled in the blade and I have to stop and clear it out. I would still recommend this product though.

no it can not....it is made for kitchen knives.....honestly i would never buy this product again, its too small for my hand(I have size XL hands)

No, because that would dull it considerable, and probably lower the temper in the blade due to excessive heat. The blade is much thinner than a conventional kitchen knife.

I got this knife, primarily because Cooks Illustrated recommended it. And, to be honest, i haven't used it very much. This is not a fault with the knife, just haven't done that much with meat over the past few months. The knife seems comfortable to handle and sturdy. My opinion, based solely on instinct, is that i would prefer this straight bladed knife for boning. But then again, maybe i just need to be schooled in the appropriate technique for using a curved blade. Sorry i couldn't be more definitive.

No, and its piranta, the Fillet blade don't fit on the Piranta knife. The fillet blade is longer than the Piranta kmife.

It's only around 4 inches wide so I would say no, unless it was a small cabbage and you quartered it before slicing. I wouldn't purchase this item it's very cheaply made particularly when you look at the price. When you bare down to slice it varies the thickness of the material you're cutting. I ultimately discarded the item is being useless.

Yes I can. The scissor is very sharp and shredded variety of foods needed for my baby. The only tricky part was the cleaning of the blade.

Yes ! The narrow blade makes handling the partially frozen breast so easy. Always part frozen to firm up the meat

I don't know since I use mine strictly for making sausage from soft tissue only. The cutting blades are excellent, however, I wouldn't recommend ever putting chicken bones in any food stuff simply for safety reasons. The reason I say this, is that even after cooking chicken bone with heavy steam, it is still a danger for choking and risk of soft tissue tear in the digestive system.

You could but probably wouldn't want to because a knife will leave marks. I would recommend you add a separate cutting board.
