What People Talk About Boning Knives »

My boning knife is about 6" long, very thin and very pliable, meaning the knife bends to follow along a bone when cutting a section of meat out, or boning a chicken.
My carving knives are very long, the blades are probably about 18" long and maybe an inch wide. I would use this to carve a large piece of meat into serving slices.
So a boning knife is just that, to remove the bones from a piece of meat, the carving knife slices large pieces into slices.

  they look the same but the carving knife is longer for nice slices. and a boning knife is shorter to take apart a chicken. if you used a carving knife for it. it would be likely to cut yourself

  if you go to the bottom of the page you'll see the boning knife is only 5 inches http://www.great-lakes.org/reviews/revie w-07-02-07.html

As usual western boning knives are anywhere form 5 to 8". Which will work best for you is pretty much 100% your preferences. Although, as you get more skilled you might prefer longer blades.

BTW, if you're looking for poultry knife you might want to consider Honesuki - Japanese cousin of the boning knife. For poultry it does work better, like this one - http://zknives.com/knives/kitchen/ktknv/ indexbyst.shtml?Honesuki

Now, forged vs. stamped. It's one of the most common knife myths.
The only time when forged is clearly better than stamped knife is if yu compare 100$ forged knife to 5$ POS knife. Otherwise, if you have a stamped knife from a reputable manufacturer, it is impossible to tell the difference in performance.
Global knives are stamped. Yet they outcut and outlast forged Henckels and Wusthofs anytime, by a good margin. Besides forging today isn't what a lot of people imagine, there is no blacksmith pounding the hot steel bar. It's all automated anyway and the process is mixed. Certain parts are laser cut, others drop forged, etc. Hard to draw a clear line.
For testing purposes I did buy same knife from Global, in forged and stamped version.
Stamped - http://www.zknives.com/knives/kitchen/kt knv/global/glog61.shtml
Forged - http://www.zknives.com/knives/kitchen/kt knv/global/glogf33.shtml
The only thing I got with the forged knife was its extra weight. Which isn't that much of e benefit except for very specific knives. Sharp chef's knife doesn't need too much weight, it's not supposed to chop bones or anything.

In short, if it's a good knife from reputable maker it doesn't matter whether it's forged or stamped. If I couldn't find difference with specially conducted cutting and sharpness measurements tests, it's very unlikely you'll feel any difference in the kitchen.

• Thing also said:
  Forged knives are usually more durable than stamped knives.

I will tell you.....your can spend a lot of money on fancy knives and such....I have used several kinds of knives......and the easiest one to use that I have found is a 15 dollar fillet knife I got at wal-mart in the fishing section.....I use my larger hunting knife to help quater and skin but that fillet knife is the best for boning and cutting up the meat.....at least for me.... For piercing harder skinned fruits and veggies for slicing and cutting. For example: Tomatoes slice much easier and more evenly if pierced first then slice at the pierced point....
