Other knives were developed for specific purposes; a cleaver, one of the first knives to be developed, is used to cut through animal meat and bone. In some places, particularly Asia, they are also used for chopping food and making decorative creations to adorn a plate or platter.
A filleting knife is used to remove the skin from fish or sinew from meat. Because of its tapering shape and very thin point, it is also useful in slicing fish or meat into very thin slices in preparation for stir-fry or tartare.
