I use a boning knife pretty much for everything when I’m butchering meat because I’ve been using it for so long that it’s like an extension of my hand. There might be other tools that would work as well, but this is what I learned on. It’s great for working around the bone and for following the sinew, as well as for working in other tight places, whereas the butcher’s knife is better for longer cuts, like portioning servings.
