Method of deboning of a carcass leg part of a four legged slaughter animal, for removing meat from a bone of the carcass leg part, the method comprising the subsequent steps of: a) holding, by a support device (6, 206), of the leg part by the lower end of the bone, or by a still lower part of the leg such as a foot, b) moving a meat removing device (16, 216) into a pre-cut, towards the bone, to a first starting position of the meat removing device (16, 216), which pre-cut is a cut made along the circumference of the bone at, or at least near, a lower end of the bone so as to sever muscle fibers, c) executing by means of the meat removing device (16, 216) a first meat removing movement from the first starting position in a meat removing direction away from the support device (6, 206) along the bone to a first end position so that meat is removed from the bone, d) moving the meat removing device (16, 216) away from the bone, wherein meat which is in contact with the meat removing device (16, 216) is forced away from the bone and severs further meat from the bone, f) moving the meat removing device (16, 216) towards the bone to a second starting position, and g) executing by means of the meat removing device (16, 216) a second meat removing movement from the second starting position in the meat removing direction away from the support device (6, 206) along the bone to a second end position distanced further from the support device (6, 206) than the first end position so that further meat is removed from the bone, characterized in that, in between steps d) and f), the method comprises the step of: e) moving the meat removing device (16, 216) in a reposition direction towards the support device (6, 206). a) holding, by a support device (6, 206), of the leg part by the lower end of the bone, or by a still lower part of the leg such as a foot, b) moving a meat removing device (16, 216) into a pre-cut, towards the bone, to a first starting position of the meat removing device (16, 216), which pre-cut is a cut made along the circumference of the bone at, or at least near, a lower end of the bone so as to sever muscle fibers, c) executing by means of the meat removing device (16, 216) a first meat removing movement from the first starting position in a meat removing direction away from the support device (6, 206) along the bone to a first end position so that meat is removed from the bone, d) moving the meat removing device (16, 216) away from the bone, wherein meat which is in contact with the meat removing device (16, 216) is forced away from the bone and severs further meat from the bone, f) moving the meat removing device (16, 216) towards the bone to a second starting position, and g) executing by means of the meat removing device (16, 216) a second meat removing movement from the second starting position in the meat removing direction away from the support device (6, 206) along the bone to a second end position distanced further from the support device (6, 206) than the first end position so that further meat is removed from the bone, characterized in that, in between steps d) and f), the method comprises the step of: e) moving the meat removing device (16, 216) in a reposition direction towards the support device (6, 206).
