Recommend a Butchering Knife Set

[trowt]

For waterfowl and other upland birds, you want a semi-flex boning knife to get a nice clean cut for the breast meat?

This, in 5-6", is all you need for anything up to a moose as well.

Another vote for Victorinox. I have the 6" stiff boning knife with fibrox handle (non-slip) I got from my local Home Hardware. Affordable. Flexible version as well.
This one: https://www.paulsfinest.com/Victorin...ife-40511.html
Does a great job from working on those quarters once home to serving the roast on the table.
Done 5 deer so far no complaints.

Our hunting camp all use the Henkels set from Cabela's.. it's on sale this week for $100 which is pretty good value.. comes with 6 knives and a sharpening steel.. we got them cause I used to use these yellow handle ones for general food prep in a restaurant and wore well

As already mentioned above Victorinox or their cheaper line Swibo or Henckels or F. Dick. Use knives that butchers and meat cutters use . Get anti slip handles like Fibrox or similar. F. Dick sharpening steels are the best in the world . I recently tried the yellow handled Henckels steel from Cabelas and was impressed . Light strokes on the steel . Remember a steel technically just realigns the edge after it has turned over . To put an edge on a knife you need a stone medium and fine grit ,get good water stones from a knife outlet or Lee Valley has an awesome selection !

Vicorianox or F Dick are the ones I always saw when I was a meat cutter for 10 years. Both high quality blades, the main difference is the Victorianox has slightly thicker handles and have a bit more texture to the plastic so if you have bigger hands I would recommend Victorianox and if your hands a bit smaller like mine I would recommend F Dick.

Another vote for the victorinox fibro blades. I've done a half dozen deer with them now, but mostly just use the boning knife. The other blades are good for general kitchen use, but if you are just looking for a blade
for cutting meat, a good boning knife will meet most of your needs.

While a good 6 inch flexible boning knife does most of my deer cutting, I use a longer knife for cutting steaks even thickness, or trimming the roasts.
My favourite for cutting steaks is a slender 10 inch Wusthof slicer.

You can buy super sharp flexable boning knives from a good restaurant supply store for cheap. Cheap enough you never spend time sharpening.
