I am looking to upgrade my butchering equipment. Knives are the first on the list.
What are your favorite brands ?

victorinox. You can buy a lot pricier but unless you want to try impress someone there is no reason to.

I bought my Victorinox based on their recommendations a few years ago and love them. I skin and butcher with the same knife. I use a 6" semi-stiff curved boning knife.


Eh...wot?

I got a favorite old Chicago knife I use for every day. My son is a Meat cutter for living so all best knives we have here he bought guy supplies them at work. Which is what Danny says above.

Old Hickory. I may be old school, but there's something about using wooden handled knives with high carbon blades.

I like the 7-7 old hickory , it is 1095 steel and holds and edge longer than several other kinves I have tried

I skinned a cow with it erlier this year

I like the 5 inch semi stiff curved boning knife , I have been buying the LEM branded ones which are mundial from farm and fleet , they work I keep thinking of getting the victonox 5 inch boning knife but haven't worn these out yet

5 even though I am a big guy with xxl hands just feels better I have a 6 also and I feel like I loose the detail

those 2 and a saw are most of what I use

the Dexter diamond steel is what I wouldn't be without


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

victrinox are great i use the 5in boning knife as well as a smaller one think its 3.5in. i also have a knife i made out of an old longspring i have laying around and its works well also. i also got some cheap bait knives they had for 2 bucks one day at walmart not even sure of the brand but i tell you what for what i call a throwaway knife they are great once you put your own edge on the blade. also i dont feel as bad when the kids or buddies help and they run them on bone constantly.

It took me the better part of two years but I finally completed my collection of the old style, still-made-in-USA Chicago Cutlery knives. the S series with High carbon SS blades, walnut scales and brass rivets. I built a nice walnut knife block to house them all.

Their 72S model is nearly identical to the Victorinox 6" semi-stiff boning knife that has become my favorite deer skinning/butchering knife.

I keep the Chicago Cutlery set at camp.


Eh...wot?

Nothing wrong with Dexter Russel, Forshner, or F.Dick.

That set that Horn puts together will do anything you need, Have bought many sets and given them to family and friends. Those that have them now know what a GOOD knife is!!
