YouTube bearded butchers. X 2 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. X3 Works for most everything I need.

the meat hook is a great hand saver , also if your cutting cold meat it keeps your hand warm and away from the blade
diamond steel
2-3 knives
meat hook
you are well set to cut a lot of meat
eventually you want a way to sharpen and rebevel blades I like the worksharp ken onion blade grinder
you probably want a meat grinder I like the LEM big bite #12 3/4hp
some sort of a vaccum packer

Have a complete set with the steel's.
Came from a meat packing plant just North of me.
Their paring knife is a good idea also.

If I see a Old Hickory at a yard sale, and it has not seen a grinder. It comes home with me. Once I have them shaving sharp a stroke or two on the steel keeps me cutting steaks, chops and roasts. I have added Dexter Russel Beaver knife and skinner to my meat processing tool kit. I use the beaver knife a lot on fish.

I have a cousin who has a fish processing business , they use the beaver knives to gut and scrape , it is very fast he has a machine that fillets and debones the whitefish after they are gutted

I figured people would be recommending the 200 dollar a knife stuff. Good to see other people have reached the same conclusion as me. A 200 dollar knife wont do any better of a job than a 40 dollar knife with modern metallurgy and manufacturing. It all comes down to personal preference.

Knives are sort of like cabernet wine.You can taste a huge difference between a $10 bottle and a $40 bottle.However,,the difference between a $40 bottle and a $240 bottle,,,not so much.  Sometimes your just paying more,,,not getting better quality.
