Butchering kit
« on: November 12, 2013, 03:14:21 PM »
Who has the outdoor edge butchering kit?  How does it preform?  I want to get me a great set of knives for next year.  After doing 4 deer and and elk this year, I think I need some better quality knives.  Any recommendations?

Go buy a butcher knife.  It sounds sarcastic, but in all honesty you are better of buying a butcher knife designed for a butcher (not an outdoorsman).  The steel is better and you will be happy in the long run.  The cost is likely better also.

Outdoor edge kit works fine. I do 10-20 animals a year with mine. I have 2 sets.

Me too.  A butcher friend gave me one and now I wouldn't go back to using normal knives.

Forschner makes some fine butcher/boning knives.
