Those paring knives work great

Using for years in conjunction with the skinning inives

I use victoronix in my kitchen knives too

I have used most knife styles and brands over the years and while I still carry a few different ones on most hunts I find myself using a Victorinox 3-1/4” paring knife with the red or black handle 90% of the time ( https://www.katom.com/037-40601.html ). They are cheap, easy to sharpen, hold a reasonable edge, and are fairly rugged. Separating joints is more about delicacy than chopping and prying with this knife but they do the job well. I broke down and fleshed 3 bears and an elk with the same knife this year and it still looks new.

For home butchering I have a set of 3 Victorinox that I use most, a boning knife, 7” butcher similar to the first post, and a 8” butcher similar to this https://www.webstaurantstore.com/victorinox-47533-8-butcher-knife-with-granton-edge-and-fibrox-handle/35347533.html , it has been sharpened to the flutes but still is easy to sharpen and cuts well.

I have always loved knives, and my kids are following along.  I don’t have many expensive ones, but many quality cutting implements. I might have to start a new thread with pictures of knife collections.

 Hard to beat Dexter Russel for the $ .imop. Use a belt type sharpener (work sharp etc. ) for a quick new edge , a hone or a steel for touch ups . Will last most home butchers a long time even with fairly aggressive sharpening .
