Title: Butchering kit
Post by: Elkrunner 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?

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

Post by: Caseyd on November 12, 2013, 07:59:56 PM: Ive had the kit for 3 years and have butchered 10+ deer with it.

Knives are adequate, can get through 2 deer before sharpening is required to be as sharp as I like. 10 minutes with the lansky and back in action.

I would like another butcher knife though as there are usually a couple of us butchering together.

Post by: Tbar on November 12, 2013, 08:08:15 PM: The outdoor edge is a great set. I also have a couple butcher knives (i think they are dexter) I bought at dicks restaurant supply that I really like. The biggest difference maker for me was getting a hook and learning to use it. :twocents:
