I like at least 2 or 3 different blades for butchering. I have a big chefs knife that I use for cutting steaks and I use a smaller filet style to debone. The picture with this post has the knife I like for steaking and cutting up large chunks of meat. The picture was where I was cutting up prime rib roasts into ribeye steaks. I have several knife set I got from RMEF that I use too.

I've processed elk with no more than a large butcher knife that we used every day in the kitchen.
But when I grew up I got a fantastic set of Gerber kitchen knifes. They hold a edge and fit my hands. The large butcher knife makes quick work of a boneless backstrap. For getting around the bones the set also has a nice filet knife.
You don't need much but they need to be sharp.

I like sharp! I use just a plane ol straight blade kitchen butcher knife and a thin blade filet knife for everything. I sharpen both and is all I’ve needed.

PM me your address and I'll send you a set. I bought the big knife in pictures at a kitchen supply store that had a knife section.

Check out Chicago Cutry, but I like to hold a knife in my hand before I buy it

Sounds like CC's deal cannot be matched....but i really like the outdoor edge game processing kit.
When it comes to processing at home honestly I use a fillet knife more than anything else. A few social accounts I follow that cut up a LOT of meat, big game and beef use that as their primary tool. So follow the pros I suppose.

Yup. Hard to beat an easily sharpened, ever so slightly flexible blade.

I was able to snag a couple old knives my grandfather had after he passed away. He had a butcher shop in town and a slaughter house out in the country where we lived. I remember him having a lot of Forschner knives.

I love old knives. They are mostly high carbon steel and take and hold an edge really well. They do rust tho. I have a couple too as my uncle was a butcher too.
