Best meat cutting knife ???

[johnsd16]

Agree with others on the fillet knife. I have a couple rapala ones and a forschner that I use for boning and cutting too. For the trimming etc I like very flexible and razor sharp. I will cut steaks with it too but for the slicing I will often use my dexter beaver knife, also kept razor sharp for beaver mainly.

The Victorinox is the way to go. The reviews on Amazon for the Victorinox 47513 6-Inch Flex Boning Knife should tell you a lot.

this is a great thread. I use victorinox - forshner as well. they seem to hold an edge well and are easy to sharpen. I have a few repala filets laying around that I only look at in the summer. I will have to try them out as they hold an edge good as well. Once again great thread and thanks for the info.

I really like my Old Hickory knives.

Good sturdy knives and very easy to sharpen.

The sharpest knife of choice is best!

I second the Forschner or Victorinox boning knife. They also make a nice little paring knife that only costs about 6$. We used to get the worn out boning knives from the local butcher that my sister worked for. Then later I used the paring knives for skinning and thinning the nose, eyes, ears and lips when doing taxidermy. I carry the paring knives in the field now, they work great for caping the head and boning meat out.

Very nice, looks like I will need a paring knife too.

I know two butchers and they have a preference towards a 6" boning knife. If you type 6" boning knife into Ebay, you'll see a whole slew of 6" knives...

The highest rated kitchen knife set on Consumer Reports with the best reader feedback is the Wustoff Trident Classic set of 8 knives of various types ($380). One 5-star review came from a full-time chef.

Not cheap but you can also find some of the individual knives for less. Make sure you don't put your high-quality knives through the dishwasher.

We have a set for kitchen knives and that's about all they get used for is cutting stuff already cooked or boneless. Kind of baby stuff when it starts costing that much.

Check out the Dexter Russell's with the white handle and stainless blades.Commercially cut fish for years and we all used them.Very reasonably priced,easy to clean,and lasts for a long time.

These are what I use most of the time. That's what most of the folks at the meat science center at the school used.

I agree with Team Kabob and also use the Forschner. It's very light weight and with the addition of a KnifeSafe I carry it in my pack for boning out Elk. I also carry a Lansky Quick Fix sharpener when it gets the least bit dull. Combined these weigh less than a traditional hunting knife and can all your skinning and boning needs.

This year I was looking for a similar to knife to what you had been describing. I ended up going to a nice kitchen store in my area and selected a "Zwilling Pro" 5.5 inch boning knife. It's a great knife! I used to debone and complete most of the butchering on an elk and three mule deer this year, and I never needed to sharpen the knife. I was very impressed to say the least. I will take it in to get sharpened now, but it could honestly probably do another deer without too much trouble. However, it came with a steep price tag, I got it on sale for $90.

I have a friend who has the used Victorinox boning knife, and really likes it as well. It does need to be sharpened more frequently than my Zwilling does, but for the price its a great knife. Either way you will likely be happy, a good boning knife makes a huge difference.
