My husband and I have really been debating what kind of knife would be 'the best' for the killing cut (we've decided that slitting the throat is our prefered method of killing) and then butchering.
We've gotten the job done, but feel that there's room for improvment when it comes to the tools we're using.
We live very rural, not too many options for shopping besides Wal-Mart and I haven't been impressed with their knife selection.
I hesitate to buy online without product plugs from 'real' people. That and I honestly just don't know exactly what I want yet in a knife. I have found that for gutting I like a fairly short, sharp and sturdy knife. I'm still debating what is best for quartering (a big butcher knife?), and we need a better knife for the killing cut (been using a shop box cutter razor).
If y'all could share with me what you use and why you like it I sure would appreciate it!
