Fantastic presentation! I don't see why anyone would have any questions after this video (let alone some of the sometimes odd comments I see). I've not heard of the ham deboner spoon knife @ 3:40. Sometimes we use axes, Petrograd toolworks used to and maybe still does make a butchers axe just for butchery, usually for the dispatching of chickens or small animals of similar size. I get by with my axe which is the next one I will mention. Granfors makes a nice hunters axe just for flaying meat off the hide of large animals. Wastes no fat or meat and don't cut up a hide with marks. Has a rounded flay poll to the back of the axe head. Handy tools. I enjoy mine! Also a set of chain mail gloves and a super long ham slicing knife come in handy, gloves mostly for dispatching certain large and agressive fish and a set of meat hooks for handling subprimals and some primals. Not much else needed except sharpening stones and a ovular Stellite rod, a meat saw and a gambrel.

How much does a knife set cost? What country is it made of? How do I get a set of knives?

[tofazzalhossain]

Hello. Thanks for the video. I just want to know the brand name of the knife set.

What type of angle should the scimitar knife be stoned at? I work at a meat factory. Well Tyson Foods and my job is breaking down rounds and separating the eye round and heel. One knife will only last me 15 minutes to 1 hour if I'm lucky. I really need help on how to maintain my knife for a longer time. If you could please give me any advice I would really appreciate it.

what is the brand of the boning knife?

[MrCantStopTheRobot]

If ya wanna go historical... don't forget the German Messer! Basically a huge kitchen knife. Thanks for that extra big-picture angle.

Aaron, I was inspired watching the rundown you made on the knives. Always the same subject of knives I have a really good friend who lived in the Bahamas and he turned me onto learning to make ceviche with the conch, Long story short I've been watching these videos inspired by the knives these guys use but can't identify for the life of me the type of knife. I thought maybe you could help me it almost looks like your biggest of the "breaking knives" I believe you called it. If you look at the videos they do using the Trinity to make the Bahamian salad you'll notice they all use this type of knife. Anyhow do you think maybe you could help me with an answer? Anything you could do would be a real help. I subscribed to the site and I'll be watching and learning. Take care... Regards, -Jay-

[damionbarnes]

Wrong guy for that job. He is most basic like the knives. The brand of knives for the person asking.... shit brands. Look them up

[MrNeuroticRA]

So no one in Africa it Asia which predate Europeans in metal work and human civilization in general had to break a carcass? It blows my mind this type thinking. Throwing out eurocentric psuedo facts.

You look like someone who done something terrible I can't remember his name
