Butchers' knives

[308tikka]

I like being able to choose different handle colours.

Tbh if they made decent sheaths Id probably use a 5” straight non flex boning knife in the field.

 

[NoIDeer]

You only need two knives and a bone saw, a boning knife and a steak knife. I use a 5" straight boning knife, a 5" semi flex curved boning knife and a 10" steak knife.

5-6” flexible boning and steak knife. Victorinox.

Not sure what else you’d need

 

[wirehair]

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced set of butchery knives? Not cheapo stuff, but nothing fancy either.
My current assorted collection have been accumulated piecemeal over the years, but none are particularly good, so thought I'd just start again from scratch.

(edit: Perhaps I should have posted this in the butchery section? Admin, feel free to move it if you think that would be more appropriate).

Scobie direct are a good bet

I would only add a tripe knife helps for skinning.

Another for Vicnox.

Fish ive spent a lot of time in slaughterhouses since being a kid and during the lockdown I went and helped my pal for a few days to over come.boredom and found the tripe knkfe being used quite a lot for skinning these are a recent revelation up there anyhow they alway use to stone off the point and make round the end of a boning knife

butchers warehouse Blackburn

they offer one of the better selection of skinning knives.

Lots of places (such as Nisbets) sell chef's knife sets, but butcher's knives seem to be sold individually. I was hoping to find a handy little set of 3 or 4 knives together.

Perhaps too much choice :

Monarch country has reasonably priced butchers knives made by mora. I have a couple, amoungst other brands, and cannot fault them for the money.

This looks about right, though personally I would find a steak knife more useful than the large butcher’s knife.

Thanks. That's the sort of thing I was thinking of, although it's the smaller knives I need more than anything. I have a couple of steak knives, which are both good ones.

Lots of good suggestions here but Check out cutting edge services

Ive been in the trade more years than I care to share and have in the last 12months moved all my knife and steel sourcing to them as they offer the major brands and cheaper prices (f dick multicut steel £30 cheaper than anyone else) with great customer services.

I personally am not a victorinox fan...I don’t like their blade profiles or handles (exception for their steak knifes)

F. Dick are great and I recommend their flexi range

I am currently trialing Caribou knives from cutting edge. Fully flex 5” boning knives at the £5 mark and they are very good!

All available online and I have no affiliation other than being a happy customer

Good shout out for Cutting Edge.

I have the Caribou X1 steel sharpener and needed to replace the plastic stops.

I ordered four from Cutting Edge, who sent me the two they had in stock and then called me about the other two on backorder.

They seem to value customer service, which is encouraging though all too rare in this day and age
