Buy a victorinox rabbit knife and get @snake_2586 to supply a sheath and youre good to go.
A small folding saw and a roeing /tripe knife or similar are useful
For butchery I use Victorinox, Dick and Icel but might try Swibo next.

Had my F Dick Tripe knife 6 years, shear fallow/red ribs with it no problem. It was second hand when I was given it.

I get all what I need for my butchery from www.butchers-sundries.com at Ashby-de-la-Zouch. They've got everything you could ever need or want !!!
Don’t do this, for one thing it’s terrible for the environment, but also for your pocket. My father has Victorinox butcher knives worn down almost to a spike that still take a wicked edge. I was using a 20+ year old one last week to break down a side of beef. I have butcher friends who still use their first set of Victorinox knives.
To the Op, try @Monarch Country Products , he sells the mora curved boning knife which is excellent for carcass work and sharpens up a treat on a steel.
Quite, out parents and before had steel knives which I am sure will be in the house somewhere (I have) the were tickled up until they were wafer thin..My VN I picked up 8 years ago @ a boot sale gave 2 away one to @SA shooter who uses it all the time.
There's loads of suppliers on the internet, Weschenfelder/Monarch country products and a few others all supply good butchers knives, Also buy a good sharpening steel and have a look YouTube about sharpening with a steel, It's really easy and will put an edge on them in no time.
I totally agree, my Victorinox is nearly 25 years old and still going strong.I bought some butchers knives off Rob at Monarch and they are In daily use and take a good edge (by that I mean hair popping sharp) though I prefer the blade contour of the Victorinox for boning deer.

I use the outdoor edge for my butchering, Outdoor Edge
but for 90% of the field work it’s Morakniv, you can get them on Amazon, cheap, very strong and easy to sharpen.

I got mine from here, Boning Knives | Scobies Direct I say got, not get, as I've had my victorinox knives for years, I do most of the work with a 5'' boning knife, plus scobies sell lots of other stuff and for knives are cheaper than the others above, although they don't support the site

Do a search for "Break resistant Ceramic Honing Rod" They're a dark ceramic rod, very fine, more than 1000 grit, probably nearer 5000. I've seen them as low as £24, but at present they seem to be around £40.
Make sure you get a flexible blade, they're so much easier to use when you're removing the silverskin from individual muscles.
i would love to sell everyone a proper boning knife ! One that could be sharpened over and over again , handles that could be replaced over many years of hard use !
However people now seem to have a sub £20 budget for boning knives in a larder environment, they buy them by the boxful and when the steel can no longer straighten the edge up and polish it up to sharp- it gets binned ! why ? Because to get them truly sharp again you need to be able to raise a burr ( try it you simply wont get one of worth) and as my butcher tells me " we only send the big cleavers and such to sharpening " why ? well likely the cost charged for the item against the cost of re-sharpening something that will not even reach a worthwhile sharp again at about the same cost as a new one ! Look at the costs and a good commercial Cleaver or splitting cleaver against boning knives- these get sharpened !
If we want to save the planet we should rebuild more cars and make them more fixable , instead they try and force us into battery powered cars with a limited fuel cell life ! Running on electric mainly produced by fossil fuels?
Any of the commercial boning knives can be sharpened over and over. I love expensive knives, I own a few beauty’s.
However, your notion that a £15 boning knife can’t be re sharpened is just silly. There’s actually plenty of tutorials online. In fact, if you send me a blunt one, I’ll sharpen it for you.
you can sharpen a hard frozen turd , its all about the degree of what you call sharp ! Oh and of course the crucial bit of how far you get with that edge after the sharpening
some folks of course just obviously have a far lower grading of the description of " sharp " That is all .
Tell you what go on a butchers supplies online and think why Boners are sold in boxes and so dirt cheap ? Yet some of the other specialist knives are a few hundred ! Reason being is they are a semi disposable item !
How many Knives do you imagine i sharpen from total blunt , remove chips from, correct customers sharpening mistakes in a year ? I can tell you as a full time Knifemaker its a heck of a lot 300-400 plus easy likely 1000 plus , if it wont cut cleanly through 4mm veg tan leather with one sweep it doesn't go out!
You can put a sharp edge on a credit card so it will cut paper , it just wont last !
Nothing lasts, drill chisels brushing hooks lathe tools knives all get dull (like some replies)
Saws back in the day were reset and sharpened........
Any good tree guy will stop and dress the blade depending on what they are cutting, hit a nail then change the blade if it has taken a big hit.
