Knives and other sharp stuff

[AusTac]

I want to see some of your knives, before guns, cars, and even girls, from a young kid i’ve always had a knife, whats your knife of choice?

My box of goodies and spares is above the ones i like don’t generally live in there

[Bogong]

I use Havalon on deer. Surgical sharp, replaceable blades.

[AusTac]

@Bogong do you use a bone saw as well? Really struggled with the ribs last time

[Bogong]

I’ve got one but hardly ever use it. I only cut the back straps, fillet and legs off. I use the gutless field dressing method.

I’ve done rabbits that way works a treat!

@AusTac mate I think you need a few more opinels

[sungazer]

I havent watched the vid as yet, but I know that there are a couple of very nice fillets on the inside but behind all the guts tucked up into the bone.

[juststarting]

That’s correct. With a small sharp knife, you can get them out without needing to fully gut the animal.

[Bogong]

They’re certainly there…the fillets. Just above the guts and behind the backbone.

Will those blades on a havalon last a whole animal? My mates s30v knife did a whole animal but suffered in the end ( although god knows how many animals its done before ) bloody hard steel, took me ages to sharpen

Yet to put those fillets we got on the bbq, but hearing you guys talk about it i’m keen

@GUN-DMC thats just whats on top… i went through a phase of modding them, staining different colours, polishing blades and what not some came out good, others not so much

[Bogong]

They will do two easily. Then just replace it.

Good stuff, matching pair . I was thinking of doing the same for the cooks birthday in April so will have to send you a message around February to discuss it with you.
