New knife - Old Hickory7" butcher knife!

[santaman2000]

Each to their own - I use a combination of Sabatier and Sheffield Taylors kitchen knives (Sabatier make the better chefs but Taylors for the butchery). I even keep a game knife that is all synthetic and stainless with a kydex sheath - when it gets covered in membrane and blood, it gets a good hot wash and comes out sterilised. None have come to any harm yet - but maybe our dishwashers are more gentle?

I'm not really fussy about blood and gore TBH but then I don't do it professionally. Most of my kitchen work is less strenuous than butchering big game.

Apart from a filleting knife hanging over the sink I'm doing most of the kitchen work with a chef's knife or a paring knife. As for field dressing I usually use a hunting knife or a filleting knife.
