BG knife food prep. (scenes of animal butchery)

Celt_Ginger · 22-11-2009, 11:47

Having given the Knife that I got from Bernie Garland a run at some woodwork yesterday, I decided to give it a lash at some food preparation today.

I was going to bone out a chicken, roll and stuff it for Sunday lunch, so I used the Woodsman B&T knife. It was easy to use for this task. The 3mm thickness ment it coped well with cutting close to the bones when removing the meat. It was thin enough to cut the cartlidge between bones, something that the thicker 4mm blades can sometimes struggle with.

Removing the carcass.

In this picture you can see me choking up on the knife, where I move my hand right forward up the handle. The small finger guard allows me to do this easily. A large finger guard would have made this much more dificult.

And the carcass being removed.

Here is the open bird ready to have the remaining bones removed.

I used a variety of different grips.

The last of the bones being removed

And the completed Chicken, boned, stuffed and rolled. Ready for the Oven.

Next, after a good clean up, came the vegetable preperation.
First some Leeks

Some Parsnips

Some Onion (finely sliced) and that's Lunch sorted out.

The bones went to make stock.

Nice one mate, just goes to show this is a knife for all tasks.
i think 3mm puukko style blades are the ultimate for bushcraft and general use, the finns have been using that blade shape for centurys and if there was anything that needed changing they would have.
Top job

Yep. The cut is still open and I didn't want any gunk getting into the it. Even with a glove on, the knife was easy to hold and work with.
