The term butchering can be used to describe a variety of tasks, from skinning and field dressing a whole animal to portioning large hanging sides or simply trimming fat and separating larger cuts into smaller pieces. There are a variety of knives used to perform these jobs including boning knives, skinning knives, butchers knives, breaking knives, trimming knives and scimitars. Depending on the scope of the work at hand, you'll likely require at least two of these knife shapes. At a minimum, you should possess a boning knife, characterized by a 4-6 inch blade for precise cuts around bones and joints, and a larger knife with a broad, curved blade measuring 8 to 10 inches. This second knife could be a breaking knife, a butcher's knife, or a scimitar, each offering unique advantages for different butchering tasks.
