Default RE: butchering knives?

I bought one of the outdoor edge game processor sets and they work decently. I've butchered 2 deer, an antelope, an elk and about 10 pigs with them in the last year with no complaints. It cost around $70. I really only use 2 knives out of the entire set though, the large butcher knife and the caper knife at the top of the picture.



My friend bought one of the $20 butcher sets at Gander Mountain and they are nearly worthless. Won't hold an edge at all, and I tried to cut something with the scissors and they broke in half.

If I had it to do over again I would probably just buy a nice cutting board and a good 3" deboning knife like the caper and a good 8" butcher knife. But then that would probably cost more than the entire set so I'd probably just buy the entire set over again. A nice BIG cutting board is the next item on my agenda for my home butcher shop though.
