Class dismissed.

Hehe......

Instead of a "sawzaw" (lol) I have always used a pair of the short nose pruning shears. They will chop the head and legs off easily and in one swipe. Cut around the bone with a knife and then just use the pruning shears to cut the spine/leg bones. Works like a charm.

I use a 7" high quality fillet knife for most of my butchering work, but Ialso keep a larger knife (gerber with a 5" folding blade) for popping the rear legs out of the sockets, and then the pruning shears as well.

You know what Jeff? I've been noticing Rob making a few spelling mistakes here and there too but I've been keeping my mouth shut. I'm gonna start calling him out from now on. What now Rob?:D

There was even one time he spelled my name wrong.[&o]

I start to finish mine, with my Buck knife, and a fillet knife!! You don't even need a sawzall for the legs! Cut em at as deep as you can at the joint, a quick snap, and cut the tendon!

Ipull out the loins, then work from the bottom up separating and detachingthe muscles!(buck knife)

I cut my deer into 100% lean, silver dollar size, pieces! Anything smaller is sausage meat!(fillet knife)

p.s. If you partially freeze it once its deboned it cuts much easier!! Just make sure it is flat, and in the shape you want to cut it!

After we skin the deer we hit it lightly with a little gas hand torch to cinge the hair off
