Very Helpful!
I was taught in school how to do it differently, but I find this way to be more effective. Thanks for a very helpful video.wink

Knife Choice
 I'm a novice to butchery, do you recommend the utility knife for breaking down most meats? Are there meats you'd definitely NOT use the utility knife for?

Thanks Chef--I appreciate this program a great deal.

Hi Adam, For most meats I us
Hi Adam,

For most meats I us a utility knife...that's really all you need. When breaking down something like a whole pig, you'll need more tools, but for the most part, when fabricating fish, poultry or smaller cuts of meat, I use my utility knife.
