cameronpatrol Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 G'day all, Im after a cheap under 100 buck dressing kit. ive seen then for about 60 bucks and up. It wont be used every day and i know you get what you pay for. so can anyone rekomend a brand or supplier to get a kit from?? hope to get one with a saw, skinning knife, steak knife?? (the big one) and what ever else they come with. Can you get the kits in from Cabelas without and issue?? Cheers Cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moondog55 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 OK mate you are asking a hell of a lot there. Just the saw will cost more than that for a good one and you will get sick of a bad one really really fast. Trade knives cost about $40- each and up. look around and buy bits as you find them on Craigs List or Gumtree and keep looking on evilbait as well. Until then use a hacksaw to get through the bone and all you really need a wide blade boner and a fleshing knife ( recurve ) Steak slicer optional when you find some cash. Don't forget the full size steel either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greghud Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 tramontina knives will get you started, they are cheap but will work, a saw is nice but not 100% neaded. you can split the chest with a sharp knife and a piece of wood. a broom stick with a couple of notches will do for hanging. so realy i would want as a minimum, a boner and skinner, a bit of rope and a length of broom stick or similar with a notch out of either end. that will get you to the point of being able to bone out the cuts you want. but if you want chops and t bones you will need to invest in some more equipment. greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moondog55 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 A good chain saw too can be used but blood does fly everywhere. Clearing sales are good places to get gambrels cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameronpatrol Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Thanks heaps guys. I think i'll take your advice and get bit by bit. The saw isnt to much of an issue its just going to be used for removing the hock (foot) i think. so it will fit in the fridge. I have a boning knife i think by the looks of lens picture. cant remember what brand it is. My uncle gave it to me from the abbs brand new yellow handle with a pickture of a dog on the blade something like that anyhow got one. I'll check out those sites and have a looksee. Id like to get a flat diamond plate for sharping and also a steel. thanks again fellas im sure theres more questions to be asked cheers cam PS what's the knife called that you use to cut your steaks once all the trimming are taken off??? the larger one??

You can use a "steak knife" or a "butchers knife" but most I have seen are a "breaking knife" http://www.everten.com.au/category/butcher-knives/ http://www.everten.com.au/category/butcher-knives/index2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optic Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 LOL about a month to late cam. Threw a heap of knifes out, all bloody sorts. I carry a meat saw in the van. I have also used a chain saw, both electric at the house and a power in the field on steers. Meats and crap go every where with a power saw. A $20.00 hard blade hand saw from bunnings does a great job and its easy to keep straight. Dont fret, i might have a loaner out in the shed. Knife and saw.

Never thought of that, of course if it only for yourself then you don't have to follow the rules that govern meat prepped for sale. My trouble is I always think like some-one in the food trades and hygiene and the ability to boil the gear takes precedence, although I love my old carbon blades and always put them away when we get a health inspector come in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
