SC - Pennsic Lamb

[Alderton, Philippa]

Frederish asks:

>As I have never butchered before, what do you consider a good knife.  I
have
a good fishing knife that I like,or do you mean  a boning knife?<

Whoops, you caught me ;-) I was deliberately not specifying a particular
type of knife, other than sharp and comfortable to use, because I'd like to
see a variety there so people can decide for themselves which they prefer to
use- part of the intention is to let each of you use each other's blades for
different parts of the task.

A boning knife would be preferable to a fish fileting knife, but either will
work. Serrated edges are almost useless, and I don't like the stainless
ones, in part because they're so hard to sharpen- an entire animal usually
requires at least one good sharpening, either before or after.

The World's Need

So many Gods, so many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind,
When just the art of being kind
Is all this sad world needs.
