What is the best knife for cutting larger sized meats, such as roasts, into strips for making jerky?
I go hunting every year, so when I get lucky and get a deer or an elk(have yet to get), I have a lot of meat to cook up. I love making jerky, however I have never owned a nice knife which would make it easier.
I want a really nice, very sharp knife for cutting real thin strips off of roasts to make jerky with.
I’m not sure what the best type of knife would be. I would almost think a fillet knife, but aren’t those mostly for softer easier to cut items, such as fish?
I’m looking to spend between $80-130 on a single knife for this. Any ideas, suggestions would be great.
I like the Yanagi Sashimi style knives, but it looks like these are for sushi? Just looking at them online.
I use a long slicer. Chicago Cutlery about 12″ long, about 1″ wide. It is hard to cut longer slices evenly. I also have a professional butchers knife made for cutting primals. About 18″ long and a little over 2″ wide. Iusee that to cut wider slabs for jerky. Been making it for over 30 years. It is oe of those things that you can make in many flavors. My favorites are just light salt and dried an salted and dried in the smoker. I also likeunsaltedd and dried in the smoker but just light smoke and very dry. It is tough but great when camping. Makes great Chili.
Dang keyboard.
