Knives
Having grown up on a farm and butchered cow, pigs, goats, chickens for 50 years.....you don't need any kind of fancy high end cutlery.....we used and still use carbon steel blades.....Chicago Cutlery types.....I have carbon steel blades that are 70-80 years old and have cut up hundreds of animals.....a good bone saw is in order.....blades that are 4 to 6 inches are plenty big.....I have a heavy cleaver that will cut thru anything you lay down on the block.....I field dress and butcher deer every year also, two of my most used knives is a Russell "Woods walker" & a Buck 110 folder....you won't need some of these knives that I see advertised that you could behead a water buffalo with, just some good steel blades, a whet stone, oil stone.
Good work table with paper, good meat grinder, wrapping paper, etc.....we butchered every year and my grandmother used everything in the pig except the "oink" and everything in the cow except the "moo".
