[QUOTE="KDM, post: 305414, member: 314"] A good fillet knife is extremely useful for processing any big game. Backstraps and tenderloin removal as well as dealing with the shoulder blades are of particular note. The long flexible blade rolls right along the ribs and the vertebrae and works well for filleting the meat off the shoulder blades. It also comes in handy for cutting the larger muscles into steaks if you wish. Taking the "silver" skin off the meat is also easier with a fillet knife. Silver skin is the tough tendon sheets that cover some muscles, especially in the front shoulders and the round. I use a heavy knife to take the hide off and remove the shoulders and hams. Other then those steps, I use the fillet knife for almost everything from there. Also, don't be hard on yourself if you make mistakes on your first half a dozen deer or so that you process. It takes practice to figure out what works for you and a meat grinder is very good at hiding mistakes. (Grin) Good Luck!! [/QUOTE]
