Carving & Trimming Knives
I am looking for a large knife to use to cut up meat with and just to use for my general carving. I have several trimming knives but I want a large one to use to hack through rib bones and such. I would be interested in seeing what you brethren use to stick you meat with.

I'm thinking if you want to cut through bone you'll need a cleaver... Otherwise I just use a sharp chef's knife made by mundial.... Occasionally use my cheaper serrated henkels knives but they tear more than cut

I got a great deal on a Kershaw Fillet knife at a local sporting goods store. $14 with 10" of blade. Also have an antique wood handled knife shaped a bit like a bread knife with a chunky wood handle. That this is tough as nails and will slice and chop through most stuff (including bread) It was my grandmothers. Have a Cleaver too, and a few others. I think I use the cleaver and the fillet knives mostly.

Have you checked out the Victorinox/Forchner line of knives? They offer tremendous value and a very high quality product.

I guess a better description of what I am looking for would be a large butcher knife.

I am thinking in terms of a blade length of 12 to 14 inches.

I like a large butcher knife for use as a large butcher knife.
 Actually, my favorite has been the Dexter Russel Sani-safe Cimeter. For breaking cuts down, there is nothing better. I do like the classic butcher knife they make as well. I don't have a picture handy but

I agree with many of the above. To get through bones I use a cleaver. I have a set of Wustof's that have performed extremely well through the years. I keep them very sharp.

Forschner makes these two affordable knives that might work for you.
The Breaking Knife for about $35  And their Butcher's Knife for about $55

Hey gang list the blade length of your knives if you do not mind. If any of you ever watch any of the BBQ Pit Boys videos they have an old large knife they use for everything, not sure of the blade length.
