I found an old butcher knife. Had some rust on it. Cleaned it up really well and resharpened it. Got it at an estate sale, the owner used to be a butcher. Paid $3 for it and got a couple other knives. Had those sharpened as well. no one uses my knives but me. Hubs doesn't like them and that's ok by me. I also went to a local meat market I frequent and spoke to the owner. Asked him where I could by another good knife in case mine came up missing. He ordered one for me. Special made, $25 with a leather sheath. I've had it now for 15 years at least and butcher's glove. As soon as I'm finished with "my' knife, I clean it and put it away. Ask your butcher if he can get you one or where you can order. I have yet to cut myself.
