Cool pics. Good to see some functional uses of the SYCG. and chopping through a 15 inch long just for the purpose of proving you can isn't functional?

I've got a question for you, apprentice. There's been a lot of discussion on the forum concerning blade drag caused by the coating on CGs. Did you notice any discernable blade drag as you cut up the meat with your YKCG? And I have an answer for you, no. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I really used to buy into that theory myself, but upon further inspection I think the effect of coatings on blade drag is overstated. Now, perhaps if we're talking about katanas, there would be more merit to having a highly polished surface...all the better to cleave you with... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> What I did find troubling was the gloppy residue from the meat would build up on the edge and blade area in general, thus slowing things down from time to time. That happens no matter what knife I'm using though. A quick wipe off with a paper towel and things were groovy once more.

On another note, I just made a kydex sheath for the YKCG and I must say the more I handle this knife, the more I wish I bought a second one. This is one heck of a great blade in the hand. I am really liking the 3/16th" stock.

The YKCG vs. mostly thawed meat. We're canning again, beef mostly, but some venison as well. So just how well does the YKCG slice? This position did not take much force. Since we are also made of meat, I'll let the audience draw it's own conclusions. ![[Linked Image from img.photobucket.com]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/firearms4ever/Knives/meat1.jpg) On to the slicing, a couple descriptive pics: ![[Linked Image from img.photobucket.com]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/firearms4ever/Knives/meat2.jpg) ![[Linked Image from img.photobucket.com]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/firearms4ever/Knives/meat3.jpg) This pic may indicate for you how well the blade geometry works for cornering. Note the wacky curves on the bone that the chunk of meat came off of. Piece of cake... ![[Linked Image from img.photobucket.com]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/firearms4ever/Knives/meat4.jpg) Having filled up several bowls worth of sliced meat, rinsing it off in hot water yielded a blade that still took hair off of my arm with minimal effort. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> Yeah, these SYKCO products really suck, sure hope no one else ever trys to get one in a hurry. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Nice pictures. I do not think that we have ever had anyone show testing on actual meat. Well done Thanks for sharing Dan

I used the YKCG to disarticulate a roast chicken. An uncoated kitchen or belt knife handles that task well. So did the Yard Keeper, as far as cutting the meat. But I like to end up with pieces of breast or leg neatly wrapped in their skin. The coating on the Keeper was rough enough to mess up that plan. The chicken skin clung to the knife and tore every which way. Yes, that’s a trivial issue for a rough duty knife. It’s not trivial if you’re a professional cook, though.

That makes sense alright. I think we can all agree that specialized knives are best for their intended use, it's just fun to see what one can get away with using a general purpose knife sometimes. Dan- Your welcome, and thank you for another great knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
