Butchering an ENTIRE ELK in 2 Hours

Last month, we were lucky enough to be on the scene firsthand for the butchery of a whole elk at the Terroir Symposium in Calgary! Butchers Elyse Chatterton, Blair Lebsack, and Paul van den Hooven spearheaded the breakdown for a workshop and passed on the meat to local and international chefs. We were also joined by stone-tools specialist and local archeologist, Dale Fisher, and got to talk to a bunch of fascinating folks along the way.

Thank you!

Great narration, Skye. Also, I’m currently a culinary student at Humber College in southern Ontario and we’re all excited for our annual Italy trip. However, I’d argue, after seeing this video, that there’s so much awesome food processing and traditions to be observed and learned from in our very own country! Thanks for showing this. It might give me yet another reason to visit western Canada again, if not just to pick Saskatoons for my Saskatoon and strawberry pie 🥧

Thank you! We hope you see you on this side of the country again soon!

I don't work with anything even remotely related to food or cullinary, but that vibe was so cool that I wish I did.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Skye for the awesome narrating! Damn im really about to head to knfiewewr and get a silverthorn so I can break down any and all elk that come across my prep table

hi guys!!!! if I got a right handed biased honesuki more would you be able to have noutoo(spell check)sharpen it into left hand biased knife????

[@levskitoronto]

This would require a lot of grinding, unless the knife has some emotional value I do not think it would be an economically wise decision.

[@KnifewearKnives]

Hey! As long as it's not single bevel, absolutely. If you're looking at a knife like the Sakai Takayuki SK4, you could redeem your first free sharpening before we ship to have Naoto regrind it into a left hand bias!
We also have some left handed honesukis now!
