Did anyone use their knives for during thanksgiving?

I used my Becker BK9 on this 12 pounder.

Went to my brother in law's for dinner. I carved the turkey with a knife I had rescued at the Salvation Army Store. Gave it to my brother in law because he's recently separated from his wife and only had a few serrated knives in the kitchen. He also didn't have a can opener. Fortunately, I had a P-51 can opener on my key ring to open the cranberry sauce.

Much gratitude to Knarfeng for posting the video about carving a turkey. I looked at it on a whim about 1/2 hour before we headed up to my brother in law's place. I carved the bird as suggested in the video. It worked much better than just hacking at it like I usually do.

This morning, I used a little 01 boning knife I made several years ago to finish taking the meat off the carcass before making some soup stock.

i used my spyderco endura 4 saber ground emerson opener to cut up anything that needs cutting on my plate. it did well.
 
I gathered several knives to de-bone six birds for two turduckens. I found a tiny old western bird and trout to be the most adept for the task.
 
Hi edctac -

I used my 2011 BF Forum knife cut the bags off of my turkey before I fried it up.

I used my wife's grandmothers carving set to carve the bird.

best regards -

I recently started using my CRKT Ultima I in the kitchen and decided to use it to crave the turkey despite the odd looks from certain family members! It really worked well. And actually earlier that day i had used the same knife to cut the tops off of and then halve some acorn squash for squash bowls.
 
Here is an oddity..... Sitting out on my deck.... With wife..... Just got done slicing a Cajun injected turkey with my BK 7...... Had an extra bird given to me last night...... Here's the kicker.....I live in the county north of Baltimore..... Used to be pretty cold up here around this time of year..... Probably in for a Hell of a winter... Lol
 
Jim Rehrer RWL34 recurve for the turkey, after dad did a terrible job using the beater go-to serrated kitchen blade that's never been sharpened.
 
Wish I did. I only brought the new BladeForums traditional knife and ended up slicing up the bird with an electric knife. A Spyderco Military would have been handy...

Cool thread!
Sorry no action photos but i covered up an old sinder block with a bath towel and smacked it in the middle a couple of times with the butt of my CQC-14 (blade closed), breaking it into 2 halves for my cousin to even out his bbq grill.

glad to see someone willing to risk destroying a +$100 knife to break concrete. im guessing a rock or hammer were not available but somehow you managed a bath towel? what are you 8 yrs old?
 
The night before thanksgiving I used my Cold Steel medium Voyager to field dress A decent sized 8 point.

I bought this knife specifically to hard use test it, could have used a number of othet things but I saw an opportunity and siezed it. And yeah it was an old rag that was laying there outside, hay its my money I earned it so why would you care. The knife preformed flawlessly by the way. What are you my wife? I get bitched at enough by her and now I'm gonna get it here too?
 
used my chefs knife for...uh...everything. Right tool for the right job and all...
 
Used my Drop Point Russlock to dice up left-over turkey. After a rinse & wipe it was used to open a TV box & strip some speaker wire. Then my son used it to cut the tarp off the top of their wooden swing set fort - thing. Quartered my sub sandwich for lunch today.
 
I carved our turkey with my Becker BK9 and would have pics of it but my wife and daughter were both camera challenged that day and all the pics were blurry and out of focus. Also used my BK11 as my dinner knife but I do that all the time.
