The fine edge and hollow ground blade of my 7.5" Buck 120 'General' was perfect, if you ask me, for turkey carving at the m-i-l's last year. She wasn't as impressed - and went back to her serrated butcher bladed piece from a $10 kitchen set at a flea market. Mine finely sliced - her's shredded. It was her turkey...
The 6" 119 'Special', a $34 WallyWorld buy, has been my main butcher knife.
