Much respect for the old school. Most chefs will tell you to ditch the gadgets and learn knife skills...and there are only a handful of knives a kitchen even needs.

My wife sold Pampered Chef for a while, mostly to get the 50% off the products! We have cabinets and drawers full of stuff. Some of it is awesome, some I forget we have. The ground beef chopper tool:

Is one of those, "where have you been all my life" tools.

I have developed pretty good knife skills from everything from chopping and julienne to taking apart whole chickens and deboning meats. I even prefer to butcher dear meat myself rather than what the butchers usually do to a deer. I like to carefully take the whole muscles off the bone.
