I'd b interested in using this for butchering chickens. I'd say roughtly 12 a year or so. Would this last me a few years?

I think so. I've used it to debone and skin raw chicken and its construction seems to pay off just fine for that. The edge holds good, and I use it just as often to cut the meat as to chop, hell, I often use it in lieu of a chef's knife. Hope that helps!

Contacted my son for he is a blacksmith and that is who I bought it for and if things went with it the bad way he would know what to do. I would say that it should not be a problem in 12 chickens or so/I would say sharpen it every year very carefully and it should handle the job. But that does not mean using it for other things like chopping on wood and etc.

it's heavy, and keeps an edge very well - I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem with it.

It is strong and a good size for chopping chicken bones. Just keep the blade sharp and it will do the job.

I have had it for a year and plan to use it for a few more years. As long as the threading doesn't get caked or dried, I think it's good for several years. I doubt the bonding power is affected by age as long as the two products are still flowing and blendable.

It will last a life time, literally, as long as you take care of it. Don't spill any food on it, don't drop it, don't cut, etc, and it will last forever.

9.95 ounces with a coat of walnut oil on the handle and blade. I use it for butchering small game and chickens. Works well and it is not stainless which means you will need to maintain it.

It's sturdy enough, well built. There is no reason why it shouldn't last, except for a direct stab. Hope this helps

Definitely not. I use it to make dog food and have difficulty every time as the gristle from the meat clogs the blade and I have to take apart, unclog and finish. When I use meat with bones it is even worse.

It would be OK for a couple of years,but why take the chance? I would suggest a cover or remove the motor and skewer when no in use.

Yes, if it's a small chicken, but I do not recommend that you buy it. Mine functione quite well for abut six weeks before a flimsy metal part broke off. Suggestion: upgrade by spending some extra money now in order to get an oven that will last a number of years. You do get what you pay for.

Mine is over 2 years now and still the one kitchen tool I would not ever give up. Actually, I had their 2-handle version before I bought this one; the 2 handled one lasted over 9 years. I only replaced it because the one handle was really fantastic.

If you're a beginner it'll last you a long time as you probably won't be shredding it up much...a few years until you start really beating it up.

I use them everyday to cut chicken wings into little pieces for my little old dog. After about six months, the spring part broke off. I still use them. They cut bones really well, but it was easier with the spring.

It works very well!!! Using it for sausage making as well. I never autoclaved it, but depending on the method you could.

I suspect it would work well for this but it will compress and would start to break down after a while. I think the quality would allow it to last a year, but no more.

I used it for meat only but the gears are plastic I think . Mine lasted through just grinding 2 deer meat only .

I used this for a butcher block counter top. We don't really "cut" on our butcher block per say, but we do constantly do food prep on it. We use a household kitchen cleaner and it has held up very well for almost a year. I followed the instructions and put several coats on (6 or 7) and allowed proper drying time in between coats. I've also used it since on a kitchen table that I refinished.

It will last about that long maybe a little longer. I can usually cook about 3 times with a tank

We have 4 chickens and plenty of space. It could probably hold 6 comfortably. We were however unimpressed with the quality of the coop. It was partially broken within a few months. We have re-inforced it and hope it gets through the winter. I don't think its lifespan will be more than a year. Julie
