Bought
these, did 3 turkeys and 2 geese yesterday; they held up for the work at hand. That's not a comprehensive review, just a first impression. They worked well to cut neck bones, but my hands weren't strong enough-had to ask the guys to actually make the cuts, but it worked. We are still using the Lee Valley modified surgical shears (search their site for clamshell scissors), but the new ones were preferred. We'll keep both in the arsenal.
Did I mention goose rillettes? Too bad this batch of geese are presents. Did I mention essentially free Christmas gifts? Free that is, if you don't count the work and the time for processing. I'd be surprised if we are 5 lbs each of
feed into the geese we harvested, the first generation raised by the founder stock we raised. We are keeping three hens; next year I hope to be awash in goslings and learn to make
goose prosciutto. And not to mow my orchard once in 2016.
