Buck Utility Shears, the most efficient tool for dressing down birds.
I only use a knife if I am breasting birds. Otherwise I use my Buck Utility Shears, which are absolutely brilliant for taking off necks, wings, legs and opening the bird up to draw it.
For pheasants I use a pair of pliers to remove the feet and the tendons that run up the legs, which makes them much easier to eat.
