I understand that just creating a piece of meat doesn't require a new skill but creating the best pieces of meat from a carcass has always been a skill that isn't the job or skill of a cook. And the skill, requiring a work space and tools, could support numerous skills already in the game.

This really seems like, if implemented, it would work best as a subset of Cooking. I must imagine that you've certainly heard it a lot throughout this thread, but it does bear repeating. Cooking as a skill in Runescape is food preparation, which is ultimately what your proposal is - food preparation. The skillsets are disparate, sure, but they're similar enough that implementing butchery would be better suited to being a subset of Cooking, certainly more suited than even all the skills that compose Crafting (which is a debate that could be had in its own right, to be honest, but something tells me that would be a pretty dang big hornet's nest for me to kick.)

So, while I'm going to say this isn't a good idea for a separate skill, I do think the concept is there for a subskill at least. It definitely seems like you should get more than one steak out of a cow at any rate and I could see a similar concept to cheese wheels working here. Soft no; not as an independent skill, but maybe it could feature in an update to Cooking a la the Mining/Smithing update.

I support this, I am always looking for more skills to do. I hate the thought and feeling of being maxed out with NOTHING left to do.

I also really like this idea. It might fit better as an elite skill than a basic one. Maybe require 70 hunter, 70 slayer, & 50 cooking to start??

The skills requirements would be lower than the 80 for invention because we would be adding a third.
