Scavlord, I know it might sound like me and a few others hate your idea, but I know that, at least in my case, I just think that a new skill is not nessecary. You have a great idea with lots of potential and the possibility of adding more variety to what we eat (even blurring the line between potions and food) and more variety to cooking and combat in general.

Hello Wrathanet, Thanks again for the comments and opinions.
Sorry I haven't had the chance to reply.
In a game as diverse as this there are undoubtedly going to be very strong opinions about just about everything. When putting out an idea for a new skill I expected no less. It's an idea that may lead to some change in the game in a direction that I believe the game could use. Whether it becomes a skill or not really isn't that important to me, actually I mostly like the debate and interacting with those with intelligent and constructive thoughts, such as yourself.
I do understand it would be most similar to fletching, kinda like fletching meat. And unlike many I happen to like fletching. But then, unlike many, I really like mining too.
I would enjoy buying up amounts of carcasses and butchering them in the field or in a butchery shop, using the smithing skill to make better and better butcher knives and saws, and making a new room in my poh with butchery blocks, saw tables, and even a marble topped cutting table.
As far as the programming involved I can't help to think it would be a large undertaking to add a new drop to every creature involved. I certainly may be wrong.
I'd love to hear from Jagex just how hard this would be, regardless of whether they consider doing it as a skill or not.

great idea, not sure however if this shouldn't be a sub of an already existing skill. (like cooking)
What things can you do with it? Other than cutting carcasses to create new food etc.
But ofc you can expand this much... not only with one knife, since real butchers had knives, hatchets, and other tools that almost looked like gruesome torture devices, to do their job.
