Try cutting up the meat with a bone knife that you make and sharpen yourself
How do you imagine that the hunter-gatherers are skinning and butchering the animal? With their fingernails?
Of course they skinned and butchered the animal with knives. That doesn’t change the fact that producing and maintaining those knives is a lot of work for them, and they are more difficult to use than our modern knives, and this does have impact on the marginal costs of additional preparation of the meat.
Seriously, I found your reply to be sarcastic and unsubstantial.

Sorry. You may have seen it before I edited to add the less-sarcastic second half.
