I've been very happy with my outdoor edge Razor Light ..

 

Outdoor edge. I use the filet blades for processing meat, but regular blades along with the zipper hook is awesome in the field. You can’t close it with the longer filet blades. They’re just for working up meat at the house.

 

I take my Havalon to the mountains and outdoor edge for close to home hunts and at home butcher

 

Havalon has worked on many deer for me

 

I've been happy with my Havalon Piranta. I haven't tried any other brands and haven't felt the need to.

 

Same.
Only complaint is it used to be orange but has faded to pink from all the use 🤣. Probably quartered or gutted 40 deer with mine.

 

I have both the havalon and outdoor edge razor pro I think it’s called it has the replaceable and a gutting blade. I prefer the outdoor edge as the blades are a little more rigid and you don’t have to worry about snapping them. The gutting blade is a really nice feature as well.

 

I have both and I agree completely! My havalon is bad about snapping blades.

 

I had a havalon and still have an outdoor edge. I much prefer the outdoor edge. Blades are stronger and I like the way they change out/lock in much better.

 

I’ve been happy with outdoor edge. Ive skinned a deer and two elks. So far so good.

Outdoor edge has been great for me, I got the double blade, one with the belly knife, and the other has the replaceable blade

 

I’ve dressed and butchered 7-8 in the past couple years with the outdoor edge lite. As long as you stay off bone it stays super sharp for at least 2 deer. Way better than sharpening knives after every kill

 

Havalon and the outdoor edge are both better than sharpening a knife and failing again and again

 

outdoor edge

 

Wow. Glad I asked! Outdoor edge wasn’t even on my radar. Thanks guys!

 

I like my havalon, field dressed and butchered many a deer with it. I would recommend a pair of pliers for blade changes in the field, it just makes it easier.

 

You can do it with a flathead screwdriver, a flat piece of metal or something pretty easy but pliers work fast and are safe.

 

I have a Havalon, a Weibe, and an Outdoor edge. 99.9% of the time I use the Weibe handle with Havalon blades (the Havalon blades are better and stay sharp longer than the Weibe blades). Idk why I even keep the Outdoor edge? It’s not near as good as the other.

This is the Weibe knife handle that I use. It’s way better than the Havalon Piranta handle.

I did at least two deer with the same blade last year, I think it was three though. Can’t remember, but you can definitely get multiple uses out of a blade.

One thing I don’t like though is you need to clean the spot where the blade goes in carefully to make sure you get all the blood out. I may use mine more for skinning going forward to avoid that (that’ll keep the boning knives sharp anyway while I’m butchering so I’m still glad I have it).

 

Havalon all the way. I have a piranta and somehow the lock broke so I called them they said send it to them so I did and less than 2 weeks later I had a new knife with a few more blades to go with it. Excellent customer service and warranty. I also have the Jim Shockey edition as well. Havalon has come out with a new knife with thicker blades so you might want to look at them again. Just my thoughts though

 

Thanks guys. More options.

 

OE!

 

I like my tyto a bunch, super simple and straightforward and weighs nothing. Can’t say anything bad about havalon either, used one for years and it never failed

 

outdoor edge for me. i like that i can pick up blades at lowes in a pinch

 

I like the outdoor edge and havalon. Both have a place for me but I keep the outdoor edge in my pack and it sees the most use.

 

I like the Outdoor Edge, but the mechanism can get finicky over time.

 

Outdoor edge.IMO safer,more durable when using.Especially in low light.

 

I use a Gerber Vital on occasion. It does the job just fine and I’ve had no issues with it. Very light and the knife plus the little case to hold extra blades takes up very little room in a pack. I just prefer my fixed blades to it. Only complaint I have is I hate cleaning all the nooks and crannies from a folding knife after using it. So much simpler cleaning a fixed.
