Havalon Bolt Knife with 12 60A Blades

I had been shopping around for a dedicated gutting/carcass processing knife and handled about every one I could find, from the Gerber DTS and EBS to the Outdoor Edge and the Havalon Baracuta, Piranta, and Bolt. I have average to large hands, so I've been disappointed with several skeletonized or smaller skinning knives that seem more prone to make my hands cramp with lengthy work (like an elk). I wanted a lightweight, reasonably sized tool with a variety of blade options in a color that I wouldn't lose on the ground or in a carcass- the Bolt wins in all categories for me. It is solidly built but light, and the size fits me better than the Havalon Piranta without the overly large length of the Baracuta. It also offers both rounded and pointed blades, which I value for sparing my pelts from unintended punctures. My only disagreement with the Bolt is the presence of the pocket clip, which I will not use and only gets in my way. And since I've removed it, the Bolt is now perfect. This is the skinning tool I'm taking in search of Alaskan Moose.

I'm 'into' the collection phase of 'HAVALON KNIVES'! I Now Own THREE Havalons! The Havalon Paranta Bolt. The Havalon Baracuta Blaze. And the Havalon Edge! I just cannot help myself! Somebody stop me, or I'll BUY ADDITIONAL HAVALON KNIVES!

My husband has this knife in orange. I love it and am constantly trying to take it from him. I finally broke down and got myself one. Don't know why I didn't buy it sooner. I love love love it. Think about where you'll be taking this before deciding on a color. Mine is green but pretty darn bright so I can still see it when dropping it in grass but the orange my husband has - you can definitely see that one better in the grass in low light conditions. Now when my Amazon orders arrive I can open them with ease!!

Best pocket knife I have ever owned! I have gifted many of these knives and everyone loves them! Love the changeable blade and the ease of which it can be changed and open and closed! And the pink is a plus for ladies or to be able to find in the woods. Of course many other colors are available

I started to skin/gut a deer and after an 18 inch incision from the neck to the chest in 4 seconds my brother yelled slow down! He thought I was going to keep that pace past the stomach. I've never had someone yell slow down before, I'm usually hacking away with a lot more effort.Pro - used one blade on a deer, amazing sharpness.Con - not really a con, but you still need a regular knife for sternum etc. You really don't want to hit bone or it will dull quickly, so it's not a one knife solution, but I don't think most folks expect that anyway.

You see reviews of this all over YouTube and hunting forums and even magazines. They all show someone effortlessly slicing through. I've used three (3) blades from the included blade package and they aren't any sharper than my steak knives. I literally use a small knife that was included in my kitchen knife set with more efficacy.
