HavalonKnives

I purchased this knife as a replacement for one that was gifted to me years ago. I field dressed and even used this knife for some of the butchering on many animals over years of hunting. The original one that was gifted to me in an act of negligence on my behalf fell into a campfire one night after too much celebrating after my sons first deer. Even though it was scorched and melted the knife actually still functioned! I used it for another year actually before deciding to replace it because it would no longer close from the melting in the fire. I have since bought two as gifts for friends and replaced my original (which I still keep just in case) because I appreciate this tool so much. Glad I was introduced to it.

Bought 2 of these knives in the last year. Still using the first one daily and bought this for a back up. Super sharp and sturdy. I find other than for skinning game I only replace the blades about every 4 months. I probably could go longer but really like a really sharp blade. I think these are one of the finest knives for the money I have ever purchased.

Use this every season along with its big brother.Durable, sharp and saves me time cleaning game.

GREAT KNIFE FOR SKINNING DEER

This is now the only knife I carry (EDC). I have some excellent knives and an excellent knife sharpener, but the convenience of simply (but VERY carefully) switching out a blade and always having a nice new razor sharp one ready to go is awesome in my old age. I’ve read/heard some complaints (u-Tube) concerning it being too light weight and unsuitable for heavy use such as prying around bones when field dressing an animal. We’ll… I wouldn’t go bear hunting with a .22 either. That doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with a .22 it simply means somebody’s ability to select the right tool for the job just very well might be lacking. The knife has a nice grip. I personally think of it and use it as a long bladed scalpel. Replacement blades are readily available on line and/or Bass Pro. I have gone through about 20 blades in the year or two I’ve owned it and imagine going through a great many more before I die as this knife will definitely outlast me. Great product!

I’m not 100% convinced that this was the right purchase for me. It was recommended by a you tube woodworking channel that swore by its capability and longevity. It’s basically a combo pocket knife and xacto blade. I agree with the recommendation that when using it to mark wood it will give you a crisper thin reference line but I don’t see this as a daily carry knife since it isn’t strong enough to do all the tasks of a nice folding knife.This is a good knife for performing tasks for a xacto knife and it will give you better control (my opinion) but it’s not a replacement for a daily carry

Got 5 beaver so far this year. Anyone who traps knows that beaver are the worst of animals to skin & flesh. I used this baby on my last beaver 2 days ago. I was impressed with the amount of time I saved. It's very sharp & seems to hold an edge. I really don't care for the plastic blade removal tool but it's better than cutting your finger off. I think I found some XMas presents for next year. Sheath was nice & the belt clip was tight & long. I'm ready to toss my junk Rapala knives.

This is my third Havalon, as unfortunately I lost my first two. These knives are awesome! It’s always nice to have a small razor sharp blade on hand. I mainly use these for skinning and bleeding fish
