Default Havalon Knives!

How the heck did I miss this! BIL got me a set of these knives for my birthday, a skinner and filet knife, just amazing. These are scalpel sharp with changable blades. BIL skins a mule deer or elk with a single blade. These are very light weight and no more sharpening blades for hours. Caution, scalpel sharp is not a boast.

I'm figuring this and a finger saw and I'm set for anything. Bonus, it can all fit in a small pocket.

Considering buying one, myself.

I have a Mora Companion that goes everywhere with me in the woods, as well as an old Gerber Gator with the partially serrated edge.

Both are in hair-shaving state but I would love to have something like this that does not require whipping out the diamond stone.

Right now Eastmans hunting journal is giving away a havalon knife with a renewal or new subscription.

Just bought one this past week and boy is it sharp! Haven't used it to clean any game but it feels sturdy enough and more than sharp enough.

Got mine from the MidwayUSA website for $34.00 FREE shipping.

Got one of these today and it is definitely the sharpest knife I have now. Like several others, I can never seem to get my knives as sharp as I'd like. This knife will fix that problem for me. Blades seem like they should be plenty strong enough for cleaning game, however I will keep regular knife with me until I have used it just in case. FYI, i got mine from my local store for 29.99. Seemed like a great deal, Cabelas sells them for 10 bucks more.

I have both the small and large version. Best thing since sliced bread. I skin deer, hogs and what ever else I need too. Pop on a new blade and I'm set to go. Great knives.!!
