Just curious if anyone has ran across another brand that is comparable to them. Ive done a search and came up empty handed.

Once you figure out that they are not a powerhouse blade, and more of a finesse blade you will love them. I figured out the importance of it and my heavy power blade will stay in the truck. I love it enjoy.

Ive used a Havalon Piranta a bit. Really liked it. Was just curious if there are any other manufacturers of simiar knives out there.
Bought my son and my son in law Pirantas last year just because they are great friends and hunting partners. Now I'm trying to decide what I want.
An Edge, bolt,torch. Or the Zytel handle. Heck,wouldt even mind one with the elk scrimshaw on it.

I used mine to skin, quarter and bone 2 bears and a deer this year. It's the only knife I carry in my pack anymore.

Was thinking it would be nice if they made something with a gut hook.

Greatest knife ever! Love mine. Scary sharp. Can gut, skin and quarter an entire elk with one blade. Just be careful in the joints or you might break a blade. After you get used to using it, you will love it!

Great knife. Only thing you can't do with it is try to pop the hind quarters apart or while cutting around the spine and trying to snap it apart. The blades break. Carry a secondary knife if you plan on any slight prying.
