Havalon Knives?

One Blade per Elk for me. Only had one break over the years and it was on the neck as I was cutting and twisting at the same time and it snapped it. No worries, put a new blade in it and the old blade in the spent wrapper.

Do you just gut it?

The stabbing motion would push the blade back off the lock. I might have been using my thumb on the back of the blade and been pushing it off too.

A stabbing motion would ouch the blade ON the knife.  The blade slides off away from the body.  I love mine.

I pulled mine out and realized that. I know the blade has popped loose while skinning. I'm sure it was while in a tighter spot but other than the hard metal blades and it coming loose a few times it's been great.

They are great knives and have there place. I like the outdoor razor lite for all around work. For capping and skinning the havalons are great and I have taken many animals from field just using them. I pack both the outdoor lite and havalon most of the time.

I picked up this new havalon and really like the fit for me better then the standard handles.

Well, with a recommendation like that, I think I'"ll try a Havalon.

Didn't you buy like 65 of them from him not so long ago? 

[Dan-o]

I may have bought more than a handful of Havalons from him.     

I'd buy Havalons again and I'd buy from Carp again. No doubt.
