I have a Havalon Baracuta and the blades are super easy to change, I don't even use pliers.   :dunno:

Maybe it's the smaller blades that are hard to change?

I agree, neck knives are a youtube invention, the thought of having to point a knife at my throat to sheath it while I can't see it seems beyond crazy.

I've never come close to cutting myself when installing or removing a Havalon blade. Even with bare fingers, do it properly and it is impossible to hurt yourself.

This is coming from a bonafide disaster machine who could ruin anything.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

My son cut a finger pretty good with his Havalon last year.

Does it make me a bad dad that I laughed really loud when he showed it to me and said:

"This finger with my Havalon."

They are wicked sharp.
I use Havalon's and am on 100% attention to task during blade change!!!

No problems here using Havalon's. I do carrie a Leathermans and Havalon blade removers, they hold the old blade so you don't sit or kneel on them.
