I've used my Piranta to quarter several elk over the past several years. Just have to be careful not to use side pressure. Works great. I order a pack of the heavier blades, and works like a charm. Although, I do like the look of that new OE Razor Pro. Looks like much easier (and safer) blade change!

This is just my opinion but the havalon piranha is not the knife you wanna use for quartering.. Skinning it works fine but the blades are very thin and can be fairly tough to get off an on the Handle.. I just bought the outdoor edge razor pro.. Now this knife in my option is a much better all around knife. Much heavier blade.. Easier replacement... I do like my havalon as well but I would use it strictly for caping a animal.. I feel that is the right tool for the job. I have broke a few havalon blades there pretty thin an scary sharp.
I bought one and gave it away for just the reason you stated, "scary sharp".
But I really like the idea so I bought another one but again came to senses and gave that one away too.
I keep hearing horror stories on the cuts these things make when a mistake is made.
Next time I have a surgical scalpel in my hands I will be a doctor, so not in my lifetime.
I have paid attention to weight on every other item but this and I like the comfort of the little saw with the Alaskan Blade Trader. All in under 40lbs for 7 days sacrificing a little with the Blade Trader.

Hey, if you get another one, will you give it to me?

:yeah: good for caping....but much prefer a "duller" heavier knife for most of the work
