PRDATR Report post Posted October 8, 2016 I know the Havalon has a loyal following but the blades seem small and tricky to replace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olmos1010 Report post Posted October 8, 2016 I've used Havalon for awhile now and they work awesome. Having said that I used my ol man's Outdoor Edge this past January on two deer and I liked it even better. Bought one as soon as I got back. IMO outdoor edge is a lot better for larger game such as Elk where you do more cutting by feel. Both are game changers though. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmall Report post Posted October 8, 2016 Both they each have their strong points. I like the havlon for the more delicate work and the outdoor edge for the times when you need something a bit stronger. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ohthatguy Report post Posted October 8, 2016 I meant to buy a Havalon after the elk hunt I was on but just now did a little comparison and decided to give the Outdoor Edge Razor Pro a try @ 44.00. Never even heard of it before today. Thanks for the tip. (Unless it sucks. lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buddydog Report post Posted October 9, 2016 Outdoor edge works really well and have never broken a blade like the Havalon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swivelhead Report post Posted October 9, 2016 I've got a couple Havalons. They're wimpy, look elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkhutnaz Report post Posted October 9, 2016 have and use both, edge for big stuff and havalon to cape and clean...both great products Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigorange Report post Posted October 9, 2016 Both as a couple have mentioned above. But if I had to pick one I'd go with the Edge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twigsnapper Report post Posted October 9, 2016 I quartered an entire cow yesterday with the Edge using one blade, great knife! Both are good products but I only carry the Edge now, broken too many blades on the javalon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjl2010 Report post Posted October 9, 2016 I retired the havalon due to broken blades as well. Used the edge 2 years in a row and am very happy. Any of you guys use custom knives? We have a couple really good knife builders in Payson and from what I hear you can get a season out of a good knife before sharpening. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arrowsniper Report post Posted October 9, 2016 A s30v steel knife is the only way to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted October 9, 2016 I have a excellent Charles May that I adore. I use it for gutting and seperating joints. Havalon for skinning and caping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
