[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2507605, member: 42157"] I'm kinda old school. First hunting knife was a Schrade and I carried it for 35 years the same knife. Had the plastic fake stag handle and pry bar thick blade. I had a couple add ons and the longest lasting was another Schrade and a metal Framed Wyoming knife. It was razor sharp to start and pretty dull before I finished skinning and quartering a deer. Finally retired it and got a fixed Buck Vanguard/Roswood with SV30 Steel five years ago. It will stay sharp through two elk just fine. Saw lots of guys using the Havalon style and I was not impressed with the tiny blades, broken blades, and generally pretty weak steel. Then I tried a Outdoor Edge Razor Pro and fell in love with it. The blades are re-sharpenable and one blade will easily skin and quarter an elk. Their blade support flat works and you don't break blades and easier to install and remove than Havalon style. Their gut hook blade rules and is even better than the Wyoming knife. It is also re-sharpenable. Their gut hook replaceable blade sucks big time. I still pack my Buck with it, and this year I might maybe not maybe will just go with the Outdoor Edge alone. Nothing I would want to hand down to my grandkids as a family heirloom, and I will still start them with a high quality steel fixed blade hunting knife. [/QUOTE]
