As an old man of 71 and worked Construction , underground mining I hauled men in body bags from job site accidents. With that said, I’m impressed with your good sense, being objective on your reviews and when using protective gloves. While in the mining job I almost lost my arm training young man who lacked mechanical skills in how to operate hydraulics on a Longwall shielding system. You can never be to careful even with these scalpel’s. Great job on your review!

I just got an Outdoor Edge Razor Lite EDC as a gift Today and it is SUPER SHARP.I don’t know how long the blades will stay sharp but I will resharpen each blade and reuse them before I throw them away.

Not gonna lie, I see a good bit of utility with the interchangeable knives. One for processing game, one for cutting up roughage and one for dinner time at base camp :).

Lost a blade in a carcass for the first time yesterday with my Tyto. I was reaching out to cut the esophagus to pull the gut pile out, and somehow it popped off. I never could find it after 20 minutes of searching. I finally just took the chance and pulled the guts out. I’ve used the Tyto in Alaska for years. I use the tip of an antler to remove the blades. It really helps pop them off without getting your hands too close.

I have the Outdoor Edge (OE), the Havalon and the Gerber. Out of the three, the Havalon seems the most practical. The OE is a pain to clean up after skinning because of the blade holder. I don't like how loose the Gerber's lock is, as well as the fact that you can't use the full length of the blade. The Havalon holds the blade the best and is easy to clean up. So I let the OE and Gerber stay on my desk and open letters and packages with them and use the Havalon to process game, along with a good old fixed blade. I still like the OE and the Gerber but they're more like novelty than utility.

That makes a lot of sense to me. I used that OE RazorBone to process my deer last year and indeed it was a bit of a chore to clean it.

I have used outdoor edge and the problem I run into is fat and meat get caught up in where you replace the blade making it a pain in the butt to exchange the blade. I have all the gerber vitals and the randy newberg knives, they scored lowest on your test but work really good for me. I don't ever get my blade caught in a vise or something similar to that test, so not real work in my opinion. I have always wanted a havalon but hate how they package blades. Ther gerber vital, has an accessory where you carry blades in a plastic case, like this the best. Thanks for you review. This is just my opinion on the ones that I have. I carry to many knives in my pack. LOL.

Great info, that is for sharing. Indeed I've never had my knife stuck in a vice either 😂. I can see how that would be an issue with the outdoor edge, although I didn't run into that when I used the RazorBone to butcher my deer last year. The Gerber is still a very good knife, I think, it just has a couple vulnerabilities in my opinion.

Do you think any of the blades are strong enough to cut up through the sternum of a Whitetail? I’ve done it multiple times with a Havalon, but you have to keep the blade perfectly straight or it will snap.
@outdoorempirecom9 ай бұрын
All those that use the scalpel blades won't really be any better than the Havalon. That Havalon Talon Hunt or Gerber Randy Newberg would certainly do it. But I bet the outdoor edge knives would do it too. Their blades are a bit stiffer and that blade support should keep it from bending or breaking.

So I’m confused. It looks like the Havalon Talon and the Newberg EBS tied for your highest score, but you didn’t mention either as your top pick. Seems like lowest price was really the deciding factor. Would you carry the EBS? I bought one recently but the locking mechanism concerns me.
@outdoorempirecom9 ай бұрын
Good observation. I did this intentionally because the EBS and the Talon are unlike the rest of the knives in this review. Their blades are interchangeable but they are more like typical knife blades as opposed to disposable ones like I think most people think of when we talk about replacement blade knives. The blades are stiffer and can be sharpened, the handles are definitely more comfortable, and they're pretty tough. But that comes at the expense of added cost, weight, and maintenance, which are three main things the scalpel blade knives help with. I did carry the EBS last year but I ended up not using it to field dress my deer. But I did use it to process my deer at home. I found the blade got dull relatively quickly, like it's a cheaper quality blade than my normal fixed blade hunting knife. And I didn't take full advantage of the swappable blades. So for me, it just doesn't make sense. I'd rather carry one sturdy hunting knife a Havalon Piranta. But others would probably disagree so it comes down to preference. I did expect the EBS blade to hold up better than it did though before needing sharpened.
@evanmenzel49729 ай бұрын
@@outdoorempirecom I bought an EBS after having blades pop out of my Havalon while process a cow elk (gunk pushed the blade of the the locked position) but I wasn't impressed with blade quality and the release button seemed even more likely to get pushed while processing game animal. Guess it is going back and I'll start carrying a normal fixed blade with the Havalon with a back up. Now I'll need to get more comfortable touching up the edge of my fixed blade while I am skinning. What is your go-to field sharpening system/honing rod?
