I used a Gerber Vital this past week on a Wyoming antelope and it did a great job. Because of you I went DIY hunting in the West and successfully harvested a Pronghorn Antelope on public land. It was a great hunt and the feeling of accomplishment I got from doing it on my own was amazing. Thanks for being so generous with your time and knowledge.

I usually try to find some cons to go along with the pros.. kzfaq.infoUgkxnkYCgssg4ZO858cyBdD1JPEaUJ9Up1C_ but it really is a good knife. The blade sits centered in the handle when closed (photo added). It opens effortlessly. Unlocks and closes easily with one hand. It’s a great size for EDC. I wish this exact knife came in one of the premium steels to satisfy the knife snob in me.. but it’s a great tool at a great price as it is. Would buy again.

I love my havalon, plus my Falkniven F1. The F1 is a great knive. It's a survival knife for Swedish pilots. But just an excellent knife. Made with laminate VG 10 steel, which is almost dang near impervious to the winter conditions, and holds a good edge, but still sharpens up nice. A lil pricey but worth it in my view. I field dressed to deer last year with the combination and never needed sharpening. And if I do, I have a small strop I made that will bring it right back to a razors edge in a minute or 2. My old knife drove me nuts having to sharpen a couple times in the middle of deboning an Elk a while back. That's when I made the switch. Hopefully draw an Elk or moose this year and try the combo out on a full deboning job.

My first hunting knife was a Gerber with the rubber grip and a gut-hook. Still have it after 25 yrs +/-. I just designed a gut-hook knife in my line-up and I am on #2 right now. Definitely going to put that Gerber Vital in my Amazon Wish List before this falls hunt.

Randy , love the look of the Gerber Vital Big Game knife. You made it look easy. Matter of fact I have a $1000 waterless cookware set because a guy made it look easy. 35 years later I still have it. :) Where can I buy a serrated blade? All I have found is the drop point and the blunt point replacement blades. I also saw a new Randy knife on Midwayusa that looked great and had a serrated blade. Thanks in advance for your guidance

I have. They did not keep an edge as well as I had hoped. I have become a fan of the replaceable blade knives like the Gerber Vital. For a fixed blade, the super hard steel on the Gator Premium stays sharp over the course of many different animals.
