Havalon or Outdoor Edge

[RoJo]

I'm a Havalon user. I don't mind spending money on good gear, but I don't consider myself a gear junky. When I find something that works, I tend to stick with it unless there is a compelling reason to switch. I have not found a compelling reason to switch from my Piranta, it works great. If anything, I would switch back to a fixed blade (a Benchmade Rant DP that I love, or a Helle Besseggen which needs some elk blood stains on its lovely birch handle).

I remembered Aron Snyder discussing Havalon knives and how to easily change blades in one of the GB podcasts, and I found it. Skip to 50:00 here:

Ive recently been using the Havalon titan and its awesome. Having both the scalpel and thicker blade has cut down on breaking blades alot for me. I used the thicker blade around bone and tendon areas that usually can break my scalpel blade. Used the same scalpel blade on 3 squirrels and two whitetails before needing to replace it.

Considering the price of both. Buy, use, trip or keep.
