Outdoor edge replacement blades suck!

[joehew89]

So I don't know if i got a bad batch of blades or what. When through 3 blades skinning and quartering my spring bear this year. Usually one blade is more than enough for bear or deer size animal. Might go through 2 on an elk. Im pretty darn careful. I never cut hair and I deal with joints at the very end of the process. Anyone else experience something similair?

Never. I skinned, gutted and boned out a cow moose with a single blade.

I should note, this was 10 years ago.

Yes, I noticed the same thing this year. Bought a bulk pack off Amazon (outdoor edge brand) and they were horrible. Went and bought a pack from a store and same thing. I can usually clean 3 whitetails before switching blades and I was going through 3 per deer this year. It’s on the shelf until I hear they fix it.

Same here. We used 2 or 3 on a deer here in MO. We ended up switching to our milwaukee razor knifes and the fixed blade knives we have. Was very unimpressed.

I've noticed how long a blade lasts can be very inconsistent, but I thought it was me dulling it on bone. Now I'm second-guessing and wondering if I've had bad blades too. I feel like sometimes they last a while and sometimes not.

Yes I noticed they have become worse over the years.

I had the same problem last year. Went thru 3 blades on an elk, will be switching to a fixed blade this year.
