The Topic is knives.

I’m looking for a new skinning knife. I’ve had the same one for 18 years. It’s a hand made knife someone gave me. However cleaning an average of 10 deer a year it’s getting harder and harder to keep sharp. Also lack of sharpening skills has rounded the tip pretty bad. So I bought a bench made meat crafter knife. It’s okay but dulls quick. I bought a havilon but the blades pop off. The last time I was using it the knife blade popped off inside the deer. I thought this is going to end with stitches. ‘
I was looking at trying an another havolin, but like a good fixed blade so I’m also looking at something like A agrila or goat knife. ’Any thoughts.

I use the Outdoor Edge Swing Blade. Razor sharp, super affordable. Will you need to maintain it more frequently than a $300 blade? probably. But blade sharpens REALLY well, holds an edge well, and the flip feature is super handy. The plastic is grippy, the whole unit is easy to clean. Blade size is perfect. High-vis orange also handy.
