Does a higher end knife work better than a Havalon?
I understand some people appreciate good tools and see value in that. Is that it?

Agree , but the OP doesn’t want a replaceable blade knife.
I have been using the Shrade old timer drop point for close to 40yrs and have gutted and skinned more deer than I can recall with that blade. I have a bunch of other blades but that one always gets the nod.
If I was going to replace it I would probably buy a Mora and you can pay $80 for one of those these days if you take the higher grade knife.
I think it’s sort of like the Lee enfield vs Tikka. The end result is the same , deer with a hole in it and unaware of how much you spent on the hole puncher.
People like what they like can’t fault em for that.
