Chuck, I have a Havalon and will continue to carry it. They are the bees knees until they aren’t. Elk and I were with a buddy who shot a cow moose in really cold weather. I did the gutting and skinning, while the other two held legs and hide etc…. The fat kept freezing up on it, affecting performance, and making it quite difficult to change blades. I ended up saying to Elk, “Can I use your knife?” That was a one-off, but when it happened, I was sure glad that Havalon wasn’t the only knife on us.
That is only one of many, many animals I have skinned with the Havalon, and I really like it, but want another nice-ish, traditional knife in the backpack too.
