    I have the outdoor edge version, find the blades are sturdier.

    Have both of the havalon models, plus all the blades that come with it, backed with a fixed blade.

    The trick is to remember that it’s a scalpel and not a pry bar lol

    X2!

    It's a scalpel and treat it as such. If you're holding it with more than two fingers you're doing it wrong. Easy slicing and only slicing.

    Wouldn't leave home without it. I have the bigger one and little one. Run gut hook and bone saw on the big one and little rounded blades on the little .. does everything from gut to skin and butcher !

    lots of nice capes have extra bullets holes in the face from guys practicing with the scalpel blades
    Gerber has a good system for changing blades easy but their handle is too long
    Outdoor edge Razor Pro is a good unit, blunt end blade is good for de-boning rib meat

    But I will probably stick to my Cub Bear Caper

    I have the Piranta...and an Outdoor Edge razor lite...they complement each other very nicely. My old hunting knives just ride around on my belt and get used in the camp kitchen.

    Hmmm bought one 8 years ago on a trip to Alberta..bought a whack of extra blades..still have 25 extra blades for my trip to Alberta next week..
    However as stated..it IS a scalpel..go easy..be careful. .
    No prying, minimal lateral pressure..
    I pack a caping knife..a camp knife d2..gets abused.proper Marty Beets skinner..crucible steel..and the Piranta..as with everything else the Edge blades $$$$$$
