Outdoor Edge Knives

[DEXTER]

Does anyone here have any experience with these knives? I saw them in a game processing DVD, they seemed to work very well, but what sharp knife doesn't. I'm curious to know from those of you who have them, how well do they hold up?

We've got a "swing blade" it's a nice knife. We have yet to use the the gut blade though, I think Ill try it on the next bear.

I have a skinner with the gut hook. Works well, holds and edge and is not a pain to sharpen like some Buck knives. the hook did not work well on a Moose hide but might fair better on a Deer or a Bear hide. Hope this helps.

Have the swing blade and found it fantastic. Did two moose and a muley last year with it. We call it the Zipper now. Very nice for when skinning out as well. Like when you do a zip from the inside Groin down the leg. This along with a Piranta makes for a great combo.:wink:

I have the Whitetail Skinner, I and a couple of my hunting partners are incredibly impressed with it. Especially for the price, $45.00 IIRC. The hook is like a hot knife through butter, on bears and deer. The blade holds an edge very well, dressed and skinned both my Blackies with it. It's still crazy sharp, however dressing/skinning is all I use it for.

Thats why I got the Kodi skinner and caper (combi pak)
My Brother and nephew had the skinners but they were single purpose, tho that does not matter so much if u don't need to pack em on ur bak.

What are u guys using to sharpen ur Outdoor edge knives?

Last year I bought the SwingBlade Pak + the spreader and had the chance to use it during my first hunting season. The knife is still very sharp after two deer, and the hook end is a dream to use ...smooth as butter. The saw that came with the pack is small enough to fit into your pocket, and yet hacks through bones/wood brilliantly (replacement blades are also available at a reasonable price). The performance for the price is outstanding.

Here's the set in action (http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=40636).

By the sounds of it, from your guys experience these knives are worth the very affordable price. I will be placing my order online today. Thanks for the info.

Been using them for years and not 1 complaint. Ive got the kodi pak, whitetail skinner and a single caper and all are well used. I just send them all back every year for a free sharpening and just have to pay the postage.
