The replaceable scalpel blades make this knnife great for hunters and fishermen, plus just work around my horse farm. I abuse it constantly but have only had to cchange the blades 3 times, which is easy, though they also have a tool that will help if you have problems changing scalpel blades on regular scalpels. The first time I saw one work, my gpat breeder was trimming horns on baby goats and it went through them like butter! I have trimmed goat hooves with this as well as cutting baling twine and a hundred other uses. The only way tHavalon could make it "perfect" is to make an assisted-open version. They currently feel like this would be "dangerous", but I disagree - having fingers on the blade to open it is more inherently dangerous than just using a thumb to spring the blade out with one hand. I used to carry another brand exclusively, but THIS is now my go-to knife even though it is not assisted-open!!Read full review

I own about 11 of these type knives in various makes and models and they are excellent for EDC and utility use. This particular model is ultra light weight and carries well. Operation is perfect from thumbstud to linerlock and blade changes are cheap and easy. This is the last and only knife youll need.

This is one awesome skinning and game knife. I would not use anything else. Makes short work of deer or hog cleaning. The blades are extremely sharp but very easy to change. I love it and would not use another knife to clean animals.

I purchased this for field dressing large game and I have found this to be absolutely amazing. I love the ability to change out blades and find it to be useful. Make sure you read the safety instructions involved in replacing the blades safely and properly. I love the length, the durability, the grip, the locking construction, and the fact that I can change blades out. I have found a few times that I have used this in the kitchen as well for food prep. Great tool.

the knife is top notch as it's razor sharp and to be honest as i hate to sharpen a knife with these that is a thing of the past. i use this knife for everything and with other blades it has 1000s of uses and if it happens to get dull just pop in a new blade. this year everybody is getting these for Christmas as this is the perfect gift. i also bought the fillet knife and again there is no better knife.

My Daughter got me one a year ago. Typically, I carried a skinning knife, a boning and a huge butcher knife. I eventually tried the Havalon. Its great. I just kept my finger positioned in front of the point and it was great for skinning; its was easy to position for boning and being so sharp nothing got in its way. I still carry all those knives but mostly they stay in the box and I do everything with the Havalon...and I mean everything, including things it was never designed to do. You can't have too many...

Skinned a coyote with it and it went through it like butter. These havalon knives are built well and extremely light. They are the perfect tool for high mountain hunting and the replacement blades are fantastic.

This knife is worth every penny. Durable, easy to use, compact and sharp as hell. Buy it and you won’t need another knife for hunting/processing deer or elk.
