Havalon knives

I have heard great things about these knives and I know some of you on here use them, I'm looking at getting one but which model do you guys suggest??

 

I have the piranta and like it best, but others prefer the bolt as it uses a little bigger/sturdier blade. The reason I use the havalon is for the tiny blade for easy skinning/fleshing/caping of an animal... A bigger blade just makes these tasks more difficult.

 

I have 3 Pirantas as well and agree with Trevor. I like the size of them and have gutted, skinned and caped many bears and deer with them. The blades are a little thin, so you won't be breaking any joints with it, but they're scary sharp.

 

I have them both and love them. Great not to have to sharpen your knife when your cleaning an animal.

 

The Piranta is what I have also. They are great knives.

 

1 piranta for me as well. Used one blade to gut and cape and quarter 2 deer

 

Piranta here.

 

Sounds like I'll get the piranta or the new torch it's the same as the piranta but has a thicker blade.

 

be careful tho.... THEY ARE SHARP mine cut 3 fingers all in the same day same knife. I was not use to using a knife that was that sharp and well lets just say my day ended with a couple of dummy bandaids

 

I'll take that advise!!

 

Awsome thread. Ive been looking for a new knife. Im going to check em out. I currently have a gerber gator for the last 8 years. The steel is easy to put a edge on it just doesnt stay.

 

Best knife out there, period. The torch can use both the thicker and original blades.

 

The torch it is then

 

I used my Piranta for the first time this year on my doe. I will never try to dress another deer without one!

 

I have one but I think they are too light for a heavy skinning job. It feels like a plastic butter knife in your hand. It is as sharp as they come however. I love it for skinning out and breasting turkeys. For me a knife with more weight is better for skinning deer.

 

It took two blades to skin and quarter my elk. The second blade is still sharp. Id say it works well for skinning.

I use the piranta. I let my brother use it last year to gut his doe and before he started I warned him how sharp they were. his first cut went right through the belly and sliced the stomach open. I told him it was sharp!

I am probably going to buy the torch as a back up next.

 

I keep looking at these everytime I go to the store and keep thinking one of these days I will pick one up. Might have to swing by the store today!
