What reviewers say

Owners praise how sharp it is and how fast it skins and capes, from deer and elk to moose and birds. Several hunters say one blade handles a few deer. The big caution is that the thin blades break if you twist or pry, so it is a precise tool, not a camp knife. Some find blade changes quick; others call them fiddly, so a blade remover helps.

Good

  • Scalpel-sharp edge every time
  • Very light
  • Easy to clean
  • Good for caping

Not so good

  • Blades snap under side pressure
  • Blade changes take care
  • Not for heavy work

Who it's for

Deer and elk hunters who want a precise skinning and caping knife. Carry a sturdier knife too if you need to split a pelvis or pry joints.
