I've read numerous topics concerning the Havalon knives for the past few years. Three weeks ago, a group of us went to Texas for our annual hog hunt. After watching the ranch folks skin out and "quarter" 21 hogs with the Havalon Piranta...I was sold! I now own my very own....very impressive!

Default Too much the old timer But I understand

I sharpen hunting knives, hatchets, pocket knives, lawn mowers, Thanksgiving turkey knife, broadheads, and an assortment of other items.
Used small knives to gut and skin out an animal. Carry a small stone to sharpen up knives in the field. And a very small swiss army knife as a backup to my pocket knife and hunting knife.

I kindly remember the professional knife sharpener who gave me my first and best instructions. Him and the butcher's I've known.

Sorry for the slow reply. The knife I am referring to is the Stanley - 10-049 - 4-1/4" Pocket Knife with Rotating Blade. Ive used it. It works. And, if you loose it no big loss.

X-acto knives are the ones I had in mind regarding the craft store comment.

Not quite the same.... I have used stanley tools for some time and I can assure you the knife for general use and cutting flooring is not the same. Stanley's version is Epoxy vs. the high tech plastic of the Havalon.
The Havalon is balanced and lightweight the stanley is not.
the stanley blade replacement cost is 4 bucks each blade. Havalon is around .50 cents
The stanley is a POS the Havalon is not
Just sayin'

Butchering for a living for several years, so do I. I just enjoy the convenience of not having to do so in the field.
