Havalon Piranta

[paperboy]

Well I got a new knife for Christmas and it's a Havalon Piranta with the orange handle. If you haven't seen one, it has a replaceable surgical blade. It comes with 12 blades and I got another pack of 12 more blades. I am really looking forward to use it, maybe I'll have a chance during late doe season! If i do, I'll give a first hand report. I am curious if anyone else uses one.

Here is a picture.... To change blades all you do is lift the bottom corner and slide the blade off. I used a leatherman tool to grab the blade and the new blade slides on. These things are extremely sharp! What's really nice is you never have to sharpen it and a new pack of blades is like $8.00. Supposedly you can dress and butcher a couple of deer with the same blade.

I have one, have given several as gifts and absolutely love them. The 22xt blade(dull at the tip) I affectionately calm the zipper it flat flies along a hide and not into the meat I also keep several of the sterile 60 size blades (pictured in you post) in my tool box for splinters and blood blisters ect. Some people tell me I'm silly to buy blades when I could just sharpen a "real" knife but the 100 pack blades come in around $.25 ea and if you'll sharpen my knife in 3 seconds for a quarter anytime I ask I'll gladly give up my piranta. Great gift kiss whoever gave it to you !

I got it from my wife, I really like the idea of it being sharp every time i go to use it. I will always use my Buck 105 as my main kitchen knife but I think my Havalon will be my deer knife. I will put it to the test for my next deer, field dress, skin and butcher instead of using 3 different knives. I look forward to giving a review.
