Never used a replaceable blade knife because I sensed all the dangers you spoke about. The take away is learn to sharpen your knife. I struggled with this for years until I realized the only thing I was lacking was patience. Thanks for the video.
Really excited about your new podcast (on CZcams). Replaceable blade knives in theory seem like a great idea for the hunter who doesn't particularly care for sharpening a fixed blade. However, in my experience I find them quite dangerous. I consider myself rather proficient in the use of knives when it comes to processing game. I worked professionally as a butcher for over 20 years. I began using the Outdoor Edge replaceable blade knife several years ago. While the sharpness was second to none, I had issues with the blade detaching from the knife while in use. This was a dangerous failure in my opinion. The blade release button was in a position where I would accidentally manipulate it during use. I did end up with a nasty cut in a remote location. Pretty good way to ruin a hunt or worse. I will be sticking with traditional hunting and processing knives in the future. Thanks for the podcast.
That’s true, but it’s just riskier using replaceable bladed knives. They are razor-sharp every time you put a new one on, and can be hard to keep track of. I know a few people who lost a blade in the animal while working on it and got cut very badly!
No replaceable blade for me. A fixie with a thin blade profile like BRK, Brisa, or Argali and super steel. Shouldnt need to sharpen but after 3-4 animals often more. And there are plenty of places that will do a very skilled job of sharpening for under $15-20. Better steel ,better handles for different grip positions, and just nicer to look at for me. Plus no waste. Cheers Joseph!
@Joel-qo9gu I’m with you! I do carry a replaceable-blade knife but much prefer a fixed blade. We’ve got a video on knife sharpening coming soon! Thanks for watching and for the great comment.
+1 for the Buck 110! I've actually use a fixed blade knife that I made in a class in high school. 20 years of use and still going strong! Though I can DEFINITELY see the benefit of the replacement blade knives for caping and fine detail work.
@@ericdale7086 That’s great! Yes, while replaceable blade knives are good for ease of use and detail work, as you said, almost nothing beats a good fixed-blade!

Yes keep your taxidermist in mind, don't mess up the eyeball skinning procedure.
Never have used any of these. Have Blade Changers..
One can do the same as to bad cuts with regular fixed blades.

I am an old-school Buck 110 guy, but it is a bit heavy for backcountry work.
@@patchitwood7428 My first folding knife was a Buck 110... Great blade!
