Xmas gift.
I have one and my son and his friend really liked mine. I used to use a utility knife to skin until I saw someone using one of these. What a great knife. Knife center was excellent to deal with.

Havalon Piranta - Perfect Stocking Stuffer For Anyone This Christmas
I bought this knife primarily for skinning game. I harvested a 5x5 elk and skinned it using this knife and I loved it. I field dressed the elk and skinned it out using one blade. I have also used the knife on whitetail and was impressed with field dressing and skinning two deer before changing the blade. I like the comfortable size and weight of the knife and the bright hunter orange color will make it easy to locate if dropped. I would definitely recommend this knife to any outdoorsman to add to his have to have list.

lightweight highly functional
this is as good as it gets for skinning a critter. It doesn't scream rugged or a western icon but when it comes to functionality and getting the job done it works very well. When the blade gets "tired" you simply flip a new guy in there and we are back to slicing through butter. The knife is light weight, love the visibility aspect, and intuitive to use. I use this as my solo knife when ultra light backpacking. I hunt 6-8 states a year and this one is a keeper!

The Best Skinning Knife Ever Made'PERIOD!
This is truly the best skinning knife I have ever owned.I have skinned out (3),deer so far with my piranta edge and I am still using the blade that came on the knife.First of all I like the orange color it makes the knife more visible in low light conditions,second,it is so light I am checking my pocket over and over to make sure it is still on me.This thing opens in a flash.And I still am in awe as to how sharp these blades are,and how long they last.I only plan on using my edge for hunting purposes,and by the way just spray it off with water and it's ready for the next job,very easy to clean.Thanks to everyone at Knife Center,easy ordering,fast shipping. Your company is great to do business with.Also I have been telling everybody if they want a knife to contact you."

I am using this knife for a multitude of jobs now that I have it but it is especially useful skinning my deer. Deer hair kills knife edges and I just pop in a new razor sharp blade when this happens. AWESOME

Piranta Edge
I got my knife pretty fast. It came to me in A-1condition. The box wasn't even mashed by the post office and the knife was in immaculate condition. I used this knife as a gift, I gave it to my doctor. All of the other doctors in the office were very impressed with it, they had never seen anything like it before. They said it reminded them of the old style scalpels they used to use before getting disposable types. It is very good for what it is, a "pocket scalpel" that he can carry around safely. It is sturdy and the blades are easily changed. It is a little tricky to open, but I suppose it will break-in and loosen up with time and use.

A sharp knife makes the work a lot easier
The changable blade keeps a sharp edge available at all times and makes it easier to skin out the animal, especially the caping part. You have to be careful in changing the blades

I just received this knife and overall, it is a very good, lightweight knife. I don't know why people rave about the sharpness, as it is not really that great. A couple passes on a fine diamond hone and it is, though. I am looking forward to using it.

Great Skinning or Focus Work Knife
This knife is a must have for anyone needing a supper sharp blade. Easy capping and skull work. If you are out and need to perform surgery, this is it. The handle and overall design makes for a great tool. I bought one for friends as well. Great complement to your pack. Light, practice and usable. Just to be clear, in my opinion this knife will not replace your normal carry knife. Of course it’s not supposed to. This knife is basically a scalpel and allows you to use as one where required. I don’t think I will ever be without one again.

These are awesome sharp skinning blades!
These little guys are the best for skinning whitetail. I use a blade per animal and that way they are always sharp. First saw them a few years ago while two guys were skinning an Eland with their havalons. The orange is harder to lose. Do use a pair of needle nose to change blades - these rascals are sharp!

It's not a banjo boys
Used this knife last fall. Skinned quartered and boned 2 antelope 2 bull elk a mule deer and too many doves ducks and geese to count. Used 5 blades only because I broke 2 learning the capabilities of this knife. Having used stout dull blades my whole life I was leaning on it like had become accustomed to. But that's the beauty of this knife, it's razor sharp, you don't have to lean into it, just let the blade do the work.

Best Hunting Knife
My friend had this out in the field last hunting season and cut up my whole moose with this knife. I knew that I had to get my own for this hunting year. This is a wonderful knife. I like that you can it get it in this orange color so when you place it down on the ground you can see it. I don't know how many times guys will forget their knives because it blends in with their surroundings.

Never another dull blade!
Being a private outfitter and wildlife guide I field dress , skin and cape on a daily basis for a 6 month Texas whitetail season. The Havalon is the ticket! Never another dull blade and just a overall safer knife in my opinion because you are working with a sharp edge and never fighting a dull dangerous edge. Thanks Havalon and Knife center for a quality product.

You can use tgis knife to almost everything. When I need to cut a rabbit og som kind of forrest bird, it is excellent. Likewise to skin a deere. And I can even use it in order to prepare my fish at the tent in the evening - and then i switch the blade for tomorrows hunt. With no weight in the belt this knife will be at my side together with at more robust knife from Fällkniven for all my hunting trips.

Great field dressing knife
A great choice for a light weight knife. Sharp and just the right size for field dressing without any extra bulk. Don't waste time sharpening, just throw on a new blade and get it done fast. Could use gripping material on other side for improved control. Over all a excellent product at a good price.

Good product
Will use it for processing deer after harvesting. It looks like it will do a great job gutting and skinning, and the blade changing ability should come in very handy. along with the spare blades alongside in the sheath.

Great knife for lightweight hunting.
I boned 2 elk and it worked very well. Pros: Extremely lightweight and extremely sharp made boning very easy. Blades are easy to change, if you dull or break one you can have a new one installed in less than a minute. Cons: The blades are very prone to breakage at the handle connection with even a small amount side flex or prying. I think I broke 3 blades doing the 2 elk.

Cons: Handle Material
Not the most durable, but seriously SHARP!
In order to make this knife so super lightweight, there is not much substantial material in the handle and I don't think this is really a tool that will last through a lot of hard use. Mine arrived with a crack already in the handle just below the belt clip. It hasn't affected the function and I have skinned several deer with it and it is by far the sharpest knife I have ever used for this task. Be advised that although these blades are extremely sharp, they are quite thin and somewhat brittle. This knife is great for skinning, but boning is a bit much to ask of this blade. I have snapped a few blades while separating joints and such. I really like this knife and I may buy the version with the stainless steel handle which I would imagine would be much more durable.

I like the knife
I really like the knives I received Disappointed in the delivery time. I ordered before Christmas. I was really disappointed that I was charged higher shipping when I received three weeks after ordering. I would not of minded paying the extra shipping if you had had them in stock.

The weak point is the pocket clip
This is, as expected, scalpel-sharp, and does a great job on (so far) pheasants and chukar. But the pocket clip caught on some brush, pulled very loose, and ended up cracking the orange plastic to which it is affixed with torx screws.

Nice looking piece.
Looks about as expected. Not for anything heavy duty, just skinning. Neither the blade or handle could handle heavy chores, but that is not why you would buy it. Wicked sharp...

Havalon Piranta
The knife is no frills and has kind of a cheap feel. However it is very functional, light weight and an excellent preformer. It is great for packing in when every ounce counts and its incredably sharp and keep an edge very well for a knife with disposable blades.

Wonderful Knife
I got this knife for taxidermy and it is awesome. The blades are always sharp, and they're easy to change. Some people say the blades are weak, bend, and sometimes break but that is only because they are mis-using it. As long as the blade is sharp (and it lasts a LONG time)you don't have to use alot of force. The handle is comfortable and a good size (female hands talking though)but the handle is also plastic. It's durable but plastic. However, must say it works wonderfully and I'm proud to own it. Hasn't let me down yet. Great for detail taxidermy work and skinning larger animals as well.

Havalon Piranta-EDGE
Pros: Very sharp. Lightweight. Quick-change blades. Easy to use. Cons: A bit on the small size. Pliers needed to change blade. Expensive for what it is. Not much to it. Injection-molded plastic handle, investment cast blade mount, sheet steel liner lock and clip, steel hinge pin and screws. Should retail for half the price that it does.

Do not buy!
I am pretty sure my review doesn't get published because I am speaking the truth; Havalon sells cheap Pakistani JUNK at inflated prices with a huge mark-up. Handles are cheap plastic and blades do not hold the edge. the blades are disposable, CHEAP surgical blades. I purchased blades made in Germany and the hold up 30 times better. Will never buy from havalon again.
