Outdoor Edge Razor Pro
]The Outdoor Edge Razor Pro is a replaceable blade hunting knife. In the box comes the knife itself, six replaceable blades, and a carrying case to affix to your belt or bag. Over the past 6 years I have been using the outdoor edge for my game processing needs. Whitetail deer, turkey, duck, and hogs are my primary targets.
The Swap
The blades are the highlight of this knife. They are razor sharp and last an impressive length of time. The ability to field dress your quarry, quickly discard your soiled blade, then replace it in a matter of seconds; before moving onto skinning and/or meat processing is very convenient. I find that it provides a small piece of mind knowing you are not contaminating meat with the same blade used for the dirtier jobs. Quick blade changes also save time ensuring you have a razor sharp blade in seconds if you do happen to dull a blade. A bonus is the OD Edge Razor Pro includes a second blade with a rounded end. I find very nice for “unzipping” large game during field dressing.
The Edge
As mentioned above the OD Edge Razor Pro comes with 6 replaceable blades. They are 3.5” with a drop point curve to them. In order to change blades you simply press the small button on the side, and the blade can exchanged for a new one. The blades come individually packaged so they are kept clean and protected while out hunting. If you use all six blades, don’t worry it is relatively inexpensive to buy “refill packs” a 24 pack of blades costs $28.13 at PlanCSupply.com. As mentioned above the blades do hold an edge for a very long time, and can be sterilized. One final thing to note about the blades themselves is that there are several different blade shapes available that will fit into the OD Edge Razor. Some of the different styles include filet type, gut hook, drop point, and straight edge.
Final Thoughts
Overall I highly recommend the Outdoor Edge Razor Pro. I do still carry a fixed blade for general purpose while hunting or hiking, but as soon as my quarry hits the ground, I’ll continue to reach for the Outdoor Edge Razor.
