Havalon Forge - Black

Great knife. I have a couple of them. I keep one in my pocket at all times. I use it for everything from opening boxes and packages to skinning,gutting, and deboning game. Havalons customer service is top notch. I had a little trouble with my first knife that I purchased at a sportsmans expo. When I contacted Havalon they promptly replaced the knife. In todays economy where Customer Service is almost non-existant once they have your money; Havalon stands hands and shoulders above the rest

I recently purchased the Havalon Piranta Forge to replace a Havalon Piranta Torch that I lost. I like everything about the knife except that the blade pops off at the most inconvenient times. I just got back from a Texas Whitetail Hunt and came home disappointed with the knifes performance. I just couldnt keep the blades on the knife all the time. I lost the blade once while gutting an animal which made the job a lot riskier than I would have liked. (Luckily I was almost done when the blade came off) I also lost the blade while skinning and quartering which wasnt nearly as big of a deal, but still frustrating. I am returning this knife to where I bought it and will replace it with the Havalon Torch.
