[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1234252, member: 33822"] The first time I used a havalon on a backpack hunt, I got the knife out to skin a bull and it scared me how razor sharp and small it was. I just had an intuition that it could cut me very badly very easily. I've gotten more comfortable using it and all of my knives are sharp, but something about that little piranta made me think if I really wanted to use it. Cutting yourself in the backcountry with any knife could be devastating, but the havalon is sharper than any knife I have ever used on an elk. I still plan on using my havalon but good lord I'm careful. I also just skin out the head and remove the jaw to save weight. And I also do European mounts with most of the Bulls i shoot. On a regular basis I just don't want the weight of a saw. I also remind myself how the Indians used to skin and butcher animals with very few tools. Simple is good and makes for a lightweight setup.
