[QUOTE="squeeeeze, post: 2573321, member: 34065"] Give us a report back on your perception and experience on the Altitude after you’ve used it some. Sounds like we’re pretty similar in use of knives. Curious how long that holds an edge. I think I spoiled by sharp knives. I keep them sharp as I go, once I feel the slightest dulling, out comes the steel. I don’t manhandle a knife either as I’m usually focusing hard on NOT puncturing that gut sack lol, and trying to keep the edge off the bones as much as possible. When I hear people say they’ve done 6 deer (or even multiple) I have to wonder how much it’s actually dulled? Maybe what they’re doing right and I’m doing wrong haha? Maybe I just feel it more with a small knife and finessing it. I use the gutless method too as I’m almost always miles back and don’t have the luxury of getting a vehicle to it. Everything gets quartered and usually boned out (least amount of weight to pack out) to get in 1 trip. Elk are a different story unfortunately lol. Good luck to you this year. Can’t believe this went 12 pages. A lot of good info for sure. [/QUOTE]
