Outdoor Edge SZ-20NC Swingblaze

So I’ve been carrying this knife for many years in the Maine woods come time to chase the elusive Maine whitetail buck. This knife has always been considered by myself and brother to be the most superior in its class. The one and only way I would give it a 4.99 out of 5 stars is because the sheath has one flaw at the loop with the button. I’ve broken 2 and my brother has as well. When this has happened we slide it into a pocket on us and it’s just expected. Opening day 2019 I entered the woods with it and at the end of my air headed to the truck to realize it was lost. Well I’m the stubborn guy that won’t buy the blaze one for whatever reasons. So finding it is rare, 0-2 for me and 1-2 with my brother. Immediately I got another one coming via Amazon this time In the color blaze orange. November 9th I hit the woods with a lower quality knife and sat from 5:30am till 11:30am. Headed home to find my new knife in mailbox, happily I snapped a picture and sent it to my brother who had already had field dressed a 180lb 8 point NH buck with a black powder rifle. 1pm back to the stand with my new knife in tote. 4:13 a doe came on thru with a buck that I’ve been on the prowl for since 2015 when we had our first encounter, that’s a whole other story and I’m glad to say my face is still intact after our first encounter. So I was lucky to make a difficult shot and finally achieved my goal of my target buck. He had gone from a beautiful 10pt to a very heavy horned 8pt. I myself was so worked up that I couldn’t field dress him and had a friend come and help with the drag. Typically I’d call my on my little brother for help and he would automatically do the dressing with no questions. Which I always do the same for him when he has a buck on the ground it’s something we’ve done for years for each other. My hunting buddy of many years was aware of our little agreement and jumped right in, with my new Outdoors Edge knife. Well about half done he stopped and said man this knife is so perfect and asked where he could get one. He was amazed at its good working quality and everything about it. That was a great day in getting that knife and harvesting a buck of a lifetime that put me in the Maine Skull and Antler record book of Maine!!

I used this to skin some rattlesnakes. It's sharp & the side with the nub is great for carefully and precisely slicing down the center and not tearing things up. The blade side is extremely sharp & works great for scraping the fat off of the skin on the inside which is a very delicate operation. It make a great present for friends and family that are outdoorsy.

I have purchased 4 of these now. The 1st I bought for myself a few years ago and was so impressed, I've given 3 more as gifts. I think that speaks for itself.

This is one of the best hurting knifes I have ever owned. Keeps an edge like know other.

Works great. Gutting blade has an unsharpened end that prevents you from releasing the contents of the innards onto yourself and your game. Skinning blade is sharp out if the box. You can change the end of the blade you use (gutting vs. akinning/boning) in about 3 seconds. Open back, so it cleans easily.

Great knife and very sharp. Skinned several deer before needing sharpening. Great price. Great job Outdoor Edge

I bought this as a gift for my son-in-law, who is going to be slaughtering his own sheep instead of sending them to a butcher. They can't afford to pay a butcher. My son has a swingblaze which he uses when he hunts elk. He said it made processing the animal so much easier and safer. He said the zipper blade opened up the elk without worry of catching the gut sack.

Nice flip blade for price works good on all types of animals
