Review: Does MUCH more than gutting! - I can't believe how useful this little blade has been. I just finished field testing a half-dozen gutting/skinning blades and this one had no competition. It worked marvelously for gutting/field dressing. But also was extremely useful in skinning and quartering out 3 deer getting them ready for butchering and tanning. I used the little blunt tip to separate sections of the hide from the muscle groups while peeling the hide free. Why pull the hide instead of using a skinner style knife to *slice* the hide free while removing it? Because I tan my deer hides to make buckskin with them. Using a knife to skin with doesn't appear to cut or score the hide... *until* you get to certain stages of tanning and all the score marks show up. This little guy helped separate the tough spots very quickly without scoring the flesh side of the hide. I also tested it while quartering the deer and then separating the whole-muscle groups out while processing the rest of the deer down. Edge held up much better than I expected. Will see how easy it is to put a razor edge back on. Very very impressed and is now my go-to gutting/field dressing/skinning and quartering knife. Light for one tool that does all that. Couldn't be happier. Well done guys. [EDIT: 9.20.20 I ended up using this blade to process out 6 deer last season and I was shocked how well the blade retained it's edge. Great steel, especially for how demanding game processing can be. The hide and hair and sometimes bone and joints can really take their toll in dulling down a razor sharp blade. I found that using a chef steel to keep the blade edge tuned up allowed he knife to retain a razor edge through way more deer than I guessed it would have. I only had to actually resharpen the edge with a diamond rod style DMT sharpener at the very end and that was only because I'm pretty particular with how sharp I like to keep my blades. The rest of the time a small chef steel was the ticket to keep the edge "pulled and tuned" just like I use on my boning and chef knives. (The Victorinox chef steels out of Shef. England are the best quality and value I've found). This little light weight folding genius blade now lives in my outdoor pack and will be getting much more use over the years field dressing and processing game. Well done Outdoor Edge! ]

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this knife full tang?**
A: This knife is not full-tang in the classic sense...you cannot see the edge of the tang at the bottom of the handle. However, I get the impression that it extedns through most of the handle and is quite sturdy.

**Q: Where are these manufactured?**
A: Founder and owner David Bloch debuted Outdoor Edge's first product, the Game Skinner—an ulu style skinning knife—at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas in January 1988. Bloch created the knife as his senior design project while attending the Colorado School of Mines. After graduating with an engineering degree in 1986, Bloch refined the design, sought out a manufacturing facility in Japan and began production.

From its humble beginnings as a one-man show with four prototype samples, Bloch’s company, Outdoor Edge, has grown significantly in the past thirty years. Currently, the company has 24 employees and offers more than 120 products. Originally based in Boulder, Colorado, the company moved to a larger facility in Denver in 2010.

**Q: Any idea how to sharpen this knife?**
A: We recommend that you you either send the knife to Outdoor Edge for a free sharpening and tune, or take it into a knife shop to have a pro sharpen it.   

Jeff

**Q: Is this blade sharpened on both sides or only one as was the kershaw that I returned?**
A: Yes the blade sharpened on both sides. Awesome knife!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Folding skinning knife
*by P***D on December 2, 2025*

Fast shipping. Quality knife. Works great. Makes skinning deer much easier and faster. Would recommend this product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A hunters must have
*by A***S on January 24, 2026*

This knife has come in handy time after time while skinning my deers. Extremely sharp out of the package. Once you get a slit on the hide you just simply slide it down the spine and it cuts like butter. It has a textured handle so you get have grip while getting messing. I’ll continue to use my Edge on every deer I harvest.
