I've got both the Havalon and the Razor Blaze. The Havalon is lighter and it works fine but is a bit delicate. The Razor Blaze is a bit heavier and seems more robust. What I like most is the ease of changing blades on the Blaze.

Agree on all points.

Got mine in the mail yesterday, surprisingly heavier than I thought at 6.5 ounces.....still it's been added to my pack. Hopefully it gets use this weekend.

I received mine last week. this is the second one I own. I like it and feel safer using the Outdoor Edge.

I re-upped for the knife and got my dad and buddy to sign up as well. Great promo Eastmans. I think I'll keep using my Havalon for deer/antelope and switch to the Outdoor Edge for elk since I think it will be quite a bit sturdier.

No I did not an e-mail.
I am setup on auto renewal as of last year for both magazines. Been a subscriber to both for several years. :)


We ran a deal for Autorenewals the other day, sent out an email with a link. I take it you must not have gotten the email?

I ordered EBJ and the knife ... but somehow shipping sent me an Elk Bugle instead!! I called and they immediately corrected the situation and shipped my knife. Should have it any day now.

I suppose my response should have went to Scott instead. Thanks BC for bringing this up too. Hopefully you have received your email.

I have hunted the SE US for many years but am new to western big game hunting. I have been in the market for a new knife and looked closely at both the Outdoor Edge and the Havalon. I have also been thinking about subscribing to Eastmans magazines. When I saw this promo I subscribed to EBJ and EHJ and got the knife. Talk about a win-win situation. Thanks!!

I would think that the blade on the Outdoor Edge would be a little stronger, just with added support that the blade slides into versus the Havalon just being a thin blade. This will be the first year I will be using the Havalon, so the old Buck knife is going with me to until I know what the Havalon can do. Does anyone know what the weight difference is?
Just got mine, a quick review shows it is easier to load a blade than the Havalon, more rigid, it is heavier and will preform more like a knife than the havalon.

I havent used it yet, but overall I do like it. The havalon will continue to be my lite weight backpacking knife as I think it will be easier to cape out a deer, the Edge might preform better on elk in that case.

Im used to scapels, so those used to a knife will likely like the Outdoor Edge.

A local sporting goods store had them on sale for $34 which included a free package of blades so I bit. I was reading reviews and some guys were saying the black blade holder sits too far down on the blade. Being a guy who likes to tinker, I ground off part of the blade holder and then sharpened the edges so they run to a sharp edge on both sides to the blade. It looks factory and it still has nice bits of my big horn sheep that I shot the other day...
