Outdoor Edge Replaceable Blade Knives

[airedale]

So I had a chance to use one of those Outdoor Edge replaceable hunting knifes that Amazon will not ship to NY State. These knives follow the same scheme as the old transition from straight razors to safety razors, instead of sharpening when dull, you just toss the old blade and put in new. 

The blades for these knives are very sharp and hold their edge well, but here is the thing. After doing some skinning work and meat cutting I put the blade to one of my good stones and had it razor sharp again in a jiffy. In my opinion it would be stupid or just plain lazy to throw away the blade and not resharpen it. Personally I will keep sharpening the blades until they will no longer hold an edge.

That's a great idea Al ! never thought to re-sharpen a replaceable blade. But it makes perfect sense to do it. I actually enjoy sharpening my knives. So why not these too?

The basic pull thru sharpener works great on those blades also, I can usually get 2-3 deer processed from each blade being resharpened before it reaches a point of being too thick where a new bevel angle is needed.

That is a good tip, I have one of those pull through carbide sharpeners mounted on my kitchen island for kitchen knives, I ran the Outdoor Edge knife through it a couple of times and she was razor sharp, quick and easy.

The morons will ship blades all day long but will not ship the knife itself.
