I use one and I’ve never had a less than razor sharp blade. They will easily dull on bone though because the edge is thin. I mainly use mine once, maybe twice and then replace it.

I got one as a gift for by birthday its been very sharp right on par with my Havalon. I think I slightly prefer to Havalon just because it has a more backbone. Both are great.

Interesting. Last weekend we used my Havalon and my buddies outdoor edge on his bull. His was every bit as sharp as mine.

I have never had one that wasn't scary sharp. But like said above, bone VERY quickly dulls them. I love mine

No problems here, you can put a boning blade in them, butchered my entire elk with a couple blades.

I’ve got the same knife. Scalpel sharp but dulls easily. I bet you got a bad batch of blades. I got a pack of Gillette razors replaceable heads for shaving once that we’re so dull they literally would not cut a single hair. Quality control failure.

You musta got a bad batch of blades, they've always been scary sharp out of the packaging, in my experience. I'm the world's worst knife sharpener....I require replaceable blades.

I think you got a bad batch of blades. Mine have always been razor sharp but I agree the blades do dull quickly.

I have the 3" model and have used it as my daily knife and hunting knife the last 2 years. I have never had a dull new blade and am impressed with how easy they are to sharpen after use.

I 'd guess, like others you got a bad batch of blades. I've used Havalon knives and have always had sharp blades, but I never recall hearing bad things about Outdoor Edge.

I am good now, but prefer the havalon. That field work sharp guide is slick though. Thanks everyone
