Hey everybody, Brandon Mason here with Eastman's.
We're out in beautiful Wyoming. It's September.
The elk rut is on and we've been in to bulls.
I just haven't found a shooter yet,
but we're taking a break in the action here, and I wanted to share a
little something about what Outdoor Edge has going on.
They came out with the Razormax.
Their first fixed blade, replaceable blade knife.
And besides that being a difference from the rest of their knives,
they also offer a longer fillet blade
that's interchangeable with the standard three and a half inch blade that comes
with most of their knives.
And so we're going to show you that today.
So everybody knows that we've been working with outdoor edge for quite a few years.
They have literally changed the game when it comes to replaceable blade knife technology and just functionality.
Their knives have been fantastic.
The blades are also able to be resharpened,
if you want to rather than buying blades all the time,
but you can buy blades to replace them and they're disposable if you want them to be.
Now what all of the Razor-Lite series has had in common is they're all foldable knives.
The RazorMax came out and it's their first fixed blade knife.
As you can see it comes with its own sheath.
The sheath is a bit modular actually.
And what I mean by that is,
the replaceable blades have a blade holder system that's velcroed on to the sheath.
and if you don't want that;
if you're more of a minimalist, you can take that off and use that separately if you want.
So right now, I have the standard 3.5" blade that Outdoor Edge has on the
rest of the Razor-Lite series.
It's similar to a reciprocating saw.
Push the button,
The blade easily comes out.
and the sheath, the blade sheath, or the blade holder, is actually extremely durable; made of steel.
That's what they've had so far. Only it was foldable. This one's fixed blade.
Now this year, they have a fillet blade that came with it.
And so this is a 3.5" blade. The fillet blade is a 5" blade
and is actually held in the blade holder system.
So there's a pocket in this additional sheath that holds a total of three blades of each size.
One of them, obviously, is on the knife.
so I have 2 additional 3.5" blades in here
and I have 2 additional fillet blades in here
and then I have the fillet blade that I've been using in this blade holder little plastic box.
Which is handy, because once you open them from the plastic container,
of course that's not usable anymore.
So Outdoor Edge was thinking ahead and
they came up with this blade holder system which is pretty cool.
Holds the extra blade.
You can see that longer blade and I'm gonna quickly, within seconds, put that in to the RazorMax.
The reason that the Outdoor Edge came up with this,
is number one, you can use this in the kitchen if you want to as a fillet knife,
you can use it for fishing and you can use it for hunting.
I've used it on an antelope hunt already this year.
This fillet blade was really handy at taking out the back straps and some other parts of the meat.
Now can you do it with a 3.5" blade? Of course you can.
But this just makes the job a little bit easier and each blade lasts a little longer then,
because you're spreading the workload between two different blades,
rather than just one blade that you have on the knife.
And so put this down.
pull the knife out of the sheath,
and you can see in just seconds, push the button,
it pops out, and pop this one in,
and when you hear the little snapping sound, that means, it's locked in.
and you can see the difference in that blade length big time.
So it gives you quite a bit more cutting surface, especially when you're on large bodied animals like elk.
You know that the hides really thick. The back straps are really deep.
And so it's nice to get all the way into that spine in that rib area when you're doing that cut nice and easy.
So that's what Outdoor Edge has that's new,
called the RazorMax.
