Outdoor Edge began as a senior design project at the Colorado School of Mines, where mechanical engineering student David Bloch drew up an ulu-style skinning knife called the Game Skinner, then carried a handful of prototypes to the 1988 SHOT Show in Las Vegas and came home with a company. Nearly four decades later, the Denver-based brand Bloch built from his garage has become the name hunters know as the field-to-freezer knife company, with a patent portfolio in replaceable-blade technology, the RazorSafe system, that it has successfully defended in federal court.
The SwingBlade is one of the most clever hunting knives of its generation, an international design combining Bloch's engineering with EKA Knives of Sweden, blade makers since 1882, and professional Swedish hunter Thomas Ekberg. Push the lock button and the knife swings between a 3.6 inch drop-point skinner and a 3.2 inch gutting blade whose blunt tip rides under the hide and opens game like a zipper, without nicking organs or cutting hair. Both edges are AUS-8 stainless, subzero quenched and hand finished shaving sharp, wrapped in a rubberized non-slip grip that works soaked in the worst of it. The SwingBlaze is the same tool in blaze orange, easier to find where you set it down at the gut pile.
The rest of our selection covers the practical spread: the Stratus folder for everyday field carry, the bubinga-handled Pocket Hook for compact dressing work, and the Mini Grip as the little fixed blade that lives in a daypack until deer season. Everything Outdoor Edge builds is field-tested in genuinely rugged conditions and backed by a lifetime guarantee, which is the confidence of a company whose founder still measures a knife by how fast it gets an elk from the mountain into family-sized portions.
