Review: Deer gut knife - The Gerber I like the best from other saws I've used. They bright orange trim and handle is a big bonus a lot of time we are gutting at night. I don't pay attention as good as I should were I sit it down the orange makes it much easier to find. It works great on the pelvic and the brisket. Safer and easier than trying to get through those areas with your knife and also save on the blade of your knife. The pouch is easy to clean after use in the sink or a lot of times I just through it in the washer with my cloths I gutted with. Saw stays sharp for several seasons and are cheap enough when they finally do get dull I just buy a new one. Typically though I accidentally loose them before they go dull but that's on me.
Review: Written because of some of the other reviews... - I have used this knife for perhaps the last five or so years; I was introduced to it by a hunting buddy. Most of what I use it on is moose and caribou, with the occasional bear. I find it to be a very good knife for getting the hide off the animal. Some of the complaints I have seen - that prompted this review - is that the blades do not stay sharp and the knife is difficult to clean. Let's tackle that second one first. I find a stiff bristled toothbrush to work wonders for cleaning this knife. There you have it - problem solved! I haven't kept track of how many times I change blades, if I do, in the course of cutting up a moose, but I've never felt that it was excessive. I believe I've made it through a whole moose on one blade. Keep in mind... this is one tool. I don't use it for the whole moose. I have a couple of fixed blade knives for the thicker, tougher stuff, like cutting through the rib cage and separating the hind quarters. This seems common sense to me. Those aren't jobs for a thin-bladed replaceable blade knife. I bring that up because one review said it worked poorly for removing the back-strap. I'd suggest he/she needs to re-evaluate the idea of using this for back-strap. For what it's for, I find it to be a darned fine cutting tool. I'm very happy with mine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lightweight, sharp and small...maybe too small?
*by J***S on December 3, 2025*

I bought this saw a few weeks ago because I needed something lightweight, relatively inexpensive and small to carry in my pack for a swamp hunt on a refuge. I knew I would need to gut and break down my kills in the middle of the swamp and I figured this saw would fit the bill to go along with my OE razor-lite knife. It ended up working out as a near perfect combo. Relatively easy to saw through the bones on multiple hogs and deer. The hooked blunt end definitely helped when messing with the pelvic bone prior to finishing the gut job. I do wish it was about an inch longer, but I guess that takes something away with the portability of it. Gerber needs to make a saw like this with a slightly larger handle to where the saw length can be adjusted by allowing part of the saw blade to slide up into the hilt/handle for packing and then lengthening it when the work begins.
