Do they break?.
On the yank forums you read horror stories or love them both ends of the spectrum.
Do you have this as your only back up instead of a small folder?.
What life out of a blade and cost?.

Hi Owen. Note that my one has a pocket knife blade and a scalpel blade. I find I actually use the standard blade on that Havlon more than the scalpel. I used it to headskin a Fallow recently and used the main blade except for around the eyes and some fine stuff around the coronet.
Changing the blade is really simple. The scalpel blade lasted 100% for that job.
I haven't used it enough to know if they break but it doesn't feel like they will if you are sensible.

Yes, its the 2nd knife that is always in my pack.It wouldn't be if it didn't have the ordinary blade on it as well.
