Havalon Knife Company History

After Matt struggled with dull hunting knives in the field, he and Cutshall combined their passion for hunting and expertise in surgical blades to launch Havalon.
Based in Michigan, Havalon pioneered knives with scalpel-grade stainless steel replaceable blades, changing the game for hunters and anglers. Today, Havalon persists as an industry leader constantly innovating knives from skinning to gut hooks to folding knives optimized for game cleaning and processing.

Havalon knives Vs. Morakniv Knives
Havalon has firmly established the usefulness of replaceable scalpel-like blades for detailed cutting tasks requiring accuracy and finesse. Their specialty lies in enabling repeated precision during hunting or medical applications where preserving delicate anatomical structures is paramount.
In contrast, Morakniv Knives has earned its reputation through fixed blade knives blending robustness and versatility to tackle daily rigours. With sturdy construction, Morakniv empowers enthusiasts to face myriad outdoor challenges, exemplifying a preparedness to serve whether batoning or whittling wood, dressing game, or sweating over the camp stove.
Both companies are united in furthering knife effectiveness, albeit through divergent means. Havalon ensures flawless cuts every time by relying on conveniently swappable blades manufactured to exactly fit the purpose. Morakniv takes the soldier’s approach, forging fixed blades to prevail through prolonged battles with the elements across years of use.
When minute control and repeatable razor incisions are needed, Havalon becomes the intuitive choice. For those seeking a steadfast outdoor ally offering jack-of-all-trades practicality from woodlands to homestead, Morakniv satisfies.
Together, the brands cover both precision and resilience, giving knife users the means to capably handle detailed handiwork or the ruggedness of the field. The end application dictates which approach satisfies best.
