The Outdoor Edge BL1 ButcherLite delivers professional-grade cutting performance in a compact folding design that handles field dressing and processing tasks with precision. This multi-blade system combines a traditional skinning blade with a bone saw, eliminating the need to carry multiple tools during hunting expeditions.
What Makes This Different
The ButcherLite features a dual-blade configuration that switches between cutting modes without tool changes. While standard hunting knives require separate saws for bone work, this design integrates both functions into a single folding platform. The 420J2 stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to carbon steel alternatives, maintaining edge retention through extended field use.
Key Features
- Dual-blade system with 4.3-inch skinning blade and bone saw configuration
- 420J2 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and maintains sharpness
- Fiber-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle provides secure grip in wet conditions
- Folding design reduces overall length to 5.9 inches for compact carry
- Locking mechanism secures blades during use for enhanced safety
- Textured handle surface prevents slippage during processing tasks

Field testing demonstrates consistent cutting performance across various game sizes, from upland birds to larger ungulates. The saw blade efficiently cuts through bone and cartilage without binding, while the plain edge handles skinning and filleting operations. The FRN handle material maintains grip security even when exposed to blood and moisture, critical factors during processing work.
