The Outdoor Edge SwingBlade is a dual-blade folding skinning and gutting knife built for hunters who need clean, efficient field dressing without the weight and bulk of carrying two separate tools. With a 3.6-inch drop-point skinner and a 3.2-inch gut-hook blade both housed in one compact frame, you can switch between them with a simple push of the lock button—no fumbling, no tools needed. The drop-point blade delivers sweeping cuts for precise skinning work, while the gut-hook design opens game cleanly without tearing hair or puncturing organs.

Both blades are forged from AUS-8 stainless steel and subzero-quenched to a hardness of approximately 57–58 Rockwell C, giving you a sharp, durable edge that resists dulling and rust under demanding field conditions. The hand-finished factory edge is ready to work straight out of the box. The ergonomic handle is molded from rubberized TPR in blaze orange—high-visibility in the field and sure-gripped even with blood and moisture on your hands. The balanced design keeps fatigue out of longer dressing sessions, and at 7.2 ounces with an overall length of 8.3 inches, it's light enough to carry without complaint. A nylon belt sheath keeps the knife secure and accessible when you're in the blind or at camp.

Whether you're a serious trophy hunter caping a shoulder mount, dressing a elk down to pack out, or gutting upland game, the SwingBlade cuts out the guesswork and the extra knife. It's a straightforward, proven design that hunters have relied on for years.
