Outdoor edge, Great field processing kits and very sharpe!

Sea To Summit out of Boulder. Awesome light weight gear and super packable. They just introduced a ton of new products for 2013.

I bought their big kit and yes the knives were sharp but I could not make it through a full antelope without having to sharpen the blades no less than 5 times. I went and purchased their swing blade because it is constructed with a better grade steel.

I have one of their sleeping bags.
