Genzo Outdoor Knife Ormsjo Orange 440CA

Review by BDS Deer Officer Glyn Ingram – Feb 2021

I was recently sent this new knife to field test. It comes from the same stable as the very successful folding lock knife that we sold last year so I was expecting it to be good and I was not disappointed.

 I have gralloched one muntjac and skinned and butchered a roe and a muntjac so far. The technique that I use for home butchering small deer does not require a saw and, with this knife, I was able to separate all the joints, remove and trim the loins and break down the haunches into diced venison before boning out the shoulders for mincing.

I have also used it as a general kitchen knife for several days. It has performed all tasks very well and has held the factory edge so far without the need for sharpening.

The combination of a full-sized, high visibility, non-slip handle with a stainless-steel blade makes it a great general purpose stalking knife in my opinion. It comes with a black synthetic sheath with a Velcro retainer.

Low-cost knives have really improved over the years and this is another example of a great value item that punches far more than its weight.
