What blades are you running on your tyto? I'm sure this has been asked before but I was wondering if havalon or other 3rd party/generic blades work with the handle.
Has anyone tried using one of those cheap plastic scalpels with disposable blades? You can get one on ebay for 10 bucks with 100 60A blades. I wish I had known about these before I spent all that money on the tyto.
I also use this one in my binocular harness but I just leave the blade off until it's needed. Helps save some weight and more importantly in my case some space because the pocket is small.$2.50 from Havalon direct. This is my go-to in my bino harness. I fashioned a kydex sheath similar to the Tyto one, so I'm into the whole deal for about $4.

I’ve really gotten to like the havalon 70A blades. They have a round tip without a sharp point. Excellent for skinning...excellent for cutting near the bloating belly of a dead caribou. You can roll the knife over on its back and unzip the skin off a leg....or run it down the centerline of a carcass.
Just enough tip get things done as well. I’ve been carrying three 60A and three 70A blades in my kill kit...but have pretty much been using the 70A blades exclusively lately.
They are harder to find than the 60 blades.
I also use a Tyto handle with a paracord wrap. Works quite well. Good blade control. Four caribou, a black bear, a few deer and a bison have all come apart to it. No bone saw used. All joints come apart.

I sent a message to Tyto awhile back asking if the 60A or 70A blades would fit because they are far superior than any other 60 blade I have tried. The response I got was all the blades are sourced from the same places and would fit. I don't believe them on the sourcing or Havalon does some additional sharpening because their blades are way sharper than most normal 60 blades. I like the A blades because the little bit of extra thickness means I almost never break a blade compared to the XT blades I would snap the backbone right over the attachment point.
