HultaforsOk4 Knife

I’ve had the knife for 3 months now to replace one of a similar vein, a Morakniv companion.Hultafors’ option is superior in basically every way.The sheath is pretty standard plastic, but it’s separate from the belt loop, which is great for me due to knife laws where I live. Quick on/off.The knife itself is fantastic, I don’t know how they make them so good at the price point.The handle is comfortable, with a good texture to give you a secure grip. It really never feels like it’ll slip out your hand. The blade itself takes and holds an edge very well, it came sharp but only took 5 minutes on a 1000/6000 grit whetstone to be sharp enough to shave. It held that edge through a solid 4 days of use on a camping trip where I used it pretty much non stop all 4 days.The only flaw, and I use “flaw” VERY lightly, is it’s a touch dented on the spine from being hammered through wood. This isn’t really a flaw of the knife itself, had I used a bit of wood the way I’d usually do it would’ve been fine, but I had a framing hammer to hand and used that instead. The dents are minor and I could really fix them, I just don’t care to.A must buy at a price point that hides the sheer quality and robustness of the knife. For me, expensive blades are for chefs. For an every day fixed blade I want a number of things and this ticks every single box.

I purchased this knife after comparing different products and their reviews. Upon receiving it I was thoroughly impressed. Pretty sharp out of the box, a couple passes on my hone and strop and it was good enough to shave. After putting it through its paces with whittling and using it to baton kindling, it's held up really well. Always comfortable in the hand, the handle is a great size and the texturing feels secure. The blade is a good size, the black coating is fairly durable but is wearing off on the spine. As the knife is carbon steel it should be kept dry or it will rust in these exposed areas. The edge retention is good, it sharpens quickly, the point alignment is decent. For the money I'd say this is as good as it gets.

I'm no knife 'expert' but I have used this in several survival situations on the moors already. Will skin and gut a rabbit no problems. It will also cut up smaller pieces of wood or make kindling to start a fire. I personally use a folding 7 inch saw to cut any more substantial pieces of wood but for everything else this hufflator performs more than adequately. Nothing worse than a blunt knife at 3am when stuck on a cold moorland and need it. Thus, I also take a knife sharpener with it. Sharpens up lovely though - real pleasure to cut flesh or wood or whatever really. Feels nice and solid too - I think is some kind of ultra hard rubber, which also makes it pleasing in the palm. Wonderful at the price too. A real keeper. Could also be used to make a spear too or light a fire with a flint. Fantastic

Very nice ergonomics, decent steel, but not sharp out of the box. It was very dull when I received it but after a few minutes on the diamond stone and strop its very sharp indeed and has held it well so far. The handle is comfortable and allows a great deal of control. I also like the sheath, which fits well and has a loop for a fire steel. So far Im happy but I must admit at £23 I think it was priced a little high.

I have been on many adventures with my knife since purchase and it has never faltered, and it has taken some beatings! I keep it sharp and it is brilliant and comfortable, it 'just' clips into the holder you can feel the clip, enough to ensure it doesn't fall out but not so much that you can easily pull it out one handed. It has taken some heat, heating meat on it by the fire and the handle shows no sign of melting. I have nothing negative to say about this knife.

Much better than the other models of their knives, lasts longer and keeps an edge for a much longer period of time!

Pro’s - is a knife and not horribly expensiveCons’s - out of the box I have spoons that are sharper than this

So far so goodI do wild camping and bushcraft and I’ve really abused this knife and it’s holding up well
