Hultafors Ok4 Knife

I bought this as a replacement for my trusty mora clipper I lost recently. The sheath is a nice friction fit and has a loop for a firesteel which is great addition. It clips onto a belt well and the elastic strap can be removed too if desired. The material on the handle is nice a gripy and pleasent to use and fits well in the hand. The blade is carbon steel and has a tough black coating all over the knife blade this is ground away on the bevel the first time you sharpen it so I see it more as rust prevention on the face and to protect during shipping rather than use. It also has some measurements etched into the coating I'm not sure how useful these are. In comparison to my old mora this knife is much thicker (3mm) and broader (24mm) blade than the clipper which is great. It is not sharp out the box but I wouldn't expect it to be! Having the ability to sharpen and maintain a knife comes with owning a knife. The biggest downside to this knife was the grind this was obviously done quickly at the factory and given the price I understand. Instead of being an even grind from guard to tip the grind tapered towards the tip. This I'm assuming is easy during manufacturing but it makes for a very "blunt" tip which is difficult to sharpen but also strange to use doing any work close to the tip feels off you have to change the angle and that just feels weird to me. I spent about an hour re profiling the edge with a coarse diamond stone to be more consistent as you can see in the pictures and I'm very happy with it. I actually enjoy making this knife my own and improving it. If this is something you want to avoid and use straight out the box then this isn't the knife for you. However as an inexpensive bushcraft knife it's hard to beat. Carbon steel holds a wicked edge and is easy to sharpen this is a fantastic blade for thoes who have never owned or maintained on as well as more experienced outdoors people.

Not the sharpest when you buy it but you can sharpen it up. This is my mule for bushcrafting or cutting thick and hard mushrooms like birch polypore or the hoof mushroom. It's actually sturdy and for the price I'm very glad. I have been sticking it into wood or thick mushrooms and hitting it at the back of the blade with another piece of wood and it's perfectly fine ( this is because its 3.5cm thick at the back). If you sharpen it and remove some of the black paint I'd suggest you to buy Camellia oil to treat it and preserve it from rusting. I apply it with a cotton bud and it's fine if you use it for meat or anything food related. I had it for a year or so now and I'm so glad i bought it.

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.

Was reasonably sharp when new. There is a manufacturing flaw running along about a third of the spine, but it doesn't seem to affect the usefulness of the blade. The point isn't quite symmetrical but it's close enough. Comfy grip gives confidence but doesn't dampen impacts very well. Blade is tough as nails. It's been punished, used to strike and prise and cut, and it is still sound. I've sharpened the edge keener than it was when received, and it remains flawless so far. Some of the black coating has worn off the bevel on the belly due to friction and, of course, from the edge due to sharpening. I oil it to prevent corrosion. Great for removing bark from wood before splitting with an axe. Can even split wood a few inches in diameter when used with a baton. Works well with a ferro rod (not included). The plastic belt loop on the sheath has a rubbish clasp, but the textile loop is excellent. The friction of the sheathe holds the knife well.

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.

Really good knife, worth every penny.

A great, robust, workhorse of a knife. Perfect for abusing in the outdoors - i use mine around camp, and for bushcrafting tasks. The scandi grind is perfect for carving. Makes lovely feathersticks. Comfortable grip, wet or dry. Keeps a decent edge, just a little stropping needed if it starts to dull. Even comes with a ferro rod. Whether you're starting your bushcrafting journey, or just want a knife that you can abuse - this is for you!

This is a okay knife for the reason I purchased it. I wouldn't say the quality is excellent, the holder is not great but it does the job. It's also too big to be able to have it on your person in the UK so not sure how that's going to work using it for outdoor activities. Overall it's better than many things this price and looks strong enough to cope with minor tasks. Given the choice of buying it again I'd probably buy something a lot more expensive.

Super couteau pour peche chantier ultra solide je recommande à cent pour cent

ヘビーデューティーと比べて、グリップが手に馴染みます。 また、背にエッジが立っているため、ファイアスタータが使えます。 刃付けは綺麗ではありませんが、セカンドベベルがあるため、 箱出しで荒い使いを方しても、刃はこぼれ難いでしょう。

Heard and saw the reviews on this knife and took the plunge. Batoning: able to baton but only can be done to smaller logs Feathering : does a great job Filleting : Does the job but not the best cut Will recommend for the casual camper who needs a knife to get things done around the campsite . Not your FX-1 or ESEE . But it’s a heck of a workhorse

Someone at Hultafors had the bright idea to marry the GK blade with the HVK handle. I ordered it without actually holding it in my hand. When I received, I was disappointed to see that the handle was exactly like the HVK's. It has the ridged rubber overlay, which I despise. I find rubber leads to lots of hotspots and sore hands. It's also made for small/medium hands. The good, the blade is tough as nails. I like that it's coated, to protect against corrosion. The spine is squared off, so you can use it with a ferro rod. It also didn't have the secondary bevel that the GK does. Is it worth double the price of the GK? In my opinion, no, but it's a decent alternative to the much more expensive Mora Bushcraft Black. If I could do-over, I'd get the OK1. Same blade, much bigger handle with no rubber. If you already have a GK, sharpen away the double bevel & save your money.
