Hultafors Ok4 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.

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!

I have had this item for my bug out kit/camping this item appears to be of good quality, and is able to cut rope easily, and barks off a trees,

Feather sticking I'd give a 6/10 Battening I'd give a 7 Comfortable grip Decent sheath with fire steel, works as it should, a great buy for beginner fieldcraft and bushcraft. Does need to be sharpened a bit more out the box though

Nice and sharp good for hunting

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.

This is a perfect knife if you are in the building trade really high quality steel. The sharpness is unparalleled. If you haven’t used hultafors tools before you must try them I guarantee as someone who’s used these tools for over ten years you won’t be disappointed and will end up buying more. I can’t fault them and would highly recommend.

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