Just bought my first Hultafors knife. I didn't really need one, but I've been eyeing them up for a while.

I've used Frosts/Mora knives in the past, and first impressions are that Hultafors are just as good if not better, and cost less.

They're excellent knives. I've got 2 of the orange handled carbon steel ones and they sharpen up nicely on an oilstone.

Just ordered two.


I'm a fan of mora knives but they've started getting expensive.

I lose a lot of stuff so I like cheap but good knives

Superb little knives. I have one with a rubberised handle. I spent a while putting an edge on it and tidying up the spine, drilled the handle and added a lanyard and it was good to go. Mine was a freebie from a local shop because I am a regular customer and has been in near constant use ever since. Downside is it marks and/or rusts incredibly easily so keep well oiled. If like me you use it for breasting or gutting give it a wipe over with a vegetable oil or similar, I use walnut oil because I use it in the workshop so it is always to hand.

I was at a shop that sold them, and they only had the standard craftsman with the orange handle.

I've got big hands, so needed the Heavy Duty version that's a little bit bigger.

The chisel I bought, I like, I did take it into the field with me last year, however there were no chiselling opportunities so it remained unused.

I think I might need to keep that with my tools and I can use it for getting through the bark strips on firewood.
