This is an excellent knife. I carry this with a multi tool all around the world and I am set for most problems and jobs I encounter. Best money/quality value. Very good review and agree with everything. A must have for any traveler.

Good review of a good kinife. Just don't know why people still think it's Hultafors answer to the Mora robust where it is the other way around. The Mora robust line of knives is Mora's answer to the Hultafors GK.

Thank you for that unbiased review of an inexpensive knife. For me, this is what bushcraft is all about. Finding a few pieces of simple & robust kit, and using them to make yourself comfortable in the woods. A stainless steel bottle, cup spoon and billycan, a Bic lighter, an inexpensive tarp or two, 15 metres of paracord, and I'm all set for a day outdoors.

Greetings. I hesitated to buy this knife, but your review convinced me to do it. In Poland, the cost of this knife is about 6 hours of work, so it is the best choice between price and quality.

Good review Neil. The plain HD is also very good, a bit plainer handle and a similar blade without the coating - well worth a look.

You have convinced me mate. Thank you for the great review. The older I get the more I'm looking to the strong, light workhorses of Mora and Hultafors and leaving the pricier, flashier Bark River and Fallknivens of the world behind. Am I mad I ask you? I don't think so.

Another great review! Just what I need. I have an aged Frosts Mora Clipper which has seen better days and I wanted a good all round bushcraft tool to get me back on track to use with my Laplander, this seems to be just that! P{rice is great and like you say I won't cry my self to sleep if I lose it (been looking at the Casstrom Lars Falt) I may well just get this on the back of your review so thank you

Have you used the Hultafors craftmans knives? I have one as a safety knife for my kayak but never used it for anything else. I have the heavy duty knife but find it a bit too thick in the blade.

@jelkel25 6 жыл бұрын

There's no way to show on camera just how solid this knife is! I bought this knife about the same time you did but I'd bought a Mora 2000 about 6 months before that and really took to it. Unfortunately as happens occasionally the M2000 kept getting put in my rucksack and this one got left at home. I'm glad I bought it, it's very impressive in itself and I might take to it in the future.

@greencraft4783 6 жыл бұрын

I never took to the blade on the 2000. Try this one out - it's a great bit of kit.

Did a lot of hardwood carving today, partly with a Hultafors chisel knife and it was outstanding, will give the OK4 another look.

@peterkim3485 6 жыл бұрын

thumbs up. I have the OK1. hands down beats all other knives in its class. the only thing I did to modify it was to add a button snap to the sheath to retain the handle.

@masterleatel 11 ай бұрын

I ordered one and it came blunt as a butter knife, bit of an exaggeration but I was kind of disappointed. Ordered a whetstone so let's see how it does after a proper sharpening.

@robmcguire7534 3 жыл бұрын

I've recently received one of these, can anyone tell me if the spine of the knife is supposed to be rough towards the point of the blade?

@pennsyltuckyreb9800 Жыл бұрын

Yep. Mine was rough too. If you don't like that you can always take the spine to some stones and smooth it all out which I did. I also reworked the scandi grind on water stones to a polished surface and stropped on a secondary convex bevel for strength. Love it even more now.

@pennsyltuckyreb9800 Жыл бұрын

I have many Moras and the OK4.....I'd take the OK4 any day over the Moras for several reasons. And DBK did a destruction test with the OK4 against a Mora and some other similar knife and the OK4 was the only one that survived. The OK4 was their pick. Obviously though, it's not the kind of knife for smashing through things constantly. Neither are Moras. Cutting and light batoning should never break this blade. Not sure how you managed to break yours.... I did rework the scandi grind to a polished edge and a slight convexed secondary bevel for strength. Screaming sharp and durable edge now.

@@stefan-D If anyone is breaking either Moras or Hultafors type knives that just means they don't understand the concept of a small knife. Outside of extreme destruction tests like DBK or "Joe X"....I have no idea how anyone would break something like an OK4...lol. like wut
