these knives are less than half the price in Europe, best low budget knife out there

I've just bought 2 of those and I live in the UK. They are about 27.20 Canadian dollars each so about £16.00. you can't complain as the basic knives are around the £8-10 mark. For the extra features it's a win as this kind of knife is brilliant for throwing into a pack, toolbox or back of a car.

I bought one of these a few years ago and have never loved a knife more ( modified the sheath though,;cut the top off the plastic bit and sowed the remainder to the nylon loop). Sold my more premium knives (fallkniven, Peltonen and terävä) and kept this, it suits me more. A very underrated performer in the bushcraft world and a knife you could bet your life on in a pinch. I know SK5 steel is considered cheap but it's so easy to sharpen and so tough, I just can't find fault it.

You also have the Hultafors Ok1, it's like the GK heavy duty but for outdoor use. Hultafors makes great knives, the sheath and nylon belt loop make the hultafors OK outdoor knives excellent choices! Thank you for the review.

Great review Mark. Thanks for the kind words! Cheers, Gary

Looks to be another great budget friendly option. Thanks for sharing it Mark.

it's awesome. 15 euros (Netherlands), and nearly indestructible. it is Absurdly strong.

Thanks again, Mark.

Check out the Hultafors 380110 OK1 Outdoor Knife , it's the OK4 blade ,with the HD handle.

Wonderful review! Thanks!

Great Performance From This Blade, Thanks For Sharing This Demo Mark ! ATB T God Bless

Hey Mark, Love your product reviews but it would be nice if you occasionally did a "camp" video with set-up, products used, bushcraft tips, etc. Thanks!

Thanks for the review, Mark! I've got (as one reactor calls them) "hobbit hands", so handle size wouldn't be a problem for me on any of the knives. This one's price is more back to normal on Amazon in the US, considerably less than the Canadian price - just under $30 USD, so about 1.5 times the price of the GK for me. It might make a good backup, but for now I'll be sticking with my gifted Mora Kansbol.

My traditional bushcraft knives are the Mora bushcraft/companion (here in Europe about 50/22 EUR) but then I found the cheaper Hultafors`s and tried them (GK/OK4= 10/26 EUR) with good results! Now my option for batoning and heavier tasks is the GK (to spare my more expensive Mora), and for the other Tasks I use the Mora companion or the Hultafors OK4, which work very well at a very reasonable cost-benefit rate (I do not see the point to spend more) Besides these knives I usually carry my machete for the big tasks and some Swiss army knife/Opinel for the finer tasks and food prep. I love Opinel for its simplicity! and lately I found a good alternative in the Portuguese Jose Da Costa folding knives (Merendeira model), which are also very good looking!

Estupendo vídeo. Un saludo desde Barcelona ( Spain)

Good review Mark , thanks for sharing , God bless brother !

Great review!

Great review Mark. These are definitely another budget choice to compete with Mora. Cheers my friend!

I got one😁😉. Thanks for the review.

Looks amazing my friend thanks for share your video. Im gonna try to find it. 🙏

That’s one of my favorites. I had to sharpen it. The edge was easy to sharpen and holds its sharpness very well. I like the size a lot. It’s also the only knife that claims ok to baton ( even though I don’t find a need to baton) I paid $25 in US Great video as always

Great review.

Very cool knife and thanks for sharing. I don't own any Hultafors knives, but I have several Morakniv's though. I guess I'm going to have to get me one to try out. 👍Take good care and Cheers!

Nice sharing 🥰🥰🥰

Got the same issue with my larger hands and the GK does fit the hands better. I really like the Mora Kansbol on food for its thinner blade.

The GK in the 'bushcraft' edition is the OK1. What you have is the OK4. The GK has been the knife in use for the Bushcraft Association since 2011. I agree the handle of the GK can be bulky for small hands where the handle of the HVK and RFR can be just a bit small for extra large hands. These rubber overmold handles do provide some extra grip that I don't need but are much harden to clean. So to me these OK knives are not worth the extra money but that's personal.

G'day Mark, I didn't realise they had as many models, thanks for showing them mate. No stainless variants ? Well at least there is an option for a larger belt, though I like the reverse clip idea, just longer. A bit extra tang never hurts, but not sure why one would want a ruler on ones blade. I'm with ya, I like the handle material, though whack it on the larger model. Cheers Duke.

Nice video, the OK4 here in Sweden goes for about 21 CAD...a really good knife for that price.

You hit the nail on the head, I have smaller hands so the hds handles swamp my hand but the OK4 is just about perfect, I got mine for £15 (30 Loonies) a few years ago which is not a bad price. The paint doesn't flake off the blade over time but does wear down. It's a very reliable knife to stick in a pack, it will do most jobs and won't break the bank if it goes walkabout. If I was ultra fussy the sheath was made of thinner plastic than the dedicated craftsmans knives, why? Maybe they've put this right by now?

There's also the anniversary edition (the 325, alternatively as the OKW), with hickory handle & leather sheath. If you have a thick wallet; check out either the Rokka Korpisoturi or one of the MoraKniv Ash knives.

Still a really reasonably priced knife. Cheap actually. I’m surprised a company that makes such expensive stuff has such a budget line.

Good video 😎👍🍀🔥… I have the OK1 … it’s the same blade like OK4 but the grip is bigger … try this 😜👍🍀🔥

Good looking knife, I like the size of the blade, nice color. Have you seen the Opinel picnic? It’s a fork and spoon that attaches to the number 8 knife.

Hello from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦🖐👍❤🤴🎪🎠⛺🖌🎨🌲🚐🌳🏞☀️🤳🌍

I just decided to get the GK. Sharpen the spine; wrap the handle and force a vinegar patina.

Hi mate, the knife you're looking for is the OK1

Nice review, thank you. That shirt! Looks like something I've been looking for. Who makes it please?👍

there is slso a version of both the Craftsman orange (carbon) and blue (stainless) with that overwrap handle better for smaller hands

Hi Mark, Nice review of a nice knife. However, how does it stack up against the more robust bushcraft knives? Also, like a Mora, it has a stick tang (a serious No-No to the bushcraft Gurus), and no lanyard hole. Also it doesn't seem to be a Scandi grind! Ouch. But, as you demonstrated, the knife is perfectly capable of doing the lighter varieties of bushcraft tasks or work, using appropriate material and not getting overly ambitious. Now, I have a challenge for you! Victorinox has just launched a new dedicated bushcraft fixed blade knife series called the Venture, which I think is a VERY interesting newcomer to the genre! It is a knife which emerged from the skill and experience of Felix Immler (ref) and he had a large input into the various new design features incorporated in the design and production of this knife. Without going into the details, my challenge to you is to get hold of one and do an in-depth test and review of this new bushcraft knife. I'd be fascinated to hear what you think!

18:32 The OK 4S. What you’re asking for is the Hultafors OK 4S Outdoor Knife.

Too bad about the price, it's ~USD20 in Sweden (w/o the ferro rod). And also, there are the OK1: same blade and the GK-handle (it's been around since 2016...)

You would like the OK1 better than the OK4

Better value and same functionality with the GK. Just my 2 cents.

What can I do ... I'm a knife man... 🤗❣️

Looks like a rebranded Mora.
