Just found out that Heinnies have reduced most of their Hultafors knives to under five pounds Here, these are similar to Mora's. Original source of this information is parbajtor on Britishblades, thanks.

Might have to place me an order for a couple more of these, love em.

For info on how tough they are, have a look at this video i did, part 1 of 5 below, all manner of things including a few things you would never do in real life to a knife.

Well after seeing what Kepis did to that knife and that it stayed sharp, I ordered yesterday afternoon and those nice people at Heinnie Haynes delivered these to me early this morning. That was a fast delivery.
They should do me for a bit of carving practice.

Just bought 2 of these for me and the missus!! Can't really pass up a knife for a fiver - and it's been a while since we bought anything for our wanderings!

Word of warning with these - although I prefer the handle to the Mora, the blade needs a lot of work to get it to the same standard - the points are absolutely blunt!

That said I think they will be worth it.

You must have had a bad batch Dougster, everyone of these i have owned (a dozen plus now) be it a HVK or GK
has been shaving sharp straight out of the box, needed no work doing to them at all, there again, i could also have been lucky i suppose

The point is the issue. The flat edge is great and most of the curve of the belly, but I put the point against my finger, pressed and twirled with no damage.
