The banks of the Deveron.
Plenty love on the stainless, but quite a lot less on the carbon and they are up to par now. I really like the handle, I have small hands (Size 7.5) and these fit me really well.

i bought heavy duty one to see what it was like, and i'm impressed with it, just need to make the mods to the handles, and have something lined up for the plastic sheaths, as i dought ill make a leather one for these, maybe if i get a chance, but for now, going to try a a mod to the plastic one to make it a bit more versitile.
take care

Lost in the woods
Are you going to put wood on one of the handles? I got two for this reason for modding, as I have some small pieces of oak and some mahogany left over.
I have heard the tang is 3/4 long.
It could be made longer with a welder and a piece of scrap. No welder here mind you.

hi mate i'm not going to completly remove the handle. just make the guard a bit smaller, as i think its very comfy but the guard irritates me.

For that price, they are OK, I believe. However the steel in the Hultafors are nowhere near the Sandvik steel in the stainless Mora knives. The same goes for the carbon steel versions. Over here they seem to have somewhat replaced the Mora-knives as disposables.

my 5 arrived this morning. All were sharp but only one was shaving sharp!
Wonder how the steel quality/hardness is compared to the mora?

Just ordered 11 for these for the Explorer Scouts. Our existing stock are Clippers, but as we've sold many of these off to individual Scouts, or the blade has been seperated from the handle by some over enthusiastic battoning, now is the time to repalce them. We used to be able to get Clippers for £5 wholesale...that price has now doubled.

Anyone know far the tang extends in the Hultafors?
