Hultafors Craftsman Bushcraft Knife - £3.99

[TrickyT]

Not sure if anyone has already seen this, but found a Hultafors Craftsman Bushcraft Knife for £3.99 reduced from £12.95

http://greenmanbushcraft.co.uk/special-offers/hultafors-craftsman-bushcraft-knife.htm

Being a newbie to this and not wanting to splash out £100+ for a bushcraft knife, thought I would give it a go to use along sine my Mora Clipper.

Would rather learn and damage a cheapie first.

Regards

Trevor

I have had a couple of these i got in sweden years back, superb knives, on par with frosts imo, never used to sell to the UK market untill recently as far as im aware, as I called them a few years back and they basically said if i didnt buy a few grands worth it wasnt worth their while lol, i love dealing with the swedes "!!

Try toolbank I got a box of 10 delivered to Northern Ireland for £32

I watched a U tube video on these some guy reckons the tang is three quarters.
Kepis has done a video on these, along with a destruction test, after seeing that I bought two of them an am well pleased with them.
The handle is a better grip than the Mora that I have.

I have one- ordered from The Tool Vault- their standard price is £2.97 there, so don't believe the Greenman Store price hype- if they were ever genuinely selling those for £13 then they are ripping of the customer on a laughable scale! Their £3.99 'special limited chance offer buy it now or forever wish you had' price is still steep at 25% higher than other web prices.

There was thread on these a while back. I like mine, although in common with others, find the finger guard on the handle a little unwieldy. Apparently it is no trouble to whittle it down, not that i have done that yet.

Good knives for the price! I use the stainless version at work, and have been very impressed by the quality of the steel, they take a good edge and hold it well too.

It's 55 mm.
I cut the handle of a couple this week and re handled one in oak and one in walnut.
I use mine quite a lot for carving and find they are a good buy for the money.
