Heinnies, Hultafors knives under a fiver

[northumbrian]

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.

bugger that,lol if i tried that with mine you could call me jesus lol. plus that cheap shop doesnt have the full range heinnies has.

mine came today shaving sharp right to the tip, maybe you had a bad batch doughster.
i'm going to make a few mods to these, and will put up what i have done to them.
take care.

[Dougster]

No more putting the point to my thumb!!

Happy days.

 

[luckylee]

lol, i take it you have given it some love.

 

[Dougster]

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

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.

 

[Dougster]

It's funny, everyone is going on about modding the handle and it's my favourite part of this knife. A mora blade with this handle would be ideal for me.

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.

Exactly, couldnt have put it any better

 

[Hugo]

I must admit the handle is much better that that on my Mora.

 

[Holme]

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.

Blimey, thanks for the heads up.

 

[maddave]

Yup.... cheers for the link. Just ordered a few... great stocking fillers for chrimble !!

 

[lub0]

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?

 

[Dr Onion]

Both arrived next day, both razor sharp! Excellent buy!

[hiho]

just ordered the orange one, aparently packaged and dispatched withn 1/2 hour of ordering

now for the postman to loose it

 

[The Lord Poncho]

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?

thanks for the heads up, cheers op
