I love the OK4, have it as a "backup-blade" and it´s very strong and comfortable.
By the way! I live in Sweden and Hultafors is Swedish as is Morakniv, In Sweden the Robust is around 10$ and the OK4 18-22$
have one for the same reason. saw a destruction vid, which was hilarious. its build as a tank
On the marketing front they have been virtually non-existent, I've never seen a Hultafors ad, so they're missing a trick there because their knives are just as good as their axes, hatchets etc. They are well priced too, at least in the UK and Europe anyway, the OK4 is one of their more expensive knives, the basic scandis are £10-12 usually under £10, the OK4 and OK1 are £15 so even they're cheap in the UK and Europe. I'd advise people try a basic model before writing them off, at the least you'll have another knife for the collection.✌
The marked ruler is meant for orienteering in conjunction with a map.
Oh I definitely measured the wrong thing with it then 😳
It's also a wink to commemorate the fact that Hultafors invented the folding carpenter's rule.
@@FrankSchweppe thats what its rally for
I bought 4 of them and I love them and so do my friends . It’s a good light knife for your pack or belt. I plan to use mine for fishing and light camping jobs and bush crafting . I love the handles also👍
Price in Sweden is 15-20 USD including the Swedish 25% VAT.
The OK4: I use this for food prep, and to portion and eat my dinner, Medieval style. The small size is great for this. Very happy as it is so useful for daily tasks.
I own both, I like more the ok4, a little longer blade, and feels more solid, and it looks nicer to me, very well done. The right dimension to work with, and at the same time small and light to bring it for long trekkings
I love my Mora model Robust !!!!!!! Thanks for showing this Mora Hultafors OK4 Bush knife , Aaron !!!!!!!!!
I love this Hultafors knife.
Hultafors are about the same price as Mora here in the UK when comparing similar blades. The OK4 can be bought for £13, so just under $20.
I've used the OK4 for years. Its my go to bush and everything else knife.
Good review, I picked up one myself a few days ago as it seemed to have quite a few positive reviews and is pretty comparable on price with the knife I have been using, the Mora Companion Heavy Duty. Over here the Mora goes for anywhere between £16-£18 ($22-$25 at current rates), the Hultafors for about the same.
In my opinion the OK4 is pretty over-rated by a lot of reviewers, you however were pretty much on the money. The OK4 blade is slightly shorter and slightly thinner than the Mora Companion HD although the blade on the OK4 is slightly deeper. The blade on my OK4 isn't quite as sharp as the Mora and has a distinct nick (you can see it reflect) and a slightly uneven edge and as you mentioned the finish isn't great especially on the spine where the drop point is, mine is exactly the same as yours. The OK4 does have a 90 degree spine which the Mora doesn't but a few strokes with a file easily puts a 90 degree spine on the Mora as you point out. So overall IMO the blade on the Mora seems better.
Regarding the handle, I take a size 11 in gloves so I find the handle on the Mora better, slightly longer, slightly deeper and with a little more swell. Handle size and shape is pretty personal but I don't consider the OK4 to be better, just different.
So we come to the sheath, the OK4 sheath feels less rigid and the plastic is pretty thin compared to the sheath on the Mora, it's probably fine but it certainly isn't better than the Mora. The nylon belt loop seems like a good idea but I feel Hultafors missed a trick by not putting a press stud on the nylon loop to allow you to fit it to a belt without needing to remove the belt or to fit it to a belt with pouches without needing to remove the pouches or indeed allowing it to be attached to molle webbing, that said it does provide an extra option over the Mora sheath. However the biggest downside for me with the OK4 sheath is the plastic belt clip, I much prefer the open rear clip on the Mora as I like to carry my Mora in a cargo pocket with the clip attached to the actual pocket or carried outside the pocket but again clipped to the pocket so for me the Mora sheath is the winner. I personally wouldn't recommend the OK4 over the Companion Heavy Duty, I feel the overall quality of the Mora is just a bit better but really given that they cost the same in the UK the choice comes down to how they feel in the hand, smaller hands may prefer the OK4. Given the price difference in the USA between the Mora Companion HD and the Hultafors OK4 I'd take the Mora every time. I really don't understand why so many reviews refer to the OK4 as a Mora killer, I just don't see that at all, there simply isn't a big enough difference. I need to point out that I'm not a Mora fan, I just happen to have one although I would like to try a Bushcraft Black mainly for the extra length and depth of the blade over the Companion but they seem to be out of stock everywhere just now and at £50 or so it's a heavy premium for a blade that's at most about 1/4" longer and 1/4" deeper.
Anyway, enjoyed your review, thanks.
Thanks for the review. As always very honest, non basis. Definitely a brand of knife that I was unaware of but will now look into. From the information you've provided on it will be a healthy competitor for Morakniv Robust, if the $ drops as it becomes readily available.
👍 Good alternative comparison. Based on your review I went looking. I found a new OK4 Outdoor knife for $30 and an OK4 Heavy Duty version for $18. Both through Amazon. I purchased both to compare them.
The extra hard plastic top is made to klick on a button from your clothes, the nylon is for a belt. If you click it open you see its made for a button on your work clothes
Thanks for the good video. I believe that OK4 is a sufficient knife in 99% of cases. Of course, it's good to have an ax and saw if you need to cut a lot of trees. In that case, a longer knife is no substitute for an ax either. OK4 costs approx. 25 euros / 26.8 USD here in Finland
I used one on my boat and was impressed how it held up, for fishing, cutting ropes etc. then it didappeared. Ive just ordered another. 10 quid here in uk.
Its not a disaster if you lose it at that price. Value.
I love the Ok4 for the handle - grippy rubber, , balance and sheet. Moras sheets are often a bit too simple and too small for the belt. The blade on the ok4 seem to have a small microbevel as someone mentioned below and I find the mora slightly sharper out of the box.
Mine doesn't seem to keep an edge very well. Maybe that is because I am not good at sharpening it.
After I use it to eat my dinner, it has gone blunt again.
Neither do I sharpen it often. Luckily, I cook and eat tofu these days (it is very soft food).
I've had my OK4 for a few years now, and it's OK. If I had to choose between one of my Hultafors though it would be my GK every time.
I love my OK4...3 years as my go to knife and it is a perfect mix of high strength and light weight. It's nicer in the hand and in use than it has any right feel.
The exact same thing can be said for the fantastic Mora Robust if we're being honest but for a little more money (in Europe) I like the OK4 for the better/more confortable handle and sheath.
I bought a new Hultafors OK4 here in Atlanta for under $20.00 2 years ago, much better than any Mora you can compare it to! But, I absolutely LOVE my MORAS!
Good comparison thanks Aaron enjoy your week buddy
In Canada the Hultafors OK4 is available for $30 CAD usually, which is about $22 USD.
Mora companions are the same price as the OK 4’s here in Australia. Around 35-40 dollars.
The price in Norway is $27.17 at the moment in writing. Plus shipping. The cost of the shipping from Sweden to Norway is likely lower than to anywhere else as we are neighbouring countries.
I'll pick one up and try it out. Being outdoors and about every week all year my knives are seeing some action. I normally buy Helle, Brusletto and some Øyo. But Hultafors has great quality tools so I am excited to try it out. :)
Bro, I'm just wondering. Both Sweden and Finland are big on the outdoor knives. Is there a Norwegian brand? That does something like that.
I must say i own both and i like the OK1 more. The OK1 has an bigger en broomstick like extemely comfortable handle. Feels more solid than the OK4. Thx for the vid 👍🏼👍🏼
By the way. Bought the Hultafors firesteel to put in the sheeth and i must say its a fine firesteel really good. Cuddos to Hultafors for such a bargain.
I put this set in my caravan as a backup set. 👍🏼🏕🔪
Important difference: The OK4 has a microbevel that allows you to keep the protective coating on the grind as well.
Lamnia has them for $29.99. They’ve got a huge selection of knives and outdoor gear that you don’t commonly find in the USA. If you spend $112 total they offer free 2 day shipping also. Lamnia is a great company!
I really enjoy how the "pro" in the Mora knives does not stand for a gimmicky attempt on using words to sell more knives. The Pro series is for professionals, mainly construction. according to them that is the reason why the spine is not ground to a 90 angle. With that said, please don't make the mistake of purchasing a pro series and take it camping expecting a good scrapper...
Thanks for a good review. I'm a Mora nut, and I hit your video because I was curious about Hultafors. If I don't find a Hultafors in a price range similar to Mora's, I won't be trying one.
Perfect 😜✌️🍀🔥 I have the OK1 … it has an longer gripp
Crossing the boarder with Canada, the OK4 is about 20 CAD less expensive than the Condor or the Kansbol one. Hultafors, which is Swedish too, is about 25% less expensive here than Mora, for knifes. But there are less choise than for Mora too.
Nice. And a good bushcraft knife at a great price-point.
Glad I subscribed! You have some great videos!
Hultafors in the UK are 60% the price of Mora. OK4 is about $25 US but they make a cheaper one called the heavy duty which is less than $10. For the money it's insane value.
Have you seen the survive knife f1 folder looks sweet. Just ordered the 4.5
I know this is now an old video, but at the moment in europe in knivesandtools the hultafors is 22 euro and the condor is 47. The hultafors is slightly more expensive than a mora companion hd which you'd agree is insane price.
i love the hultafors they feel alot more sturdy then mora,but hultafors moves smaller volumes then mora so the prices are higher i usually find them att odd hardware stores in sweden,okc4 actually feels more sturdy in the construction then the 2449 wrecking knife despite it being thicker and longer i dont know why it might be the handle construction.
The handle of the OK4 looks much more comfortable.
here in uk cheapest OK4 is £16 maybe $20 to $22 but there is also OK 1 which has a thicker grip this is based on Hultafors heavy duty knife GK and here the GK cheapest price is £8 to £10 the GK is just as good as the OK models perhaps you need a good friend in UK who can ship some
Pricing is so different. Here in Sweden I dont think youd pay more than $20 for an OK4, but on the other hand, the Terrasaur knife is close to $50
Holy moly.. got the OK4 as a backup for 15 dollars 😨 someone needs to come up with a great trade deal between the US and the EU, winners both ways!
Can you do a review on the Benchmade 202 Leuku please
The Hultafors OK4 can be purchased online from Big Bear Tools in Canada for $25 USD.
May 2022, and the OK4 is now $29.99 on Amazon, for anyone looking to get one. It's rare to find ANYTHING cheaper in 2022 than it was in 2020.
Hultafors Craftmans Knife Heavy-Duty GK - HULGK can be picked up for £4.69 in the UK. A 90 degree spine for firesteels is easy created with a Helko Werk Axe file (£15). The GK - HULGK is basically the same blade without the black coating.
But with scandi grind, the GK has secondary edge.
And the GK grip is no the same on the OK4, thats the OK1.
@@umollerstrom I ended up ordering 2 Hultafors knives including Delivery for £16.
i) Craftmans Knife Stainless Steel RFR Enhanced Grip
ii) Craftmans Knife Heavy-duty GK
The OK4 is typically £15 -£18 in the UK. The stainless steel Enhanced grip will go into my Sea fishing tackle kit.
Got an ok1 a few years ago, the shop I was at had ok4s and ok1s for like $20, they only ever had the one shipment tho, love my ok1, didn't get an ok4 in time, not worth the price to import IMHO
I was a Mora fan, until I try my first Hultafors;)
The Hultafors OK was overpriced for a while, but now it runs under $30.
Should have compared it to the bushcraft black at that price point
When I founded the Bushcraft Associations I was looking for an instructors knife that you would also give to students to practice and not worry about it. That was my introduction to Hultafors and I became a dealer after testing. Sold a lot of the Hultafors GK and my own one is still in use since 2011.
The OK series seems like overpriced in the US. And I have a bucket full of Mora's but if I can take only one budget knife it's the Hultafors GK. OK 1 and 4 have that same SK5 steel and it's amazing. Good review.
Yes! The GK would be my go to for Hultafors.
We could all just buy one mora 511 and go on living our lives.
I bought mine for 20$ in Denmark, what i like is that you can just beat the shit out of it and it takes it.
I really like it :)
And yes in denmark the OK4 is about 20-30$ and the mora is about 25-35$.
Enig..
I wish Hultafors sold that elestic portion of the sheath as a standalone. I have a GK, great knife, tough as nails, super comfortable to use, but the clip on sheath leaves me wanting something else
Yup, bought the OK4 over the HK just for that reason. Sure could've fashioned something out myself but got lazy or maybe secretly wanted that dual texture handle.
How about a full Tang BPS knife?
While not a bushcrafter , the OK-4 worked very well for elk and moose hunts. The belt loop is a plus and the diameter was reduced with hand stitching . Thanks for your fair and balanced review .
i had some hultafors mand moras and hultafors is as great as mora. Hultafors knives are often cheaper then moras and are more pure work knives. Why do they cost 40 in the us. I can get one for 20 euros in germany.
I think it is worth mentioning that the knives are made in Taiwan, not Sweden.
It is in the description that pops up in the video
I noticed that when Sierra Trading Post was blowing them out a few months ago.
I confirmed with Hultafors, and it is manufactured in Taiwan to their specs.
Thanks for the video! That’s my thoughts as well on the ok4 to expensive for what u get and can get in same price point. That’s why I have been holding off until they lower it to their HK price would be nice.
U can baton with it - with a hammer - ask the hultafors company :-)
I thought it was the Bahco 2449 or 2448 wrecking knife that you could hammer on.
Imo the bushcraft black would be the better option for literally the same price
I like it, just another option for the public.
What was that black front/chest pack you were wearing?
The OK4 price in the USA just renders it uncompetitive with Moras as at the same price point. I would like to have one though.
The OK4 is about $14 where I am
Give me some infor on the Fox bushcraft Becut stainless fix blade
Fox knives.😔
I personaly like the carbon steel better on the hultifors it seams to hold the edge slightly better then the mora not that it matters much in this cheap worker knife genres
Hultifors knew people were using their green heavy duty knife for bushcrafting and decided to market it. Unfortunately they stopped shipping the heavy duty to the US and you can't find it anywhere.....They strapped a nylon belt loop and changed the grip and went from charging $15 to $40 four a slightly more bushcrafty design ....no thanks ????
Very VERY dissapointing . I used to buy their knives for modding but not anymore they lost my support I buy Mora's and Lauri Puukko blades.
@Ryan Boswood
I've spent so much money on budget blades , the market has bottomed out with bushcraft designs.
I'm burnt out on the scandi grind market esp the budget stuff... I do want to try out Joker Knives they have a couple really nice blades the Nordico, Ember and Granfather are on my list.
I recently bought a Benchmade Bushcrafter had to reprofile that hideous edge but now its awesome.
The TOPS Brakimo is also a beast , it's a scandi vex edge . It's probably the closest thing I've seen that's worthy to be called a "survival " bushcraft knife.
I also love the Becker BK18 Harpoon
Here is my review from my secondary channel. th-cam.com/video/ekpzQSpurmk/w-d-xo.html
It's an awesome blade ... I plan to share some knife builds I've done of the Brisa Skinner and some other blades I made from blanks.
Right now 21 Euros in Germany from Amazon (incl 19% VAT), thats 24 in US dollars. Thanks for the test!
Both knives are half that price here in Sweden.
And the winner is,
Terava Jakkaripuuko 110.
Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother 👍⚔️✝️🇺🇲
That knife kind of looks like what you were ended up with if you broke your K-Bar in half, then ground into a usable shape.
Fox Core fixed in Becut steel in comparison ?
Maybe it’s just the lighting, but looks like you got a recurve going on that Terrasaur. What’s up with that?
Ya it’s the camera shot. No recurve 👍
awesome video
Joe Flowers’ Condor looks like a way better deal, Never seen that blade until this vid. Might have to pick one up for the girlfriend for camping.
The price of the OK4 has come down. I just picked one up on Amazon for $22.
In Europe it costs €22 euro. Really cheap for an amazing knife. Beste starter knife in my opinion before you buy a more expensive knife. I own one and a Garberg and Esee PR4 but the OK4 is just fine.
People look to much at brands. Once they like and love Mora they tend to dislike other brands. I own Mora, Esee, Hultafor. I dont care i buy a knife because i think i would like it and then after a long term use when it sucks then i would give it a dislike not because of brand. I get it that people like Mora but keep you horizon open for other brands.
Mora is great not god.
By the way, the OK1 is also a great knife same knife slightly larger handle same sheath. For big hands.
Certainly in Europe is cheaper and I got one to compare it with my Morakniv collection. The handle is great because on the extremes is a hard polymer and the rest is rubberized and give a good grip and it is big enough for my middle size hands. The handle is very comfortable when compared with the full hard polymer of i.e. Morakniv Garberg. On the other hand the blade size is small if compared with the Morakniv models more oriented to bushcraft, to be honest I was disappointed with such small blade if compared with the proportion of the handle. The biggest negative point is that the blade was not sharp at all and I was not able to cut anything and I tried to sharp it for few minutes without success, I will have to expend more time. Other negative point is that you cannot buy it with stainless steel only carbon. The sheet has a good ramp to extract the knife but certainly is cheap solution, not better than morakniv. The measurement rule on the blade is totally useless as most likely will disappear with the use. Maybe this brand is good for working tools and utilitarian knifes but for buschcraft or outdoors forget about it, buy a Morakniv. I will use it for tasks where I won't mind to destroy the knife. Morakniv shall learn a bit with the handle, nothing else I could see that might be better not even the price, I will have a better sharp tool with an Opinel for less than the half price.
... i have the Hultafors OK 1 ..... the grip is bigger ..... 😜👍
My Hultafor ok4 cost $22 don’t see anything coming close
Oh wow 40$ USD !! I can get it in Germany from my favorite shop for 22€!
Hultafors would be a easy choice if they cost the same, but where I live it's more than double and it's definitely not worth twice as much.
It is 18 euro in Germany 🤔
This knife is......OK 😉🤣🤣🤣
4:32 WRONG, Mora Robust is zero scandi grinded and Hultafors has microbevel, which is huge difference in terms of using. I don't know how u missed it. I would say it's a win for a Mora...
I didn’t see much difference in performance, maybe they are bringing that micro bevel down some.
The hultafors craftsman is $5 and has no mocrobevel
The edge is just polished to remove the coating.
17 euro and practically indestructible. got one
if you get the mora for the same price, go with the hulta, it is Much much Much stronger.
The secret of a good knife is longevity..Mora knives are very sturdy even in difficult working conditions and last a long.Also the victorinox and martinnii knives .
Why is it snowing lol when did u film this?
Some shots are from December 2019
Currently $24 on Amazon. Cheapest it’s been in about two years.
Black out Tuesday
Seen these things absolutely tortured and they just don't break lol. And 22 euros 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The U.S. price for the OK4 fluctuates throughout the year. I've seen it as low as $26.00 in the U.S.
They look so ugly, but I’ve learned from my experience that the less bells and whistles any knife has the more it out performed my other high end knives. I find myself going for function over aesthetics.
I must’ve forgotten how much they cost... I couldn’t look away until I heard “$40” 😂. Great little knife though, but for $40 I’ll just take your word for it haha
Who tryed to squish that ant ??
Compare it to that Gerber... 😄
Good review, even though I still think these designs still look very ugly😂
That blade coating looks like paint and cheap looking.
33can$ for it here :P
$28 here in toronto
