Hultafors Craftsman's knife RFR GH I All-purpose knife with non-slip Santoprene® handle and German high-grade stainless steel blade I Including holster and holder for working trousers I 380260

For any woodworker, a good, sharp knife is as essential as a chisel. I’ve gone through countless marking and utility knives that either dull instantly on hardwoods, snap at the tip, or rust if you so much as look at them wrong. This Hultafors knife is in a different league entirely. It arrived shaving-sharp and has held that edge incredibly well. I've been using it for everything from scribing precise marking lines on oak to cleaning out the tight corners of mortises and chamfering edges. The blade is tough as nails – no chipping, and the tip has held up to tasks that have snapped lesser knives. But here’s the real kicker: I keep it in my cold, damp garage workshop. At some point, I was expecting to find a rusted mess. To my complete astonishment, the German stainless steel blade is still immaculate after 6 months. Not a single pit or spot of rust. I just wipe it clean and it is as good as new. The non-slip handle is superb, offering a secure grip even with dusty hands, and the included holster clips perfectly onto my apron or trousers. My Advice for Woodworkers: Don't hesitate to use this for fine marking lines. It's robust enough for general workshop abuse, but the blade is precise enough to replace a dedicated marking knife for many jobs. Because it's so rust-resistant, you don't have to baby it like a high-carbon steel blade. Bottom Line: This is a tough, incredibly sharp, and shockingly rust-resistant knife that has become an indispensable tool on my bench. For this price, the quality is unbeatable. Stop buying flimsy craft knives and get a proper woodworking blade that lasts. Highly recommended.

I have a couple of Morakniv companion in stainless snd carbon steel. I wanted a spare stainless but was struggling to find one at a price I liked. This was recommended instead and I am not disappointed at all. The blade is pretty sharp from the box and I just ran it over a whet stone to get it how I like and it has maintained the edge quite well. It is stainless so doesn’t hold an edge quite as well but it is easy to put back compared to carbon. The sheath is pretty sturdy and has a reassuring click as it locks onto the knife. There is belt loops etc. So keeping it close should be a cinch. The grip is nice and comfy although the rubber feels a little odd it is grippy snd I suspect with a wet hand it will grip just fine. For the price this is an excellent knife, to be honest at twice the price it would still be a pretty good deal. Overall I would recommend this even if you prefer Mora as this is an excellent knife and if you need a few for teaching or the like, I would say it is a good choice. I really would like to see some other colours though. Black and blue is neat but a few different colours so you can switch up would be a nice feature. Final word is you can’t go far wrong with this knife at such an attractive price.

I have been using this knife almost daily for a couple of years. It is a very good knife for the money, the edge stays sharp for a reasonable amount of time and sharpens easily. Nice and comfortable to hold, practical sheath that helps keep it clean (I leave it clean in my work bag so it can be used for things like cutting an orange at lunch as well as coming in handy for cutting rope ect). I have since purchased other knives of the same brand for more specific tasks, but this is still my go to all-rounder

This knife is a strong and less expensive competitor to the main Swedish brand out there, in every way but one. I was disappointed to find that the blade did not come fully sharpened, in fact it was most definitely quite blunt. The sheath is sturdy and holds the knife reassuringly well, whilst allowing easy removal when required. The grip is comfortable, equally sturdy and feels safe in use. I would consider buying this again if I knew I didn't have to work for a keen edge by sharpening it.

Super sharp, great quality. Easy to clean, fit into the sheath and looks great

I've been using this for whittling. Mostly shedding lot of the material, and shaping before getting to the finer detailing work. Weight and quality is not a problem, used it for 3 hrs straight, Doesn't feel too heavy and it kept it's sharpness. Pretty sharp straight out of the box, Haven't needed to sharpen it yet but I'm sure that will be a doddle. Sheath is really good, get a satisfying click with it's seated correctly. Will definitely be looking at other products from this brand.

Great knife at a great price. Very sharp out the box. The back of the blade is left rough with a 90 degree angle so should be able to use with a ferrosteel. Although stainless steel it is not highly polished and can tarnish quickly, but is also easily cleaned. Blade holds it's edge very well, I used this alongside the Mora 546, similar price, spec's etc. and I found this seemed to keep it's edge better, but both are easy to sharpen, and both would be recommended. Grip is err, grippy, and quite comfortable over long periods, has a good finger guard at the front, nice secure sheath with belt loop. At these sorts of prices why people buy expensive bushcraft knives is beyond me
