Just bought my first Hultafors knife. I didn't really need one, but I've been eyeing them up for a while.
I've used Frosts/Mora knives in the past, and first impressions are that Hultafors are just as good if not better, and cost less.

"The Dromia Rule"
Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.
If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

Re: Hultafors
They're excellent knives. I've got 2 of the orange handled carbon steel ones and they sharpen up nicely on an oilstone.

Re: Hultafors
Just ordered two.
I'm a fan of mora knives but they've started getting expensive.
I lose a lot of stuff so I like cheap but good knives

Re: Hultafors
Superb little knives. I have one with a rubberised handle. I spent a while putting an edge on it and tidying up the spine, drilled the handle and added a lanyard and it was good to go. Mine was a freebie from a local shop because I am a regular customer and has been in near constant use ever since. Downside is it marks and/or rusts incredibly easily so keep well oiled. If like me you use it for breasting or gutting give it a wipe over with a vegetable oil or similar, I use walnut oil because I use it in the workshop so it is always to hand.
Re: Hultafors
I was at a shop that sold them, and they only had the standard craftsman with the orange handle.
I've got big hands, so needed the Heavy Duty version that's a little bit bigger.
The chisel I bought, I like, I did take it into the field with me last year, however there were no chiselling opportunities so it remained unused.
I think I might need to keep that with my tools and I can use it for getting through the bark strips on firewood.
