Fixed Blades under 50 Swedish Krona

Right now I'm conducting an quite interesting test; I'm doing a knife review on 11 different fixed blade knives with a price tag under 50 SEK (5 Euro). The work is planned to boil down into an article inside an upcoming issue of the Swedish magazine Vapentidningen. With this test I want to explore examples of what the first hand market here in Sweden have to offer me in the scenario of buying a fixed blade knife on a really tight budget.

The knife models included in this review are:

Lindbloms Knives 5101, Hard Head 122005 (9,90 SEK)
Lindbloms Knives, Hard Head 2633 (19,90 SEK)
Cocraft, Clas Ohlson 41-1074 (19,90 SEK)
Lindbloms Knives, Biltema 19-761 (34,90 SEK)
Lindbloms Knives 5000, ÖoB (36,90 SEK)
Morakniv Basic 511, Jula 121528 (39,90 SEK)
Fladen Outdoor Fishing Knife 17-13, ÖoB 1001130 (49 SEK)
Stark 651 (49 SEK)
Cocraft, Clas Ohlson 41-1081 (49,90 SEK)
Morakniv Basic 546, Jula 121529 (49,90 SEK)
Hultafors HVK, Bolist 700110618 (49,90 SEK)


There are of-course more low priced knife models out there than these 11 I've chosen to look closer at. And of-course you can make very nice finds on the second hand market. These 11 knife models are easy asses-sable and offered widely at big chains like; Biltema, Jula, Clas Ohlson and ÖoB here in Sweden.

I test these knives in the roll of a Bushcrafter; camp building, sloyding, hunting and fishing.

Please revisit this post soon to see the progress. And please contact me if you have any special experiences of these 11 knife models mentioned above.
See you soon again.

Hultafors Hultån Hatchet

The so popular little hatchet called Hultån is one of the models included in the Hultafors Premium Axes series. This is a nice little friend to bring when "the big axe" feels overkill or to heavy and bulky. The Hultån is also actually a pretty nice little carving axe.

Hultafors Qvarfot Felling Axe

The Qvarfot Felling Axe is one out of eight models in the new Hultafors Premium Axe series.
The Premium line will replace the Classic line. The hand forged Qvarfot consist of a Swedish made slim 26" axe handle from American hickory and a 0,85 kg heavy axe head made of Swedish steel. This full size axe is one of my favorites when it comes to robust tasks around the camp. The axe is slim yet heavy duty.

Stay tuned for more info about the Qvarfot Felling Axe on this page.

Hultafors Outdoor Knife OK1

When it comes to heavy duty tasks I often turn to the Hultafors OK1. This is a robust yet discreet rough neck well suited for tough bushcrafting and survival training. The black 93 mm long Japanese carbon steel blade has a Scandi grind and the low hanging sheath comes prepared to hold a ferro rod.

The OK1 is also Jonas Vildmark's official training knife, lent to our class participants.
You get a lot of bang for the buck when choosing the OK1 and well maintained it'll last for a very long time.

Please come back to this post again soon to see more info and our thoughts about the knife.
