I take a miniature hand plane with me to shave off thin kindling to get fires good and started in wet weather without whittling and dulling my regular knife. Combined with a rock it looks like this could do the same thing hammering and be faster. Otherwise I'd be interested in what the hell it's for.Originally Posted by LittleLebowski
There goes another $9.53 I didn’t need anywayWe will know more Thursday.
I'm interested in what you think of it when it arrives. I'd be more likely to buy this: https://www.amazon.com/WORKPRO-Chise...s%2C118&sr=1-7There goes another $9.53 I didn’t need anyway
I have an old 3/4" or 1" wood chisel that I've used setting hinges, door locks, and various other things.

The Hultafors are good basic knives, like Mora.
I can see it making sense for certain uses, like electricians work, but it's a little lightweight as a pry bar/knife combo, if that's what you are thinking.

I keep a Morakniv Craftline chisel knife in my portable toolbox because it is useful as a both chisel and a scraper, and fills in for the single-edge razor blade that somehow always disappears when I most need it. Great for controlled "plunge" cuts and also works fine as a regular knife as long as you don't need an edge with a "belly." The black and yellow handle makes it look vaguely "DeWalt-ish."
The knife seems to be an object of fascination to many people, and I often get "Hey! Let me see that!" when I use it.

Very old Scandahovian company. Surveyors liked their folding wood level rods because they were light and compact. That stopped making those in the last century and we couldn't source them any longer. A real work of art they were. I think I have one in the basement somewhere.
In the P-F basket of deplorables.
If you like the knife and want an upgrade, try Graham Knives - the Razel line specifically (combination Razor and Chisel). I have a Ringed Tanto with Linen Micarta Scales - one of my favorite EDC.
What you bring up is important. I always use a Mora because I want a true chisel grind which allows me to get that blade practically flat to the surface I am scraping. Aside from the basic Mora chisel grind, I have never had two Mora chisel knives that were exactly alike, and they apparently change details with regularity. I don't go through them like popcorn, but they are working knives and s**t happens. The newest one in my take-along toolbox right now is shown below. It is actually a NOS one that has a stainless blade and rubberized handle; I think plain carbon steel blades and a harder polymer handle may be used in current production.
This video does a good job of showing the basic blade differences:
