STANLEY 0-10-231 All-purpose Knife for Home & Professional Use Ideal for Cutting Into Multiple Surfaces, RED & BLACK

I just want to shake hands with the guy or team that designed the handle. Because it is the most comfortable tool handle ever! The fully rubber covered grip and the contour design with the very special knurling (with diamonds that have holes in them!) makes all the difference. Just love it! You just want to hold on to it all day long because it gives you an ethereal sense of comfort. And the thick blade and robust construction just makes it a very fun knife to use. Lanyard holes on both the sheath and handle make me feel like a king served with all the conveniences. All of this at this price point just make me feel like the luckiest man in the world.

It is razor sharp. Though it is not full tang it can take lot of beatings with a baton to cut down bamboo. The edges are slightly chiped but it is ok. The smudges after using it makes it a bit ugly and it is hard to remove.

A copy of the famous Swedish Morakniv design. However, they differ in both finish and materials used. The Mora uses better Swedish steels and a nice finish overall, but it costs quite a bit more and no one seems to be selling them in India - so harder to replace if lost/ damaged. This one is made in China, like most Stanley tools. The steel used is 2419 tool steel, which is a decent carbon steel. Keep in mind while purchasing, the steel used is a carbon steel and not stainless. So, it requires you to take better care of it to prevent rust/ corrosion. After use, wash and lightly oil the blade. They came sharp from the factory but not sharp enough for my taste. But just a few strokes on a honing stone and leather strop got them shaving sharp in minutes. The lanyard hole in the handle is a nice & useful design detail as is the drain hole at the bottom of the sheath (latter is a straight lift from the Mora sheath design). Overall a good all round utility knife that delivers well beyond its price point (bought for 560 on sale). I would buy again at this price point.

This is overall a good knife. However, it does require periodic sharpening. It is a reasonably sturdy tool for minor bushcraft activities. It may withstand some amount of batoning. As it is made of carbon steel, do expect the blade to darken.

Both knives are excellent. See the pictures for size comparison. The Mora is more expensive though. I have and use both knives, but appreciate the price point of the Stanley more than the Mora. Both come razor sharp from the factory. The Stanley Fatmax is worth the price, material, quality, craftsman in every way. Mora is the same but casts about 4 to 6 times than this Stanley Fatmax knife. I use both these on hikes and treks for cutting wood for fire, making a peg for the tent, cutting rope and paracord, chopping vegetables and fruits. Don't use it like an axe or a chopper and it will last a long time.

Amazing… like it a lot

This knife has rusting issue. Even with minimum moisture, it will start to rust.

A good replacement for the Mora 511. Carbon steel with a ground spine for scraping ferro rod. Razor sharp edge with a Mora style sheath. Sheath retention is strong and has the same slot as the Mora on the belt clip. Mora is so expensive here, I'd rather buy 5 of these at the same price.

Not the best Thing to buy

Ya tengo el modelo en inox, así que la opinión es prácticamente la misma. Pros: Viene muy bien afilado. La hoja en la parte superior se presenta bien perfilada con corte a 90º, es un punto positivo para usar pedernal. El mango es robusto con superficie de goma antideslizante. Sin guantes ya tiene una muy buena adherencia, pero con guantes mejora bastante. La funda coge bien el cuchillo y no se sale, trae agujero de drenaje. Contras: La guarda inferior es buena, pero creo que es un punto a mejorar ya que puede escaparse el dedo. La guarda superior es prácticamente inexistente. Observaciones: El vaciado es tipo Scandi sin micro bisel. El tipo de espiga de la hoja es de espiga completa, que llega prácticamente al final del mango. El agujero en su parte trasera, es correcto para un cordón fiador de 5mm. Nota: Los cuchillos con hoja al carbono, hay que limpiarlos y limpiarlos secarlos después de utilizarse si se quiere que duren y la hoja se mantenga en buen estado, pero siempre perderán brillo con el uso, algo normal en este material. Hay que mantenerlos lejos de la humedad, o hacerle un mantenimiento habitual si se quiere mantener la hoja en un estado optimo estéticamente hablando.

Rien n'a redire sur ce couteau : que du bon ! Il est parfait pour bon nombre d'utilisations différentes (pêche dans mon cas mais apte au bricolage, ça se voit au 1er coup d'oeil). Très bonne lame en acier au carbone, épaisse (2mm) et (très...) tranchante. Manche caoutchouc très agréable et ergonomique. Tient parfaitement en main. Beau couteau, ce qui ne gâche rien, pour un prix dérisoire. Port gratuit et réception en à peine 24h !!! Ne vous privez pas...

De blauwe variant is wel van RVS dus ga opzoek naar de blauwe. Deze is na 4 weken al verroest.

Handvat mocht iets dikker zijn om lekker beet te kunnen pakken. Maar verder een goed mes.
