Getting to know the product
Fiskars K40 is a universal utility and general purpose field knife. According to the owners, the blade is very convenient and easy to operate. It can be used as a relatively inexpensive and reliable tool. Fiskars K40 is available for sale, because, according to experts, it does not belong to the category of knives. There is a corresponding conclusion on this score. Judging by the reviews, this is an inexpensive knife. You can buy it for only 900 rubles. This knife, experts are convinced, is not new, since attempts to combine the blade with another tool are made by different manufacturers.
Quite good multifunctional knives are produced by the Swedish company Mora of Sweden. Today, this manufacturer has a large line of various cutting products, repeatedly tested in the field. These knives skillfully combine traditional design and relatively inexpensive materials.
A similar principle is observed in Fiskars knives. The difference between the models is only that the Swedish blades are more expensive. Based on this, the owners were pleasantly surprised to see that Finnish knives are in no way inferior to Mora and are cheaper at the same time. Read more about Fiskars blades below.
About the blade
For the manufacture of the blade stainless steel is used, which brand is not known. The knife has a straight and very high quality blade. Its length is 100 mm and, according to experts, is considered optimal for domestic tasks. If we compare the Finnish Fiskars K40 with the Swiss Victorinox, whose blade length does not exceed 70 mm, then the last to cut bread is much more inconvenient. Judging by the numerous reviews, Fiskars successfully copes with both kitchen and various field tasks. For example, with a straight and long blade it is convenient to cut and harvest wood for a fire.
About the handle
For the manufacture of this element use black textured plastic. The handle inside is hollow and very light. In order to protect the fingers during operation with a knife, it was equipped with a small stopper.
Judging by the reviews, the cutting product with smooth corners and in the palm of your hand is very comfortable and reliable. Due to the use of special plastic, the blade will not slip out of the hands, even if moisture gets on it. With this knife it is equally convenient to work with both dry and wet hands. The end of the handle was equipped with an orange plug.
If necessary, it will not be difficult to pick it up and remove it. Thus, the handle acts as a pencil case. According to the owners, such a constructive solution is very successful and especially appreciated by tourists and fishermen: it is convenient to hold threads, needles, an emergency set for a campfire and various small fishing accessories inside the knife. Due to the fact that the knife has a hollow handle, and its shank is fused into the handle by only one third, in case of falling into the water it will not sink, but will gain a vertical position like a float. In this regard, this model is often called that. Since the top of the knife is represented by a catchy orange cap, it is almost impossible to lose it in the field conditions.
About the sheath
Like Mora knives, Fiskars are equipped with covers, for the manufacture of which, in order to reduce the cost of the production process, black textured plastic is used. Despite the use of cheap material, the functionality of the sheath is not reduced. Judging by the reviews of the owners, the blade in the case sits securely.
The lower part is equipped with a special drainage hole through which water that has got inside flows out. So that the blade could be attached to the trouser belt, the scabbard was equipped with a plastic loop.

Due to the fact that this cutting product does not sink, according to fishermen, it can be used as a float. The knife is completed with a convenient cover.
About weaknesses
Despite the undeniable advantages, this cutting product is not without some drawbacks. For example, a case causes a lot of complaints, namely, when a blade is worn on a belt in a sheath, the clip often breaks. This is the weakest point in the knife. Therefore, it is important to ensure that it does not cling to any objects. The second minus is that on the handle over time branded inscription is erased. Of course, these shortcomings do not affect the functionality of the knife, but nevertheless it looks already less attractive. Some owners are not satisfied with the quality of the loop, as it is intended only for narrow belts and is not compatible with Pals equipment. It happens that the loop breaks. Therefore, the owners recommend not to rely too much on her and carry a knife just in the case behind the trouser belt.
