The HuntEx2026 Forged Small Utility

This HuntEx Collaboration Utility Knife is a clean, practical working blade made through a collaboration between Hylton Rutherford and Reinhardt Swart of SHARPTHINGS. It is built for everyday cutting tasks, camp use, and general utility work where a dependable handmade knife matters.

The blade is forged from 4mm 5160 carbon steel, a tough spring steel known for durability and a strong working edge. The finish carries honest forged character, giving the knife a handmade look while keeping the cutting area clean and functional.

At 200mm overall length with a 95mm blade, it has a compact, capable footprint. It sits in the sweet spot between a small carry knife and a larger field blade, giving you control for detail cuts while still feeling substantial in hand.

It also makes an excellent outdoor camping and braai steak knife option. This size and blade shape work well for food prep at camp, slicing meat cleanly, and building a matching set for weekends away, hunting camp, or the firepit.

This is a straightforward, purpose-built knife with a clear identity: strong steel, practical geometry, and a collaboration story tied to Huntex.
