The 2-in-1 hunting knife from Zetterrank impresses as soon as it is unpacked with its well thought-out packaging, which is optimised for the size of the product. The packaging is beautifully designed and is therefore also suitable as a gift.
The product protection is very good, the knife arrives at the consumer without scratches or soiling. The inside of the packaging is fully and efficiently structured to organise the individual components clearly and protect them during transport. The product is basically self-explanatory and information on storing and caring for the knives is included.
One small point of criticism remains the use of plastic film around the packaging – this is not necessary and could be replaced by a more environmentally friendly solution.

The 2-1 hunting knife from Zetterrank impresses at first glance with its solid workmanship. The test showed that there are no visual flaws – the design looks modern and appealing. The look of the blades and the stylish sandalwood handles give the knives an elegant yet traditional appearance. The first positive impression is confirmed by the high stability of the knives. They are pleasantly heavy in the hand, which ensures good balance and a secure grip . Even with moderate pressure, the blades remained dimensionally stable and showed no deformation. The use of high-quality materials indicates a durable and environmentally friendly solution, even if Zetterrank does not provide any specific information on sustainability.

The Zetterrank 2-in-1 hunting knife impressed in the practical test. The sharpening test showed impressive results: Paper could be cut effortlessly and smoothly, without fringes or unevenness. The grip comfort was predominantly very good in the male testers’ hands, while the women’s hands showed a slightly angular mould after prolonged use. Overall, comfort remains at a high level, as only minimal pressure marks occur.
In the stress test , the blade retained its shape even under heavy pressure and returned completely to its original state after being released – a clear indication of the high material quality. Unfortunately, the blades were not fitted neatly into the handles, but this does not detract from the knife’s usability.
Cleaning was easy: neither the blade nor the handle showed any residue, but the knife should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. In the safety test , handling was rated as very good . However, care should be taken when inserting the two blades into the sheath.
The Zetterrank 2-in-1 hunting knife combines innovation and quality with few limitations in handling. It is a good choice for men who are looking for a high-quality and durable tool.
