Fallkniven f1 survival

[Ark79]

Anyone have one of these? Any thoughts?

I’ve watched a few vids on these knifes and the only downside I can find is..the handle is a little small . I was thinking on getting a smaller knife..( yes I do have a problem lol) Just thought a would ask yous guys

Or the s1 forest knife (This is what boredom dose lol)

The Fjellkniven F1 is the best knife I ever used.
(And I used really a lot of knives, I owned knives of most Scandinavian brands and workt in scout camps with a lot of others too.)

I had the version with leather sheath.

It's a bit to thick to use it as a kitchen knife.
It works, but not perfectly.

This knife would be my first choice if I would go somewhere where I perhaps really would need it as survival knife.

I am 185cm tall and for me the handle isn't to small. I use glove size 10 or 11.

@Erbswurst

Thanks for the input mate

 

[Erbswurst]

With pleasure!

I read in reviews the knife would rattle a bit in the plastic sheath.
But I don't know if that's really disturbing.

I had one with leather sheath.

I have the A1 with the plastic sheath. It does rattle a little but it’s not a problem.. but I still prefer the after market sheath I got made for it. So I’m not to worried about what sheath I get if I buy the f1 as I will probably get one made for it

 

[Erbswurst]

If you prefer leather, buy the good original leather sheath!

It's a robust but material saving lightweight construction, that fits very well to the relatively light F1.

I do prefer leather mate I know a man who makes great sheaths @1 shot willie . Hopefully when I save the money up and decide on what knife am wanting. He will make one for me

 

[Erbswurst]

Ah, I understand!

Probably you should drive around in the country and look where a forge stands next to a pub.

Perhaps you can become friends with a smith too....
