The **Fällkniven F1 F1nz Pilot Survival Knife** is a top-quality survival knife, specifically designed for pilots from the Swedish air force. It took 8 years to develop this model. The result of many tests and changing the design is an advanced, well thought-out and safe knife which combines strength with a modern design. The Fällkniven F1 is versatile and can be used while hunting, camping or during trekking or survival adventures.

## Fällkniven F1nz blade

The blade is made from, the in 2022 introduced, VGWolf steel. An upgraded version of the previous VG10W steel. VGWolf has a high concentration of tungsten (1.25%) The result is a better sharpness retention and the steel is a little tougher. The steel is laminated in between two layers of softer steel. As such, the F1 retains its sharpness well, while at the same time it is a lot tougher than with a mono-steel construction.

The edge of the Fällkniven F1 is enhanced with a convex grind. This means that the blade is curved towards the edge. The result is an incredibly strong and sharp edge. To maintain this edge we recommend stropping it in time.

## Fällkniven F1nz handle

The handle is made from Thermorun. This is a rubber-like plastic that offers you enough grip. The fact that Fällkniven took the arctic climate of Sweden into account is clear when you look at the construction of the handle. The tang of the blade, the steel part that is located in the handle, is wrapped in Thermorun. As a result your hands won't freeze to the knife in very low temperatures. Even in the heat this works well because your hands won't burn if the knife was left in the sun for a while. So very well-thought-out.

This version of the F1 comes with a nice Zytel sheath. The two-stage locking mechanism is a new feature. There's no strap around the handle like with previous A1 sheaths. The Zytel sheath has a sleek look with an opening at the bottom for drainage.

The best knife I have ever owned. Quality steel that does not dull easily. Tho its big its a great multi purpose knife. Cant recommend it enough!

Bellissimo e affillatissimo, comodo e leggero, il coltello ideale per fare un po di tutto

The knife that launched a thousand purchases, to paraphrase Homer (the Greek, not the Simpson). This is such a ridiculously good deal, there is no excuse for not owning one.

Widely recognized as one of the finest bushcraft / survival knives in the world (and used as such by Swedish air force pilots and special forces).

I had long resisted the purchase, since I prefer natural handle materials, but once I got one (and got used to the convex grind), I was hooked. In no time at all, Fällkniven went to the top of my list next to LionSteel. 

F1 is enough, easily. But there is the F1 Pro, too … and the F1x … and the Idun (F1 with a leather handle and sheath) … and the Embla (F1 Pro with a desert ironwood handle and leather sheath) … 

Let’s hope I win the lottery.

Sehr gutes Messer, kommt Rasiermesserscharf an. Nach dem ersten Gebrauch (schnitzen, batonen) rasiert es zwar nicht mehr, hat aber trotzdem eine sehr gute Gebrauchsschärfe.
Die neue kydexscheide von Fällkniven ist mir gröstenteils positiv aufgefallen. Das Messer klappert jetzt nicht mehr wie es vorher der Fall war da durch den Verriegelungsmechanismus das Messer fest in der Scheide sitzt. Bis jetzt bin ich mir noch nicht sicher aber ich habe das Gefühl das durch die Verriegelung etwas vom Griff abreibt. Das wird die Zeit zeigen. Ansonsten liegt das Messer sehr gut in der Hand und schafft alle Aufgaben vom feinen schnitzen bis zum brachialen Holzspalten. Lediglich die Spitze ist empfindlich wenn man mit dem Messer hebelt. Setzt man das Messer jedoch mit Verstand ein besteht auch da keine Gefahr.
Alles in allem eine tolles Messer für einen sehr guten Preis.

This in an overall great knife, the handle fits my hand perfectly and feels comfotrable and solid. My brother helped me pick it because he knows a lot about knives, and i definetly made the right chioce. It may be a little bit on the expensive side, but as far as fixed knives in this price range go, it’s one of, if not the best. :)
