Outdoor knife sharpener stick recommended FALLKNIVEN diamond sharpener FALLKNIVEN D12 camping

★FALLKNIVEN Falkniven★

FALLKNIVEN is a Swedish knife manufacturer. It became famous when its "F1" series was adopted as a survival knife for pilots of the Swedish Air Force. The blade has a laminated structure that sandwiches two different types of steel, making the most of the strengths of each steel while compensating for their weaknesses, resulting in a well-balanced knife. These excellent laminated blades are made in Japan by Hattori Hamono in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture.

★The story of Peter Fällkniven's founder★

What makes the "F1" so special is that it is a completely new design concept. The survival knives of 1978 were very similar to the double-edged combat knives used in World War II. The "F1" knife is small, but it has been the main equipment of the Swedish Air Force's Saab 39 Gripen fighter for 30 years. Recently (as of September 2014), the Swedish government decided to purchase 60 more aircraft.

In 1995, folding knives were incredibly popular, and several American and European knife manufacturers were making folding knives, but no sheath knives were being produced. This prompted us to venture into a new field, and we have been the number one manufacturer of sheath knives in the world ever since. The F1 knife is based on the design philosophy of a hunting knife. It is safe, non-slip even when wet, comfortable to hold, and fits most palms. The laminated stainless steel is very strong, and the blade steel is VG10, so the blade is less likely to chip and stays sharp for a long time.

For the "F1" we offer two types of sheaths, leather and plastic, but we usually recommend the plastic sheath because it is safer, neater, stronger, more hygienic and cheaper. What makes the F1 knife special (and all our sheath knives) is that it is hand sharpened. Only skilled craftsmen are allowed to sharpen the convex grind (clam blade). The convex grind edge is strong, sharp and durable, ideal for survival. Some of our military knives are listed in the NATO catalog, and since 2000, the F1 and S1 knives have been officially adopted by the US Navy and US Marine Corps pilots.

We understand that words of appreciation from all over the world mean our knives are used by elite soldiers. Our "standard" FI, laminated with VG10 steel (with 420J2 steel sandwiched on the outside), has been our best seller, with over 100,000 sold to date (compared to 400,000 Ontario M9 bayonets issued to every soldier in the U.S. military since 1984).

If I remember correctly, our knives have been officially adopted in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Holland, Poland, Russia, and the United States, and other countries are planning to adopt them. I can't remember exactly, but these are the countries that spring to mind. The tang (the part that connects the knife and handle) is hidden inside the handle, but it is a very strong tang that is close to a full tang, and the distance from the grip surface to the tang is less than 3 mm, and it protrudes from the grip end.

If the tang were to protrude beyond the surface of the handle, the knife would become unusable, but since the guarantee rate is less than 1 in 10,000, there is no need to worry too much about this.
