This is the very first Fällkniven blade that I customized. A guy ordered an H1 and this F1 as a set in the same stabilised wood, and wanted me to etch my name / logo on the opposite side to the Fällkniven logo (something that I not usually do if I haven’t made the blade myself). When the knives were finished, but before the sheaths were made the customer dropped the order, which left me with two knives. The H1 was sold earlier this year to a friend of mine, and this is the F1.
Handle scales is made of stabilised ash burl dyed “greyish purple” (at least that was what the label said), you judge the colour yourself. Brass Corby rivets and brass thong tube, thin reddish brown Vulcan fibre spacer between steel and wood). Leather thong with reindeer antler “pearl”.
Size should be well known to anybody who have handled Fällkniven F1’s before, but for those who has not the measurements are: blade length – 9,9 cm, handle length – 11,3 cm.
Blade blank is slightly modified (fingerguard area + bottom of handle).
Black leather sheath.

That is a beautiful piece of work. I get the urge to reach for my credit card every time I see those pictures. I have no need for another knife but am still sorely tempted. I am just hoping if I can resist long enough so someone will step in before me.


Out of interest what grind is the blade. It does not look like a normal secondary edge more convex but seems to only go convex very near the edge. I guess this would make it pretty robust but not laser sharp.

Thats a great price, I bought one with the green Micarta handle a while back and it cost me more, and is nowhere near as nice.......

Beautiful handle material..... Hmmmmm where did i put that credit card... No No Resist.....

The grind is the same convex grind as on the ordinary and well known Fällkniven F1 - starting at the spine and then going convex all the way to the edge. The line close to the edge (about 6 mm) is from the lamination (blade is laminated VG10 steel)
