I agree with all your talking points and also agree that the F1 meets all criteria. Get a zytel sheath and now you also don't have to worry about the sheath getting dirty. If I want to do a lot of wood whittling all day long I bring a knife with a more rounded and thicker handle but the F1 is my 'just in case knife'. If you want to keep a scandi to zero bevel it's actually a lot of work, you need some serious tools, you will have to remove some serious material and that's time consuming also. If I'm gonna use a knife that's scandi to zero I put a secondary convex bevel on it before even taking it out in the bush.

As I added to my knife collection, I learned about the Swedish military choosing the FALLKNIVEN F1 as their pilot’s survival knife, so naturally I just had to have one and did buy one. There’s a degree of confidence that goes with carrying a knife that a country chose for their military pilots.

I still to this day believe the Fallkniven F1 is the finest production belt knife currently on the market. If it was the only knife made in the world I dont think we would miss out on much.

@@eagleridge1972 I am jealous of your ATS-34 German made F1. That is the only iteration of the knife I have not been able to own. Currently my only one is one of the full tang blanks with micarta scales on it that was a gift from my wife. This video has made me think I need to order a standard F1 in Lam COS.

I’m on my second F1 as well, about eight years ago, learnt my first one to my brother when where in Killarney of course he in lost it . But he was good enough to replace it with another one

Great video, thank you and greetings from a fellow Celt in Cornwall.

Thanks for watching!

I have a substantial knife collection. But i always come backbto my fallkniven F1. Small, lighy, easy to carry and oh so capable. I made myself a kydex sheath to wear it slightly higher on my belt. Witch is nice if i dont use a backpack.

first time viewer I really enjoyed this video and I have a couple of Folks that I love.

Awesome! Thank you!

I've just received the elmax version, it'll be interesting to see how well it does. Some good safety tips that are often forgotten. Thanks.

i enjoyed this video so much can i ask you your opinion on karasuandokniven i have their small axe and the light fixed blade knife i find the little hatchet as its called very versatile its a knife on a stick

Excellent video! Just curious if you are going to do a follow-up video on the Gossman Polaris knife you have. That grind is completely different than either of the grinds you covered in this video.
