Fallkniven S1 Knife Review. Beating on the Classic Outdoor Survival Knife.

The Fallkniven S1 may be the ultimate survival knife if maybe it was the knife you had on you while you needed to survive in the bush or forest. This series of knives has been designed in Sweden and made in Japan for abuse, hard use, field tests, cleaning game, batoning, tactical purposes, and other words that help my SEO. Also in this series are the A1, and the F1- but I can't afford all three. Maybe one day if I get as popular as Nutnfancy. Buy from the links below to support the channel.

I think you are my new favorite knife reviewer. I cant even deal with these super serious backyard reviews anymore. You ruined it for me, but thats a good thing 😂

[@myklegaynor9211]

Watching the cardboard baton at 4:44 was like watching a Renaissance master completing a classical work.

[@FerociousSniper]

I just grabbed one of these. Not even sure I want it, but when I found out that they switched from VG10 to VG7, I decided to snag one up. People tend to covet things that are no longer available. Like the older SRKs made of carbon v.

[@CCR1062]

I'm really enjoying your videos and reviews. You have invigorated my addiction to fixed blades. Having grown up in southern MO, I actually like you more knowing you grew up in my favorite place to camp, hike, and ride motorcycles.

[@seanb6986]

Finally, you didn’t “abuse” the knife you were reviewing. Folding knives were invented when some idiotic person broke his fixed blade in half and crudely repaired it with some screws. Then he realized he had ADHD and needed something to fidget with. So he loosened the pivot screw. And played with it. He loved it so much that he married it. And had kids with it. Thus, folding knives came into existence.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

You won’t find any knife abuse on this channel!

Something about this knife has always screamed "the most generic looking knife ever" to me. LIke if you were asked to just draw a knife, it'd be this. Also jealous, I want bamboo in my backyard that I can cut with impunity and fashion stuff out of.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I have so much to cut!

[@garethbaus5471]

@@AdvancedKnifeBro that is my dream.

[@Xyrium]

More awesome and witty stuff, love it. I bought the S1 Pro on a whim, thinking I needed to supplement my classic A1. The handle on the S1 is embarrassingly small. Almost dangerous, and throws off the balance of the knife. I have a feeling you're be moving on to an A1 or down to an F1 because of the oddball balance of the S line.

[@thebusinessend1]

i had the f1 and ended up carrying it IWB. That zytel sheath you can throw the snap around a belt loop and it stays in place pretty good. Ideal for having a carry fix blade if you really need a midsized fixed blade. Also its ideal if you operate, are a pilot who intends to crash in a jungle or humid environment or run shit at the knife shop at the mall and want a super userful fixed blade to accompany your replica highlander sword. For camping (I rather have a cheap mora lighter and cheaper) but its pretty decent overall and good with fire steel. That said I almost never use a firesteel cause my bic lighter works great but I do love the convex grind cause it is ideal for stropping. Slicing sucks with the thick blade stock but its fun to play with. I got ride of the knife cause ise I dont camp much and dont need to carry a fixed blade bigger than an izula. Just my personal experience that said. Excellent knives if you get them for a good price.

[@LCO213]

I bought one of these 10 years ago...its the knife responsible for my knife addiction.

[@farakhmasood5011]

Excellent review. Advanced Knife Bro at his best. I love this knife but feel I have to save up for the more expensive one. Thanks, brother. Cheers! p.s. Just watched the sharpening link, it was really good. Thanks for that!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

My man!

[@caseysimpson1806]

My first outing with the S1 was a winter backpack deer hunt. Unfortunately, no deer. 4-5 inches of snow on the ground. The S1 was used for fire making, camp items, food prep, and some piece of mind if I became stranded. I liked the dangler sheath and it stayed on me-not stuffed in the pack. I added inner tube bands, paracord, and a pouch with fire steel/tinder to the sheath. It is in my winter outfit as I write this.

[@OliFPV]

Best Review of the S1 🤣🤣💚😘🍀 lg and ceya bruhhh 🤣✌️

[@charlescollier7217]

Okay, I'm convinced you sat down and studied how best to mispronounce Fallkniven (Felk-Neeven) so that it would sound like nails on chalkboard. Then said it fiddy-leven times. Well played, sir. Well played.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I’ll do you one better... I never watched another video about one before doing this video. My research is primarily text based. It briefly occurred to me to look it up- but since I never pronounce anything right- I skipped it. For a guy who spends so much time on KZbin making knife videos- I rarely watch knife videos- except for the guys I mention in these videos.

[@alittleolder]

Great video. And to get serious for once (and not this is not sarcastic): At the end when you cut down that large stump.. Looked like fun but made me sad that I'll never in my remaining years will be even remotely able to do something like that. On the other hand "Solo" was better than expected to not end on a down note.

[@mrc2205]

I love these knives, they do cost a lot, but they feel great and work great. And will last you unless you are abusing it, in a ridiculous way.

[@davidaxman]

Just by the looks of it, it seemed to split wood like crazy. Was it easier with the S1 than other comparable knives? Maybe some convex magic?

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

I traded into an NL4, which is this knife but with the stacked leather handle. It’s a gorgeous knife and I enjoy using it, but I tend to get more use from my old F1. I have an old A1 that I also traded into years ago. It’s one of the better “survival knives” that I own.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I seriously thought about the F1... but I know I rarely use my esee-3 so I went with this just for fun. Most of my real knife needs are handled by a folding knife. Their NL series are so nice looking. Wish I had the money for one.

[@MakinHicks]

Even after all of these years I can’t decide if this knife is sorta awesome or sorta a rip off. I do like these sorts of reviews AKB...

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I tend to like it. It feels nice in the hand. We’ll see how well I like it long term- but yeah, the design is very familiar.

[@bumstudios8817]

Awesome rip off

[@Drownedinblood]

I think you're just mostly paying for the steel. So how much does vg-10 go for?

[@LCO213]

The convex grind makes it cost more, because they have to hand ground. Other grinds can be done with a jig much faster and with less skill. Also the laminated steel increases the cost.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yeah that convex is pretty awesome, especially when seeing how perfect it is.

[@jtarkov3533]

I’m just waiting for you to get your hands on the Von Temspky Bowie? I would love to see your comparison between the ranger and the full size one. Can’t decide one which one I want to get

I like that type of knife. A bit like the cold steel srk it seems. Regards!.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Not really. This is a $120 knife with Zytel... and currently the only SRK available on Blade HQ comes in at $105. There's a $40 SRK, and then a 3V for $180ish... so the fact the S1 has a convex ground laminated steel, both things which add cost- it's really pretty in line with Cold Steels offering.

What is knife do?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It do, it do.

[@gillbates999]

OK, at 3:17 you say the convex is stronger because it has more steel behind the edge. Actually, the opposite is true - the convex has *less* steel behind the edge, given a roughly similar blade profile (we're not talking axe heads here, right?), which makes it such a great slicer. The "flat + V" grind is the stronger one. The "V" portion has the larger included angle near the edge. (Think about old-fashioned straight razors - no "V" grind there.)

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Look at page two of this thread. I’m not interested in arguing at length- like there. www.bladeforums.com/threads/what-are-the-advantages-of-a-convex-grind.1493764/page-2 The fact of the matter is... this isn’t a thin slicer like my Scandinavian grinds or my thin behind the edge spyderxo Caribbean. Like it was accurate when I said it’s sharp but doesn’t give paper thin slices. It splits. You dismiss an axe because it doesn’t fit your line of reasoning here, but include a straight razor because it works well in this example. Those are both extreme examples of a convex edge though.

[@LCO213]

Convex, yes think axe head. Straight razors are concave hollow ground with a zero edge...The exact opposite of convex shape. It sounds like you might be confusing convex grind with a zero edge. You can have a flat ground knife with a convex edge, or a convex ground knife with a V ground edge bevel...and you can put a zero edge on any blade grind. A zero grind is when the edge terminates with no bevel. People generally prefer flat ground knives for food prep, because a flat grind is the best slicing geometry. Which is why most kitchen knives are flat ground with a thin V edge.

[@gillbates999]

Yeah, my examples weren't particularly well-chosen. And slicing or not slicing wasn't the real topic either. I should've just said "all else being equal..." To stick with this Fällkniven knife, I've seen posts saying the edge chips easily...after putting a V grind on the blade, this stopped.

[@LCO213]

The problem with Fallkniven knives is they come incredibly sharp from the factory, and not always, but sometimes come with a very thin edge that can be chippy, but that’s not an inherent problem with convex knives. I convex the edge on all my knives. With the 5 Fallkniven knives I own this has happened twice. After using it, and sharpening away the factory edge the chippy problem stopped for me. Now all my Fallknivens are pretty tough...no issues whatsoever. I think these knives are worth the money. Putting a V edge on one of these knives should be a sin. 😀 Take care.
