I've got the 'standard' F1 with a left handed zytel sheath. I really like the unobtrusive low profile sheath, means I can EDC the knife without getting too weird looks... and it's left handed too! Let's not talk about the price ...

[@d4mdcykey]

Agree with your points here; if money is no object, I'd have several of these knives, but it is, so I don't. I do know a couple people that swear by this company, however there is plenty of other knives out there that are just as good and without the issue of price and a weak warranty. Appreciate the review, Pete.

[@emmokaemingk9448]

Great, great vid. One remark: the NL series (Northern Light) have a stacked leather handle. I understood from the DBK boys that COS is much easier to sharpen than the VG10 and 3G.

[@thomaswolf6507]

I love my A1 over all my high-end knives. Just need a custom kydex sheath for it and you're set. Carry a smaller carbon knife or a ferro rod in combo, no need for a high carbon blade.

[@mforrest1508]

Couple things... I’ve used the warranty twice. It was incredible. Shipped me a new knife to the USA in 3 days! And paid for return postage. They will send clips and washers for folders free as well. I have fucked up the finger guard on an a1 standard. The pro is a welcome upgrade. Next cos is the shit! Awesome stainless steel. It’s expensive to make knives in Japan, but they have the BEST steels. Also the pro kit, as in the box sheath stone and knife is warranted for life. I guess only if you buy the set. With the waterproof box

[@billcarey9184]

I own a f1 pro and love it but I agree, They need to stand behind their product better with a lifetime warranty. For the amount of actual replacements they would do they would get many more purchases and multi knife owners

[@E.L.RipleyAtNostromo]

20 years ago I got the standard F1, and it came with a nice wraparound black leather sheath. Then I got the standard A1 that came with a leather drop sheath. I just recently picked up an S1 Pro, and ordered a leather drop sheath from Lamnia that dresses it up, and added a ranger band and firesteel to it. After I bought it I started thinking that since I have large hands that I should have bought the S1X instead, as I heard its handle is slightly longer. (?). Plus I could eventually add aftermarket scales to it, but agree with you that the Pro seems pretty nice, and I feel it’s strong enough for my use, although I can see why people would like the more balanced 50 gram plus weight of the X series. My sole objection is that with large hands that lanyard hole on the Pro is fairly useless, but that’s not a big thing. I like that I can hold it in cold temps comfortably. By the way, 20 years ago I was lucky enough to get in on a group buy on a knife site with a Fallkniven rep, and also got an NL5 and NL4, a Frei and an Idun. The 5” NL4 and S1 easily use the same leather drop sheath, although the NL knives both came with wraparound style leather sheaths. I think if I could only choose one Fallkniven it would be the NL4, although in practical applications you could do more hard use work with an A1. I appreciate your detailed (and very humorous intro!) comparison on the three standard lines, haven’t seen that anywhere else. 👍

[@mrc2205]

Hi. I have an F1 pro in the basic sheath, and a S1 in a leather sheath. I like both. No rattle in my F1 pro sheath. I love these knives.

[@askquestions5093]

2:03 I think the A1 standard is good value actually. I own it myself and it is one of the best ones I've ever had. Currently cost around EUR 210, AUD 345, USD 250. I own knives twice the price and are not better than this one. Not a tiny bit. The thickness is just perfect for it's lenght and is very well made. Anything else is just too overpriced and not even better. The pro series is too thick in my oppinion. They should have stayed with the same thickness but updated steel. A1 standard is CoS, 3G or CPM 3V, man, I would get it no matter the costs.

I agree with everything, especially the warranty which is the worst in the business. Now that they have the super rugged A1X I have finally come around to purchase one. I also purchased a Bark River that is 1/2 the size and is still more expensive but to me presents a better value.

[@daysofnoah1748]

I still think you get good value for your money with the original S1, and A1 knives. They can still be found new on the American market today for around $158, and $186 repectively. Most American knives out of plain old 1095 are running $120 or $130, so why not spend a little extra for the laminated stainless vg10, and the Fallkniven quality.

[@darichard11]

The closet one to being a “value” I have seen is the basic F1 with leather sheath for a bit over $100. In a bigger knife I would rather either carbon steel or maybe N690 or a well done D2 in a less expensive knife than the large Fallkniven’s.

[@WillEDC]

I’m curious what happens if the handle material is damaged, is it user replaceable ?

i indeed think the handles are too thin for large hands, aldo the knife goes so far in the sheath that i doubt you can get much thicker after market scales unless it goes coke bottle shape towards the end which is maybe a bit odd { aldo it works good on the bradford knives } ... will see, i use the f1x i like it. now compareing the a1x vs my TRC apocalypse i would say for sure the apocalypse is better in every single way for about the same price ( better fit and finish, much better rounding everywhere, superb micarta handles, and elmax instead of cos which is an upgrade for sure + a absolutely awesome kydex sheath that fits perfect, does zero blunting to the knife and pops out with a light finger pressure yet retains amazing! so i would for sure recommend the trc apocalypse above any fallkniven knife!

As far as steels are concerned, they are indeed not the same but both remain top of the range. And finally, all this is still to be highlighted through appropriate uses, without which interest?

[@dimi7055]

i know its enough to buy an other blade but if you ever have the possibility to hold a trc apocalypse instead of a a1x/a1pro or a trc K1/southpole instead of a f1 then you will fully understand what i mean ;] trc fit and finish is even way above bark river ( which i also have around 8 knives from ) and the sheath is as good as any custom sheath i have ( have around 4 sheaths from yellow hawk customs outdoors ) and these sheaths are just as good! so thats just awesome.

COS is the better option for Fallkniven, Elmax if you drop the knife, the tip will break easily.

Fore the price point of these knives I personally think they could manufacture them here in Sweden. We have a long tradition of making blades, originally swords and weapon manufacturing but also kitchen cutlery and scissors. Not much of it left but the knowledge is still there, and the steel production in Sweden is also a good one;-) But i also understand the fact that to make something exclusive you have to have a high price point.

[@muskett4108]

Al Mar and the old Blakjack were some of the first to start the trent of buying high end Japanese knives to their design and badging them. Fallkniven taken this to the next level. Warranty is typical European/Japanese type where its limited. In truth why should a company pay for people being complete thugs? The US warranty model has become very accommodating but that comes at a cost: either added to the price or taken out of the product. Warranties are a cost and not free, somehow the customer is paying for them. No doubt the Fallkniven knives are well made and of stout design. They are riding the wave of popularity for tough combat/survival/utility/bushcraft products. I have to say I'm a succour for combat/utility knives too. Here comes the "but". The Kar-Bar, SRK, combat/utility knife can be the least useful knife to own because as a jack of all trades they do most things poorly. Not big enough to chop, not keen enough to cut, and on the big side to do all those little tasks that a folder can do so much better. I think the "one tool option" thing is pants. However, "blokes" will always buy into them. Is thick stock blades really that clever? If the new steels are that much better why do the knives need to be so thick too?? It seems the Fallkniven are made with a good amount of luck built in so should last. They are thick enough. Enough to survive long enough to carry the history of anyone's adventures. Thats a big plus. I'm unsure how well they keep their looks, or if carry the patina from use well. Many modern knives get to look rough fairly fast and don't do the "veteran" look well. Fallkniven owners can chip in here. Some of my Japanese made quality knives have done well. Not everyone I've had had the luck. Improvements in steel should give even more confidence that the older stuff. Though I'm a Brit, I think some of the USA top end made knives might actually be better??? With so many manufacturers, and quality differences, then its not easy to say what is good, what has plenty of luck built in. Buying into the reputation is the best one can do and Fallkniven has a solid reputation. I'm not trying to have a go at Fallkniven. Its just I haven't found a reason to get one yet. In truth struggling with both design and cost when there is so much competition; plus I have good knives already.

[@DrHWO]

Survival knives, a very personal decision which will vary with age and experience. So, a self designed and self made knife guaranteed what I wanted. Trouble is, when it came time to use it in earnest, I couldn't bring myself to batter my baby. Enter the S1x which came closest to my design brief. No problems here with beating the crapola out of the CoS. Positive value is when the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, but because we all put a different value on the components of benefit and disadvantage, the equation will be different for each one of us. Or am I just blowing wind from the distal part of my alimentary canal?

[@MrBikboi]

Not a fan of the x series looks, you’re right in that I’m assuming they’re shooting for the Esee type of market. Never liked those knives and if you say that their cult following roasts you. Had a few and you’re paying a huge price for 1095 steel, I’d rather buy a bk2, Kabars 1095 crovan and heat treatment is superior and cheaper.

[@pubplays368]

“Superior and cheaper”. Cheaper yes, superior? No. Not even close. Beckers will snap on you all day. Esees will not. Cro van has the potential to be the better steel. But kabar has a lackluster heat treat. Thus rendering it useless. Esees have full tangs. Kabars have skeletonized tangs. Esee has the best warranty in the world. You’re lucky if kabar responds in 48 hours. I’ll stick with lt wright overall for my knives. Best designs and heat treat on the market. Or Carothers. He makes the best 3v knives.

[@JBMuffinman187]

I just can't get past the price here in the US. When a NL3 is $400 right now and I just picked up a Bark River Bravo II in 3V for $280, it's hard not to wonder. Both are great convex grinds from companies that build top tier survival knives, one just costs a third less with premium steel.

[@jmora1914]

I know that these are popular survival knives. But the s1 Falkniven and the a1 pro have failed in tests I've seen. The hilt came loose on the A1 pro after batoning some wood. While it split it fast the hilt came loose. Plus if people trust these knives watch Survival Lilly test and review her s1 falkniven laminated steel knife she tested for a survival situation. It totally failed and just looked up the A1 pro obtaining wood. that came loose and failed. These knives are sharp but are fragile and they chip and the tips break easily. I use my cold steel srk San Mai knife in my camping and survival training and it's never broken or chipped. And never came loose. I know that Falkniven has cult fans but just watched Survival Lilly's review ad and don't trust these Fakniven knives in a bug-out bag. Or emergency kit.

None. Great knives for the collectors cabinet but under stress tests they aint that great. Chipping, delamination, and hugely expensive. And just in case you missed the important part .... the blade delaminates under stress. "worlds strongest knife just dont stress it too much because our super amazing steel delaminates under force". Sorry but Fallkniven has built an entire business model around knife collectors, and knife reviewers. The reality is that you are paying 10x for something that is NOT better than a $100 bushcraft knife. Sorry but there it is.

If you put a small peace of packing foam in the sheath it stops the rattle and helps hold the knife.

Trick question? You already have all of them it seems.
