It's not often that something lives up to the hype, but the F1 does, I've had it for ages and am still delighted with it<br />SBWThe Suburban Bushwackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372690405902840131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825273392145948457.post-84315798555892715352011-02-16T09:19:02.807+00:002011-02-16T09:19:02.807+00:00I know this is an older post, but I saw it and had...I know this is an older post, but I saw it and had to comment. I have an F1 and love it! Great knife! Fallkniven did it right with the exception of the placement of the lanyard hole, but I don't use it. The F1 is a great everyday-use knife.<br /><br />I also own Becker and ESEE knives which are great blades, too.Brian Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11937257563835611400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825273392145948457.post-45569958059954787312009-03-01T00:21:00.000+00:002009-03-01T00:21:00.000+00:00Albert, try Michiganknives.com.

That's pretty close to the cheapest you'll find and he's got them in stock.<BR/><BR/>I love the Fallknivens. I've been eying both an F1 blade blank (if I can find one) for a project and that H1 3G.<BR/><BR/>SBW, once you're flush with contractor's cash I'd also drop a couple hundred bucks on a Charles May custom.<BR/>Depending on the exchange rate, you might get a good deal. I know a lot of the guys on Britishblades speak highly of Gene Ingram and Charles May. They're friends and their knives are of similar quality but Charlie's are cheaper and the wait is shorter.<BR/>I recently went on a knife-buying binge and picked up a few of Charlie's knives on the secondary market and his Skifa Scandi is pure bushcraft bliss. I ended up with that one and a drop-point knife he calls the Bladiemae. <BR/>I ended up selling the Skifa because I wanted a different handle material but I'm calling next week and ordering one with the handles I want. It's about an 18-month wait so my wallet can recover. Just Google "Charles May Knives" and you should find his site.<BR/><BR/>I've got a couple Bark Rivers as well, a Montana Guide and full-tang Kephart,with which I used to baton (poorly) some wood this morning. The Montana Guide's a bit thick, but I love that retro-looking Kephart.<BR/><BR/>My new kick is Moras and other scandis. In addition to the aforementioned Skifa I'm buying assorted scandi knife blades in the delusional hope I can make a knife. Starting out with one of those cool Enzo trappers.<BR/><BR/>Bushcraft and woods knives are kind of an addiction, aren't they?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825273392145948457.post-19807043592284210452009-02-28T14:14:00.000+00:002009-02-28T14:14:00.000+00:00You gotta check one out, they're ace.

I bought mine in the US as it was loads cheaper than the UK price.<BR/><BR/>Also look at the H1 their hunters knife which I'll be getting as my economy improves. <BR/>I made certification this morning so I'm now an approved contractor for water, electric's in a week ohh errrr! I keep my myself motivated thinking about all the neat crap i'll be able to buy<BR/><BR/>Fallkniven do quite a few really nice knives, I'd love to pimp a TK6, then there's the new PHK or professional hunter knife which is similar in blade shape to the knives some New Zealand hunters use and looks ideal for butchering a big ol' Hawg.<BR/><BR/>The real issue for us in the UK is that with the demise of the great british rupee they are now REALLY expensive. So expensive that the work of some top end custom knife makers is starting to look a lot less expensive in comparison.<BR/><BR/>With Fallkniven you get the super trick laminated steels, but when you can have made to measure for the same or less.....<BR/><BR/>Hope you're well<BR/>SBWThe Suburban Bushwackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372690405902840131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825273392145948457.post-78521413915079344562009-02-27T19:35:00.000+00:002009-02-27T19:35:00.000+00:00Nice Review SBW,I haven't had the occasion to hand...Nice Review SBW,<BR/><BR/>I haven't had the occasion to handle one. I wonder if they are available here in the USA? I'll check into it.
