Fallkniven A2 field test

I've used it intensively as a choper. A very good chopping ability. The thin edge chiped into the rocks on the road while cuting the first and the last branches. That kraton handle I would rate as very poor (I did almost nothing to it and it already looks like worn-out). Anyway, I should rate its steel as a very high quality one, a very good cutter and a very good choper in wood.

4:53 - rock double hit, here are your chips.

@tomxaak A good steel never chips! The edge should slightly deform or get missaligned, but not chip! Chipping means parts of the steel are breaking out of it. This is the worst thing that can happen to a "sturdy" knife and they prove a poor heat treatment of the blade.

hey not to be rude but at the speed your cutting those small branches and i mean small cause of the size of the knife i mean i can cut that fast with a f1 if the branch is that small, learn a bit about knife handling il give you tips if you want with a knife like an a2 you can baton a whole tree in my opinion in no time

[out5yder]

@samstterhamstteer Hahaha :)) You're so funny. Have you ever have an A2 in your hand? How can you say you can baton its 6 mm thick blade through a whole tree?! That's a thick piece of dead steel, not a laser!

Dude, you should take some "How to use a knife 101 for dummies" course fast.. before ruining another excellent knife with your ignorance and lack of skill.

[out5yder]

@Gungrave123 I don't need any course anymore. I've got a Busse Combat knife and a Cold Steel in SK-5 steel and I had no chipping issues with those. :)

Cheers!

Everything about this kids chopping form screams noob

[fastcamo]

This is a great example of how NOT to use a knife, why didn't you just dig a hole with it also? I am very surprised you didn't end up hurt, if your going to chop with a knife please learn how to do it properly first.

Oh mein Gott , bist du doof

@out5yder

Your Busse and SK-5 CS didn't chip because they aren't stainless blades!?

The laminated VG-10 Fallkniven is one of the few stainless survival blades and thereby:

- not comparable to your carbon blades;

- more brittle;

- and most important: not to be used like an idiot smacking it in the ground like you did.

There is a thread on Knifeforums about your video. These people are knife experts who dislike your video.

There are two obvious problems in your technique:

1- Your chopping method is not good (awkward & ineffective angle, poor body mechanics, dangerous blows and bad precision)

2- You chop into the ground with rocks (any steel will damage when used that way)

Use a large piece of wood to shield the blade from the ground.

Sink the knife in at a more steep angle and keep your legs away.

it chipped out so badly becuz of you hit the ground really hard many times. this is a Really strong knife and really hard. that means it Will chip out if ur not careful. but it wont brake in half!

[Petegrin1]

@Gungrave123 hehe, i think i could use some of those lessons
