fallkniven f1 review and cutting test part 2 of 2

Hey all, in this review (part 2 0f 2) I'll show you the swedish fallkniven f1 survival knife, cut up some wood with it and show you the sharpness. Check out the table of contents below to see what is in this vid. I'll share my experience on it and try to give an honest opinion: an awesome knife for bushcraft and I love the handling and the beauty of it. Fallkniven is a great company with some nice people behind it. This knife is a serious beauty. I'll throw in a little comparison with the rc-3 by the company formerly known as rat cutlery (esee) just for the kicks. I highly recommend this knife!

i got this knife two days ago and made a bow and some arrows with it i was very careful not to chip it but i looked and it has micro chips near the tip the day i got it. i also sliced me finger with it down to the bone the day i got it

@joeclapper ouch, that must have hurt. It's sharp isn't it :) The micro chips can easily be sharpened out. You'll get to the better metal then and probably won't have any issues then with the chipping. It has to do with the heat treat on the very edge where the metal is very thin, that might be a little bit too much, making the steel brittle. the steel just slightly away from the edge is better.

het is een best mooi mes maar het mes is nogal klein ik ga denk ik een ka-bar usmc kopen

[zyhano]

@BoudensMarco cool, geen ervaring mee, wat ga je ermee doen?

[vontheviking]

I have the same knife.. good stuff...... regards stealthy uk

[zyhano]

@vontheviking thanks, it's good stuff for sure :)

@joeclapper also for a micro sharp edge use a leather strop with a compound. it has been proven to polish and sharpen the blade to a micro scopical sharp non raged edge.

@bushwalker75 hey man, cool, ja, ik heb tuurlijk ook een mora maar een f1 is toch net ff wat meer mes dan een mora. Niet 'nodig', maar wel leuk :) Heb je er al wat mee kunnen doen? ook al een mooie verzameling lees ik ;)

[bushwalker75]

ik heb er een nu,en ik heb wat carvingtesten gedaan met verschillende messen zoals de mora craftline top q,brusletto kniven,condor basic bushcraft,en een peltonen m95.In mijn ervaring is er niet zo veel verschil tussen de fallkniven en de mora met de carving testen,mijn mora was 17 euro en mijn f1 koste 110 euro maar het is wel een heel fijn mes en ben er erg blij mee,ik ga hem binnenkort in het bos uittesten

[bushwalker75]

best wel duur 110 euro,maar ik ga er toch een halen denk ik...goeie review trouwens
