I agree with all your talking points and also agree that the F1 meets all criteria. Get a zytel sheath and now you also don't have to worry about the sheath getting dirty. If I want to do a lot of wood whittling all day long I bring a knife with a more rounded and thicker handle but the F1 is my 'just in case knife'. If you want to keep a scandi to zero bevel it's actually a lot of work, you need some serious tools, you will have to remove some serious material and that's time consuming also. If I'm gonna use a knife that's scandi to zero I put a secondary convex bevel on it before even taking it out in the bush.
I still to this day believe the Fallkniven F1 is the finest production belt knife currently on the market. If it was the only knife made in the world I dont think we would miss out on much.
@@eagleridge1972 I am jealous of your ATS-34 German made F1. That is the only iteration of the knife I have not been able to own. Currently my only one is one of the full tang blanks with micarta scales on it that was a gift from my wife. This video has made me think I need to order a standard F1 in Lam COS.
I have a substantial knife collection. But i always come backbto my fallkniven F1. Small, lighy, easy to carry and oh so capable. I made myself a kydex sheath to wear it slightly higher on my belt. Witch is nice if i dont use a backpack.
I’m on my second F1 as well, about eight years ago, learnt my first one to my brother when where in Killarney of course he in lost it . But he was good enough to replace it with another one
Excellent video! Just curious if you are going to do a follow-up video on the Gossman Polaris knife you have. That grind is completely different than either of the grinds you covered in this video.
i enjoyed this video so much can i ask you your opinion on karasuandokniven i have their small axe and the light fixed blade knife i find the little hatchet as its called very versatile its a knife on a stick
first time viewer I really enjoyed this video and I have a couple of Folks that I love.
