Fallkniven Knives Descriptions
Fallkniven A1 Army Survival Knife with Zytel Sheath
With this knife a new world standard is being set! Technical design, Ergonomics, and economy are brought together within the MODel A1, representing the leading concept available today. The knife meets and exceeds established international standards for strength, personal security and value. MODel A1 is a semi-large all-purpose knife for heavy duty use. The powerful blade is made of extremely hard yet tough laminated VG10 steel and will withstand the stress of hard use. The knife is superb to chop with, but also works very well with daily taSKS, thanks to the Ergonomic grip. The full tang goes entirely through the handle, so you can strike the end of it without breaking the grip. The sturdy black zytel sheath allows you to fasten the knife on your belt or your pack - even upside down. MODel A1 is a water repelling concept which works just as well in extreme cold as in stifling heat.
Fallkniven S1x - Laminated CoS - Black Blade
Your X-knife is the strongest, sharpest and safest stainless steel knife in production. If your life is in danger, you can always rely on your X-knife. It is designed to withstand all the stresses applied by the human hand, which means that it is virtually indestructible. It assumes, however, that you are careful with the knife and that it is used as intended, namely as a sharp Precision tool. A knife of this kind is of course not a throwing knife, nor is it particularly good at splitting wood for those functions, youll find an axe to be both better and cheaper.The basis of the X-knifes strength lies in the laminated cobalt steel, and also in the well-thought-out construction in which break zones have been eliminated. Together with the hand-shaped convex edge, the X-knife is a concept that beats everything else in the world in terms of safety and comfort.A few words about the all-black version: This surface is the hardest we have ever encountered. Although we really tried to wear down the black coating with the toughest, driest curly birch we could find, we never succeeded in getting holes in this extremely hard, durable surface. Still, we cannot guarantee that it will stay for time and eternity, after all, the blade can be ground and certainly bites a diamond or ceramic stone on the surface. But you have probably never met a harder surface, the hardness is at 2400 HV (Vickers) or around HRC 83.In our usual way, we have put a lot of energy into designing a safe knife sheath, which is actually where the knife will spend most of its time. The design of the sheath determines the access to the knife, and here we have really put all our efforts in order to get a safe sheath that allows easy access to the knife. The sheath has both a transport lock (the folding bracket with a strap) and a working safety detail that allows the knife to be in place until you decide to use it. It is a bit a belt-and-braces approach, but we like putting safety first a lost knife is of no use. The transport lock will therefore allow the knife to be fastened tip-up or tip-down on the body or on your equipment without any risk.Overall: We wont be surprised if people starts recognizing the X-knife as the worlds most thoroughly thought-out knife concept where no corner has been cut, nothing spared, to bring out the very best from an Ergonomic and safety point of view. The knife is sharp and strong, the sheath is smart and safe. So, what more can you ask for? Well, weve cReated the knife to be really good looking too!
