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 TH1 Taiga Hunter - Desert Ironwood - Zytel Sheath

The taiga Knives are distinctive hunting and all-round Knives for the demanding user. A strong blade in laminated cobalt steel does not only mean a stable function, you notice quite quickly that the edge holds the sharpness really well without being brittle. The reason is the fine, well heat tReated and tempered steel but also the convex shaped edge that is not only strong but also wood-sharp. The Ergonomic shape of the handle provides a secure grip regardless of weather and wind.As shown in the design, TH1 is a handmade knife with a handle in the very exclusive desert ironwood (lat. Olneya tesota). This species is not listed in CITES Annexes or the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species and is therefore legal to use. Like all natural materials, it varies in texture and color, making each knife an individual creation. A beautifully veined pattern may look attractive but a straight, patterned handle is actually stronger. Desert ironwood, which grows in the southwestern United States, has a somewhat peculiar quality – it is heavier than water, its density is 1.2 kg/dm³ which means it will sink. If you want to maintain or even increase the luster in the wood, treat it with log oil, furniture oil, bench oil or other type of wood oil containing linseed oil. The fact that the blade goes full width through the handle (so-called full tang blade) results in a very strong and reliable construction and gives a comfortable weight to the knife.What is a bit special about these Knives is the very secure plastic sheath where a specially designed locking system ensures that the knife is properly locked when it is placed in the sheath. It works regardless of weather and wind, sand or snow.
