Flawless Knife
By Jeep 4x4 Enthusiast
I already owned the Fallkniven F1 and wanted a knife with a little more reach and thickness for heavier tasks. I live in the pacific northwest and most of the knives out there can't stand up to the rain we get here. I don't have to worry about rust, its truly truly razor sharp, and the handle is excellent for handling in gloves or mitts.If you have any doubts about this tool, just search youtube for all the videos showing its toughness, and capabilities.If it was the end of the world and I could only have one knife. Out of what I own this is the one.

I have a decent knife collection which includes a Fallkniven S1 and Cold Steel SKR in VG1 San Mai III. The S1 is very, very good. Extremely sharp out of the box. Nice heft, nice grip and nice sheath. Thick blade which makes the knife very sturdy. Passes the copy paper slice test like a champ. Close to surgical sharp. Did not have to resharpen it yet so can't talk about that. This blade comes from Japan so technically its a Swedish design, but Made in Japan knife. The S1 and SKR are very similar. But VG10 steel is 'supposedly' superior to VG1 so there you are. If you have the money get the S1. If you are on a budget get the SKR.

Great knife, a little expensive, sheath could be better
By SW
The knife itself is excellent. Prior reviews have said this is razor sharp. The only edge I've encountered aside from a razor that I'd call "razor sharp" is a broadhead. So don't expect to be able to shave with it. But for all other uses it is great. Well made, beautiful finish, full tang, slim profile. The rubber handle resists scuffing surprisingly well. I've scratched up the blade and it polishes right out. Sharpens easily. Thick enough to pry wood, sharp enough to filet fish. Only drawback is the handle could be more ergonomic- my first 3 fingers and thumb do most of the gripping. But I still give the knife a 5 out of 5. It's the best one of its size I've ever had and is the sharpest of all my knives.The sheath needs to be redesigned. Mine came with the zytel version. Too much unnecessary plastic; creates a bulky sheath and top-heavy carry, detracts from the slim benefit of the knife itself. It's functional and I've had no problems with knife retention, but I'm always keeping my eyes open for a better one.Price is on the high side for what you get. I brought it down by using a gift card and was comfortable with the final cost, but at normal price with the sheath being what it is the whole deal is a bit expensive. I wouldn't have bought it without the gift card but if you are comfortable with the price go for it, it's a great knife.5 star knife, 3-4 star sheath and price.
