SWEDS1L: S1 Forest Knife, Black, Leather Sheath

Fallkniven

S1 The Forest Knife is probably the best hunting and fishing knife ever made. Its sturdy blade made of the new extremely strong stainless laminate VG10 custom steel is convex grounded for extra strong cutting power with no risk for edge breakage. The modified clippoint design works well for penetrating purposes, the long curved edge is ideal for skinning. The blade is long enough for lighter chopping and won´t break, it´s full 5 mm (0.2") thick!

Would you prefer to get no reflection from the blade, we offer a black CeraCoat 8H version.

The checkered handle gives a good grip even when your hands are cold or wet. Depending on your needs, you have the possibility to chose from two kinds of sheaths, an open-top dangler in thick, black leather or a zytel sheath with snappers around the handle.

Like all our models, the S1 Forest Knife is well tested before release, you will find no teething problems. If your looking for total quality, a classic knife from Fallkniven AB, is never wrong. Try the S1 Forest Knife, you won´t be disappointed!

Fallkniven has instituted a rolling change for their VG-10 models – they are slowly being changed to VG-Wolf steel, a laminated steel that utilizes a VG-10W core. Steel may vary depending on availability and existing stock.

My best knife
I received this knife as a gift and quickly became my favorite. I carry it daily except for the days I want to take my other knives out of the closet for a change. I do use it every day at work and when needed for chores at home. I sharpen it with a smith ceramic stone to keep that great convex edge.

I understand now why these convex knives are awesome
I'm surprised how good it is.The whole convex thing now feels like a non issue as the performance of these knives genuinely surprised me. The actual convex angle is far smaller than I expected meaning any sharpening won't be an issue BUT the way it cuts and whittles wood is staggeringly good. What the convex angle does on top of the sharpness and toughness is the way it allows you to control the bite of the blade as it penetrates wood. Generally with really hard woods most knives just bite and get stuck where this allows you to actually twist the handle and change the depth of the angle as it works, meaning timber used for creating feather sticks and other tasks are extremely productive. I think the convex acts as a mini fulcrum to lever against...it's really goodBest knife I've had...

Much more than you pay for.....
I wanted a nice knife to add to my bushcraft/camp knife selection and decided on this. It is great!!!! They really do a great job laminating vg10 steel to the blade for a super strong combination. It's convex edge is a little tricky to sharpen but not impossible. You can baton through wood or cut up deer. This blade will do almost all camp chores with ease. Ergonomics are very good for a bush knife---comfortable in the hand---no hot spots. If you look at the steel first when you consider a knife, this is a great choice. Can't go wrong with this Fallkniven offering!! Almost forgot, high quality leather sheath---beautiful work.
