Great info there, thanks OldJimbo

Yes, good point Pysen. As you say, might have been what was in vogue at the time, with only the SRK and A1 surviving through to today. (Which is handy for a survival knife :) ) Could have been a lot of other knives produced in the 1990s like them, all drawing from a general design fashion...

Completely understand that to an expert eye, they probably appear like chalk and cheese. As I said in my original post, '...the materials are different... Perhaps they 'borrowed' the designs and made better knives?' I suppose my point is, if I may take the A1 as an example, given that it...

I will pop over to British Blades and post there too. I have found on Bladeforums.com a correspondence between a user and Peter Hjortberger from Fallkniven, where Peter is quoted replying: 'Since 1999, when the A1 was released, we have seen...' As mentioned, the Cold Steel SRK (which the A1...

Hey HillBill, That was my first thought, but I can't find any info on the F1 existing before 1995, apart from the 'eight years in development' line. The Master Hunter, SRK and Trail Master (the three knives that look like Fallknivens) are all in the Cold Steel 1993 catalogue. A PDF is...

Here's something that's been puzzling me lately: Casually scrolling through Heinnie Haynes website, I noticed the striking similarity between Fallkniven knives and a few Cold Steel knives. Namely the F1 to the Master Hunter, the S1 and A1 to the SRK, and the Thor to the Trail Master. After a...

Nice work!

Hey, very interesting thread, most helpful. Is Longstrider's website down? www.longstrider.co.uk is coming up as 'server not found'.

Completely with you on the long limbs. Being 6'4" it's frustrating when sleeves/trousers stop and inch or two short. Very happy when I found out about Fjällräven trousers with their raw leg length. If only their shirts had really long arms too! I find myself looking out for thumb holes as an...

I'm guessing there's no vehicle access to where you're looking to shoot from? If so, a Land Rover with flood lights (perhaps on two wheel ramps at front for lift) would throw a bit of light up there.

They are available from Ray Mears' website and Lissom & Muster in Manchester. I bought a 400g jacket but had to send it back as I'm 6'4" and sleeves were a tad short for my monkey arms :) Well made though (there is the name of the individual seamstress stitched in to each one), ethical company...

Thanks all for the warm welcome :)

Good afternoon all I have been reading the forums with interest and look forward to asking the knowledgeable members some newbie questions. How long until one is granted permission to post photos, please? (I have a question about possibly damaged equipment and would like advice.) Many...
