Hey Green-Craft, i have been thinking of getting a new knife to replace my old Mora knife and this review has certainly pushed me toward the F1. Thanks for a great review. Bigstan.

hi big stan i have had an f1 for a year now brilliant i use it most weekends.. Making feather sticks ,splitting forearm size logs and just finished carving another spoon !!!It seems to hold its edge well!!!! only really needs to be stropped a few times to get a really good edge back !!!!!!!! It wont let you down ......................

I broke the tip on mine trying to extract an arrow from a tree. Not what I was expecting from a survival knife ! It's been reprofiled and has gone in the drawer

I have had mine for years. Just the right size and weight. Excellent steel that can take abuse. Cant go wrong getting one of these beauties !

Great review. I've been considering picking one of those up. I'm a little torn between it and the H1. I got to loan an H1 one weekend, and as you wrote, it's not really enough time to really judge a knife. Any opinions about the differences between the two?

My only critisism regarding the F1 is that the handle came loose on mine. It has taken a heck of a beating on the blade, but I wouldn't have expected the molded handle to loosen.

Great spine for using on a ferro rod too.

I'm thinking of buying an F1 myself.
where's the cheapest site to find one?

Ive just ordered one from Greenman Bushcraft for £88.95 with Zytel Sheath (£93.95 with leather sheath).

http://www.greenmanbushcraft.co.uk/cutting-tools/knives/fallkniven-f1-swedish-survival-knife.htm

It was the cheapest place I could find and if you spend over £100 use this code for a £5 discount - PIGGYXZ33GM.

Hope this helps

That price is hard to beat IMO.
