My Bark River Highland for your Fallkniven F1?

[Landy_Dom]

Been thinking about this for a while now.... Got a Bark River Highland knife in black micarta, and I really like it. The only trouble is, it is a little small in my (rather large) hand. I bought it mail order, so did not forsee this. I was toying between the Bark River and the Fallkniven F1 at the time, and I wasn't sure I'd have the same handle size problem with the Fallkniven. Today, however, I got a chance to try a Fallkniven F1 in a shop in LLangollen and it's a good fit for me. I'd therefore like to swap if anyone fancies the Bark River blade over the Fallkniven?

My knife is this one in black micarta:

If any one is interested, PM me and we can discuss age / condition / spec etc and sort out the fine details.

In the middle of the town there is a main road bridge between the A5 and the A539. On the short stretch between that bridge and the main A5 high street, diagonally opposite the Spar. OS Grid ref 215421 or thereabouts. They have a website too - www.proadventure.co.uk - no affiliation - just a happy customer etc.

maybe i'm being a little too specific?

i'll broaden the question then -

3 possibilities:

1) Does anyone have an F1 they'd like to swap or part-ex for a Bark River Highland

2) Does anyone want to sell me a Fallkniven F1?

3) Is there anyone out there who has something ELSE to swap for the Highland, and/or
someone who is after something else in return for an F1 - maybe a 3 way swap could
be set up?

Here's hoping.....

OK, I'd like this - so would anyone like me to make them a lapplander 90 with a sheath?

Poss 3 way deal.

Like this, but with some exotic wood, and I can leave off the brass bits if you like.

I've now bought an F1 so am looking to swap the Bark River for some of the following:

decent 3x3 tarp
bivi bag
head torch
anything else of combined swap value approx £45?

or a 3-way swap with dougster who fancies it (see above)

Cheers

Dom.
