The Fallkniven A1 is Unaffected by water and works equally well in extreme cold and stifling heat.

Review: The Best - If I could, I'd give this knife 6 stars. I researched this knife extensively before purchasing, and watched all the youtube videos. The A1 Destruction Test video cinched it for me. Now that I've got one, and had a chance to test it, all I can say is that every positive review was right on the money. I've been into blades for a long time and I've never held a finer knife in my hand. The laminated VG-10 steel is awesome. Shaving sharp out of the box and easy to maintain. Sharpening might take a little practice if you've never had a knife with a convex grind, but once you get the hang of it its easy. I can't say enough about the blade. This knife will cut, slice, slash and stab anything you could throw at it and ask for more. The knife itself is approximately the same size as a full size Kabar, with the blade slightly shorter but MUCH thicker and the knife heavier. One of the only complaints I've ever heard about this knife is that some people with large hands find the handle a little on the short side. I can see that, however, the handle fits my US-medium/large sized hand perfectly. The kraton handle isn't pretty but it is functional and handles well with wet or gloved hands. The zytel sheath is functional but unexceptional. I will be having a custom leather sheath made for it. This knife is already legendary in European military circles, and I predict it will be in the US Military eventually too. (I first heard of this knife from a US Marine who had used one in Iraq & Afghanistan and said it was bulletproof through extremely hard use in all weather & conditions). Marine grunts know knives. As an avid hunter and outdoorsman I spend a lot of time in the woods, everywhere from the swamps of the South Carolina low country to 10,000+ feet up in the Rockies. I own knives from Kabar, ESEE, Swamp Rat, Buck, Bark River, SOG, Cold Steel, Kershaw, Gerber, Blackhawk, Spyderco etc. I know it's a cliche, but in the case of the Fallkniven A1 it's true, if I could only have one knife it would be this one. Get one, you won't regret spending the money, its a superb knife that'll last a lifetime. I just need to figure out which one of my sons to leave it to when I'm gone. UPDATE: I just put this knife through a brutal work weekend on my hunting property. It performed beautifully. After cutting and chopping for 2 days there was no noticeable decrease in performance. After a few swipes through a Smith's sharpener I was shaving hair off my arm. I really can't say enough about this blade. There is no better mid-size survival knife than the A1. It's expensive, but if you spend a lot of time in the woods, and have to depend on your knife, it'll be money VERY well spent.
Review: Best Hunting/Survival Knife on the Market - This is simply the best, toughest, most useful hunting/survival knife I own or could ever hope to own! As soon as I picked it up and felt its hefty yet razor sharp blade, I thought I could almost win a knife fight against God wielding this baby! The A1 is extremely rugged and up to virtually any task. It holds its edge phenomenally and resharpens with relative ease. Further, the handle is extremely solid while ensuring a good grip regardless of whether drenched in water, blood, grease, animal fat, and just about anything else. I am a lifelong avid hunter and outdoors-man. I have many, many knives. Were I stuck in a survival situation and forced to pick only one, this would be it hands down. My A1 has dressed and butchered many deer and other game animals, hacked through hardwood, diced more than its share of carrots and potatoes and carrots for dinner, and done dozens of other talks. Its VG10 steel cutting edge cannot be praised highly enough. Before trying Fallkniven I was sold on Randall, Cold Steel, and a few custom manufacturers. Fallkniven beats them all hands down. If you want a serious knife that will endure a lifetime of hard use, do anything you could ever want it to do and more, and end up passed down to your grandchildren as an heirloom get yourself one. You will not regret the purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this from Sweden or a copy, it says it's origin is from Japan?**
A: The company Swedish. The steel is Japanese, so they moved manufacturing to Japan. It's that simple. If you know anything about steel and knives, you also know that it's some of the best steel you can have in a knife. It's Lam.VG10 steel, which was first designed in Japan. It's more resistant against corrosion and has better edge sharpness and retention. The steel they used before was German ATS34 steel, an older variety. The best steel is made either in USA or Japan.

**Q: How would you compare this knife to the Spyderco Schempp Rock?**
A: Many differences - weight of A-1 is 30% more than Spyderco Schempp Rock and blade material in A-1 is laminated VG10 vs all VG10 for Spyderco. Blade thickness for A-1 is 1/4-inch, which is 2X thickness of Spyderco Schempp Rock blade. The A-1 blade is convex grind, which provides additional backbone to the cutting edge than the flat grind of the Spyderco. All in all, the A-1 blade would likely hold up to a lot more hard use than the Spyderco.

**Q: So excited about my purchase,  I do have a question.  Why is there a crouck  or devit oat the bottom of the knife, Is there a use for this?**
A: Referring to the portion of the tang that carries through and extends a short bit out the 'back' of the handle: yes it functions as a hammer, but it also goes the other way.  Use it If you need to (gently) pound the point of the knife into or through something.  Some specifications for survival knives argue that there should always be a plate at the butt of the knife that is an integral part of the tang, to be used for hammering both ways (using the knife as a hammer and [carefully] hammering the knife).  Most however seem to have the kind of tang extension this knife has.

**Q: Can I get this knife with a leather sheath?**
A: Not in this listing, but it’s out there or you can get one on Etsy

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THICK!
*by S***2 on June 25, 2019*

Personally I need the blade, of any fixed blade knife, to be at least a 1/4" thick for me to trust it. Several of the other knives that I have bought, that cost much more than this one, have blades that flex quite a bit. Yes, I understand metallurgy, so I am aware that we can argue the longevity and usefulness of a high carbon thin blade, versus a thick one and then throw in the alloy blades and case hardening versus through hardening as well, just to make things more confusing, but I'll stick to my OPINION of this knife. As stated, I love the 1/4" thick blade. It it high carbon and holds an edge very well. If this were the only knife I had ever owned, I'd call it fantastic, however, if I am going to go over a 5" blade length, it would be because I expect to do more chopping, and for that, this knife is a little light. Now do not confuse the weight with it's strength, because I cannot bend it, and I tried. I want things to break at home, not in the field. This knife will out live cockroaches and suck up anything that you throw at it. The sheath is not too tight and not too loose, so you don't have to use the button strap to keep it secure, even upside down, nor do you pull off your pack or belt trying to pull it out. Being that it is 7" long, it requires more dexterity to use for delicate tasks, and to offset that, I believe it was made a little lighter, but that limits it on heavier, chopping type activities. I do have a few 5 incher's that weigh a fair amount more, but all in all, this is a great knife, looks great, firm yet soft no slip grip, unbreakable, holds an edge very well, and a very functional sheath. Despite any hint of criticism, this a recommended and bullet proof knife, that will last you forever.
