OP deputy30 Campfire Member D Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 320	Hi all, I am considering buying a Fallkniven knife. Does anybody have any opinion on the Fallkniven knives in general or their H1 Hunter with the VG-10 steel in particular? Thanks

F-1 in 3G FNNL3 FNNL4 PHK HK9 U1 folder Tre Kronr de Luxe Folder Juni SK3 Jari SK1 Krut SK6 A1 They are excellent knives! My g8-g8 uncle was Barney Riggs. Google and read about him. He roamed around the southwest, mainly west Tx and Az and NM territory. History credits him with from 9 - 12 men he killed, not counting Mexicans and Indians. Family lore has it at 18.

But not really made in Sweden ,either. For the kind of $$ they charge for their knives, they could at least be honest about who is really building them. Hattori builds Most of them..

jim62 Campfire Tracker J Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 5,978	Really, which models exactly do the claim are totally made in Sweden? Given the fact they have taken credit for Hattori's work all these years, any claim or impression they would give the consumer that they would make on their website does not mean much,IMHO. Even $10 Frosts/Mora knives are clearly stamped "made in Sweden". No Fallknivens are. There is a reason for that. Last edited by jim62; 12/12/11.

jim62 Campfire Tracker J Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 5,978	Really? Which ones? You are the one claiming it- show me the proof. Show me a link to any direct quote on their website that says any model is made entirely in Sweden. Not marketing BS in the descriptions about Northern lights or Norse Gods.. I am talking about actual country of origin listed in the specs or the description. Or just the simple statement "these knives are made by us in Sweden". You can't find it, because it's not there. The power of suggestion is an amazing thing. All their fixed blade knives are made by Hattori and their Folders are all made by MOKI in Japan. They did not make their own knives 15 years ago when Linder in Germany made them and they don't make them now. Read this recent thread on the Fallkniven official forum at Knifeforums.com. Their own sales rep says the same thing- http://www.knifeforums.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/916057/ Hattori Bowie.
