Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Fallkniven knife

Out of dozens of knives my overall favorite is the Fallkniven F-1. The handle is narrow so that it will fit flatter in sheaths on flight vests. They make a Micarta handled version, Bark River rehandles them in various woods and you can even buy blade blanks if you want.

The workmanship on Fallkniven blades is excellent as is the laminated VG-10 steel regardless of where they are made by who.

The Bark River Gunny is almost the same knife made in America.





I think most people will find the handle on the Gunny to be more comfortable.

I think that the steel on the 3G F-1 is better but the steel in any of the F-1s and any of the Gunny's is plenty good. Workmanship is better on the factory Fallkniven's.

The Bark River Bravo-1 is a little bigger knife and is another excellent choice, especially if you have bigger hands. FWIW here's the Bravo 2, Bravo 1 and the Gunny compared:





Anyway that's my 2c.................dj
