A rare video of Mickey actually being a normal human being vs a hyperactive lunatic with a knife lmao!
knife. is a hell of a drug
Sorry Ladies & Gents, Fallkniven has raised it's price way to high at this point in time. We do not support this!
I agree, about $400 here in the US it is very expensive. Luckily I bought one before the price hike, and it is a great knife. Just getting into LionSteel knives though, seem to be a much better value. What do you use to mirror polish the edge? I am a novice sharpener and would love to become more skilled, starting suggestions?
Thanks, you guys have very interesting videos.
Dutch Bushcraft Knives I bought S1 Pro here in Sweden for 2900kr (290 dollars) on www.outnorth.se
Standard price was 462$, then it was on sale for 416$, then with coupon i got it for 290$.
Amazon has it for $300 for here in the USA
The price in Australia now is AUD479.95 av. I bought a Cudeman MT-5 for AUD129.95 instead. 5mm blade, 95mm blade, Bohler N695 steel with an HRC of 60. The Fallkniven is nice, but not $500 nice :).
Mickey is the new Luke Skywalker :D
Watching this video it’s clear how serious and professional you guys took building up your channel.
I somehow only discovered you guys a few weeks ago and have been binging on all the content.
You guys deserve many more subscribers , love the videos !
Thanks! we do our best
+Dutch Bushcraft Knives yea I agree you guys deserve way more subscribers. Every share and like and subscribe to there channel. Just sharing it on Facebook or where lever may go a long way and add some for them.
thanks a lot Ryan. It is highly appreciated!
Best to you!
reading this comment 8 months after and you guys have 130k subs!!!!!!
Well they have
The COS steel stropps back an edge so fast its amazing. it doesnt have the edge retention of crew wear but the way it comes right back on a strop is amazing. its a fantastic knife
love the backround tracks you guys put in your vids there always relaxing n fun
thanks billy!
I used to only use American made knives until I finally got the A1 and I love my A1. Now its been almost 2 years since, and I can't wait until Christmas morning to open up my F1D. (I'm like a 100% positive that Santa is bringing it for me.)😁
mike oehlke did you get it!?
I thinks it’s an amazing piece of hardware... never had a fallkniven in my life, but I think I’ll spend that money for sure...! Really impressive knife and really good video (as always)..!
Great video! I love mine! The wife and kids got out for father's day this year. Probably my favorite in my small collection.
+Erik Jensen that must be the best fathersday present ever haha
Impressive knife and mirror finish you put on it. You might want to wear safety glasses when batoning, a wood splinter in the eye would suck.
thats a great looking blade i made a knife out of crap steel hardend and tempered it and made a convex edge and the wood just blasts apart like that too i think the convex edge on the thick blade makes it like a hatchet i can imagine how nice the s1 is with its quality steel probably holds its edge like a champ
Just bought the S1 Pro!! Can't wait for it to arrive. You guys make GREAT videos! Thank you
thanks a lot! good purchase!
Excellent video. Very helpful. I originally had my eyes on the A1, now they're moving towards this one.
thanks a lot Alex!
Martin in the back looking at this like his A1 just gave birth to a baby hahaha
Hmmm....4 garbergs or 1 S1Pro....I think I will go with the Mora.
Ive gone through like 15 mora 2000s since you wrote that comment :D
Falkniven makes great stuff.
I still love my benchmade "bushcrafter".
We have our eyes set on the benchmade bushcraft for the future! so i'm very curious!
Its not as pretty ... but i built most of a shelter with it, with some help from my Bahco Laplander saw which everyone should have in there backpack. Fits in your pocket too. I also purchased a nice kydex sheath from www.godspeedtactical.com/. Great knife.
Hey while were on the subject. Another great bushcraft knife brand is Esse. I have the Esse 4.. my wife uses it. The only problem it has is its carbon steel and it does rust over time. Its probably sharper than the benchmade and it has the thumb choiles which i like, and the benchmade although it does not have that is still a tank.
Hey Jay, I had the esee 4. to be honest.. it's the worst knife I ever had. The 55-57 HRC on the 1095 steel is way to soft for a knife that small. It didn't hold an edge in a good edge angle. The angle esee gives the knife from the factory is about 45-50c which is unusable for bushcrafting. here in the netherlands the esee 4 with sheath is about $170,-. no $170,- knife should have 1095 in it. 1095 is a budget steel. However I do have good experiences with 1095-Crro-van from the becker bk2. It was not amazing but it was very decent for the price.
I do love the robust feel from esee and the kydex sheath which is very excellent.
Hope you don't mind my opinion about the esee haha. I bet I would love the Benchmade a lot though.
Yes your correct. I think that the steel is compromised with Esse knives. I do like the grip on it with the finger choil.
this video needs to be seen by more people... Is great!!! I want this knife!!!
Lol Martin hugging the tree in the back. Ever get that feeling when climbing a rope? When I was a lot younger it happened to me. So random. Lol
I would love to see a head to head between Bravo 1 3v and S1 PRO. Edge retention, sharpening, batoning and what not. Keep it up guys, great vids!
it would make a great video for sure! we'll keep it in mind!
@@DutchBushcraftKnives you could now make a comparison with the s1x because It Is more similar about the price too...
And i am undecided on which One to take
@@DutchBushcraftKnives if you Want you could Just tell me here in the comments which One Is Better at doing the things you've done in the video( batoning, chopping, fire making) in your opinion
Hello from San Diego. May 2022. I wanted to buy your knife, but i buy thru Blade HQ on layaway.
I don't have the 400 to buy yours up front. I will get your knife when i save up. I think it's too late to be one of the 1st 300.
Im sad about that.
Thank you guys for your reviews and your great friendship. It's nice to watch.
✌🏼🦁
it's very hard to watch others do knife reviews after being exposed to this channel... very entertaining and informative gents! I think I may get this one
thanks a lot James! we appreciate it!
Hey DBK (and viewers)! I'm Ryan Little. Super honored to have my music in this video. Be sure to subscribe to my channel here on TH-cam for more music and new releases.
Another great video! How can anybody dislike any of your videos?
thanks a lot mate!
Nice review of a great blade. I have the laminated CoS steel on my V1L Volcano. I reckon that the S1 marks the "sweet spot" in between the F1 and the A1!👍
It sure does! the V1L is a unique looking blade but with the CoS there is no doubt it's awesome.
thanks for the comment mate!
-stay sharp
GREAT videos! Whoever does your editing is phenomenal.
AWESOME review - as are all of your reviews.
I was looking at the Fallkniven A1 and was comparing it to the First Edge 5050 and 5150 models.
Still undecided but... the Fallkniven is one ELEGANT blade! Not sure if there's any relevant differences between Elmax and VG10 laminate. I do prefer the convex grind so maybe I'll make a decision to opt for the Fallkniven.
Thanks, guys!
Thanks! We do the editing ourselves. Sometimes Mikkie B, sometimes Maarten.
Cheers!! and thank you for your kind words!
you guys have so many good reviews and I just ordered mine at Amazo. can't wait to receive it. great works guys. AWESOME!!!
thanks a lot mate and congrats on the great purchase! I hope it will bring you a lot of joy!
You guys are great, undoubtedly the best knife review channel on the tube.
Thanks a lot! We really appreciate the kind words!
All the best to you!
It's the year 2020 & I LOVE this video !!!!!
I've started adding links to your videos to my amazon reviews to hopefully draw more people to you guys!
wow thanks a lot! we really appreciate that mate! cheers!
You guys are funny, even your slow mo are funny! And the knife is great of course! Subbed! Take care, Irène.
thanks a lot mate!
Just ordered this knife from knivesandtools. Thanks for the quality review lads, entertaining and informative.
+Mick Walker thanks a lot! You are very welcome!
the bicep twins, good video.
God I really want one of these, what an insane blade!
Ja, ik ben er ook wel weg van tot nu toe! :) Heb er nog niet heel veel mee gedaan maar alles wat ik er mee heb gedaan doet 'ie lachend. Voor zo'n dikzak van een mes verwacht je niet dat je er zo secuur mee kan werken. Geld meer dan waard!
The quality of the knife is insane, but the price is also pretty damn insane. Many people could not justify spending that much on it. I wonder though how many years under constant or even often use it would hold up. You should post an update sometime maybe in the next 5 months and show us if it is still a reliable tool in a survival situation.
Very enjoyable review, as always! Keep em coming 👍🏻
thanks a lot! we sure will!
Dude has incredible speed! 😄
Hey DBK!
Maybe for a future review take a look at White River Knives Firecraft FC4 or FC5. A little bit funky looking knife, but it looks like it might be surprisingly good!
Hey Micky B. Vette review man! Morgenavond komt als het goed is de bezorger met mijn nieuwe S1 Pro. Ben erg benieuwd en heb hoge verwachtingen van het mes. Helemaal na deze aflevering van DBK haha. Keep the content coming. I realy enjoy it!
Great videos guys! This is how a video should be when you want to know moore about the knife itself!
I have just spent 3 hours reprofiling my ambush tundra to full convex. 3v is a pain to get a mirror finish. lately I will trade toughness for sharpenability .
It reallly is man, but 3v is worth it though. But because of the high amount of vanadium in the steel it is much harder to sharpen than COS steel.
Very good video!!
Congratulations!
Beautiful place!
I hope that you guys continuous with yours videos!!
thanks a lot mate! we plan to continue for a long time!
Could you do a review of the cold steel srk san may III??
great review as usual on a great knife :)
Thank you very much sir
You guys are so bloody good iv been subscribed since 20000 subs i think, and you guys only get better. you dont even need to be into knives to enjoy your content!
Fantastic performance
Very good review and test. I am looking for the S1 pro. Good luck with your DBK.
thanks a lot mate we appreciate it.
Cheers! Love the vids. I picked up the F1 Pro last year. Awsome!!
One of our favorites!
I would love to see how you got the mirror finish , have you done any tutorials?
Great vid by the way , I'm going to buy one
You cannot see it with the naked eye, but when batoning, when the baton makes contact with the knife spine a laser beam activates and splits the wood. It is solar powered, so no batteries needed. How else could you explain how well it batons? Another great job guys! Thanks.
This is incredible! you have found out the secret. Better be calling Stephen Hawking soon because you are on to something mate!
The Morakniv Garberg can do Everything this knife can do and more, plus it can be purchased at a fraction of the cost.
just discovered this channel, little gem! keep up! love your style!
thanks a lot jager!
I wonder of this would be a good companion knife for a large Chopper. I'm looking at an extrema ratio parang(Kreios) to get real soon and a pair it up with a knife like this... the S1 Pro!
well, it sure is a good knife so I think it'll make a great pair! You could even go with the F1 for the finer tasks as you have a parang with you.
I see many play buttons in your future. Great videos!
+Will Sweet thanks a lot will!
If the thing you do most with your knives is batoning - maybe what you want is an axe or a saw?
A saw is great in combination with a batonning knife. I enjoy batonning a lot more than splitting wood with an axe axtually. I love batonning wood next to the fire place. I wouldn't want to be chopping wood in the dark with an axe.
Haha - well I can certainly sympathize with the love part, no argument.
Well-being after all is instrumental to survival. I am not sure I am
completely on board with the darkness thing. It's very rarely completely
dark and if it is I don't know why a knife would be much safer granted
you possess muscle memory axe proficiency. Personally I tend to combine a
stock classic stock wood handle mora with an indonesian parang I bough
ages ago. Not even the jungle kind this one has more of a turnip chopper
vibe going. But it's great. The thing is I hardly ever chop or cleave
wood. I just find the right sizes and break them into the desired
lengths roughly. once the fire is going I'll just gradually burn trunks
and big blocks and save the sweat. And if my goal was producing a lot of
nice similar size pieces of varying thickness I'd just bring an axe
instead of my parang and save the energy and the knife blade.
thanks for your explanation! I can understand completely! The love part is my biggest reason!
YEah. Knives are great ;D
So legit this episode, for sure my next knife
Btw, a fat knife isn't necessarily better depending on the knifes use, I found my bark River bravo 1 was really poor at cutting vegetables compared to a kitchen knife because of the blades thickness. Point is, when looking at different knife designs consider all the uses you want it to be capable of or bare in mind its limitations. Sometimes it's better to get two different designs to meet different tasks rather than expecting one knife to do it all well. In Australia we often say a particular type of person is a jack of all trades but master of none, this can also fit some knives.
exactly! this is the case with the S1. Its a jack of all trades but master of none. Nice i'm going to remember that one.
Just wondering, if I want a polished look to the blade but don't want a mirror polish, whats the highest level of grit would I want in a whetstone?
As always, another damn good video guys! What sharpening stone set up do you use?
We both use Naniwa Chosera stones. Basic set up is 400 grit, 1000 grit, 3000 grit and 5000 grit. If need be we also have a 120 grit, 8k and 12k stone. Both chosera and Shapton ha-no-kuromaku are excellent!
This is"back in the day"when we watch for the knife....
Wow DBK.... You go sleep right now
A fine review. But why don't use an axe instead of "batoning" with a knife? Knives used as axes is like using scissors as lawn movers. Knives are mainly for fine work, like making feather sticks (but you can use a hatchet for that purpose as well). Normally you need both an axe and a knife. If you need to chose, take the axe. I would recommend a Wetterling axe.
Hey,
I don't completely agree with you. A lot of knives are indeed made for finer work but there are also a lot of knives these days which are built for these kind of tasks. The concept of a survival knife is in fact a knife that can replace things like an axe if need be. Many of these survival knives are actually not as good in the finer tasks as lets say a smaller carpenters knife. I also really enjoy splitting wood with my knives. It's very relaxing and even very practical if you need to split wood next to your fire bowl and you don't have the room to swing an axe. In my opinion a knife like this is even more easy than using an axe for dried small wooden blocks.
I own a gransfors small forest axe and a Hultsbruk classic felling axe. Love them both very much. I still need a wetterlings to complete the swedish axe collection haha.
I hope you understand. have a great day and stay sharp!
Geweldige video mannen!! :-) Bedankt voor de tijd en moeite die jullie hierin gestoken hebben. Top!! Thumbs up. ;-) Ik heb jullie kanaal net ontdekt dus ik ga nu de rest bekijken. Groeten, Jos
bedankt Jos!
Thanks very good
You had 412 likes before me and that's my Zip code!!!
Lol...
Sick knife and collection my Dutch brothers!!!
Great vid!
I have a ok collection but I doubt if I'll ever be able to try one of those knives.
I bought a F1. Awhile back and it was a fake so I still haven't even got to try a regular F1 😢
Cheers and ATB Mates!!!
+Bigfoot Bushcraft thanks mate! Sorry to hear that you got scammed. Hope you'll get to try the real thing!
Cheers!
You guys are very helpful.
Thank you for the great review. Your knowledge is help shape my next knife purchase decision.
Great to hear so. We if you ever have questions, dont hesitate to ask
Thank you, Micky and Martin.
Just ordered a s1pro and i would like a mirror finish as yours! Plz do a "How to" video! DBK rules!!!!
found it!
Thanks a lot mate! we really appreciate it! congrats on your great purchase!
I read a science paper on edge sharpness in swords (which I have an interest in) and apparently the actual thickness of the blade doesnt really have much to do with how sharp or how good at cutting a sword is - you would probably think that a thicker blade wouldnt cut aswell etc and I would think that too but actually it turns out that its all about the edge angle of the metal at a near microscopic level and practically speaking about how well it retains that edge. Overall blade thickness only really comes into it for things like slicing in food prep where a thicker blade (over 2mm say) would more likely split a vegetable than slice it... although... who cares right?
Many swords are significantly thicker than knives incidentally.
thanks a lot for the comment! The thickness of the blade and the point where the bevel starts are a factor in what the minimum angle of the apex will be. I think that should also translate to the cutting abilities. I agree on what you say though. These CoS blades seem to get a real thin apex. I think it also depends on the steel. One steel molecules might break off more easily than other stronger bonded steels on the out most microscopic apex.
I believe that thickness of a sword also helps to increase weight which is needed for penetration but you would know this best haha.
thanks!
hate youtubes new reply system - it says you replied twice but can only
see one sorry.
Yeah sword weight (and point of balance) are really important for making
sure the edge gets into the target. More so for cutting, less so for
thrusting and stabbing. Blade weight is important for parrying too, if
its a light sword you'll struggle to knock aside a heavier blade.
"The thickness of the blade and the point where the bevel starts are a
factor in what the minimum angle of the apex will be"
- so the studies etc that I've seen show that (damn, itd be a lot easier
if I could show you a diagram) the edge on what you would think are
quite thin and sharp looking blades often have - under a microscope -
really quite rounded edges (and I don't mean secondary bevels or
something - that is way too big a scale - we're talking molecular level
here) now they still actually do cut so when I say "rounded" I'm not
talking about a blunt edge or something, I'm basically talking about how
small a scale you can get to, zooming in on the edge under a
microscope, before the edge starts to look rounded... and the difference
can be unbelievable really, very sharp knives you can basically keep
zooming in on the tip and then zoom in again and you keep seeing that
edge - on a knife that seems blunt this edge disappears as soon as you
start using it (it collapses immediately upon contact basically) and on a
knife that seems sharp its all about its ability to retain that edge.
When I talk about edge retention again the scale is tiny, we're not
talking like over an afternoon we're talking like over a split second.
All I'm saying really is that way more emphasis is placed on the visible
macro geometry of a blade than it really deserves - the paper I read
made it clear that the primary factor is the micro geometry at the edge
and the overall thickness of the blade made almost no real difference.
For an example of this in swords - if you look at Katana and other similar japanese swords they're generally really thick blades when compared with most other swords and the edge geometry is really quite steep - they're not acute at all - but they're really really sharp - some of the sharpest swords around - because they hold their edge really well. That isn't entirely why they cut so well but it is a big part of it. A german medieval longsword in comparison is basically blunt - you can run your hand over the edge (despite their thinner blades and sharper visible edge angle) but they still cut quite well when swung with a lot of force.
Anyway, hope thats interesting!
thanks a lot for the explanation ! this sure is interesting to read for sure! thanks a lot for sharing I really appreciate it!
you're welcome.
I should also mention that - and I'm sure you know this really - that the thickness and macrogeometry of the blade is very important for other reasons like strength and weight and how good at splitting wood and making feather sticks it is etc but in particular its important to how you strop or re-sharpen the blade (and also how they sharpened it at the factory) - so for example a scandi ground blade or flat ground blade with no secondary bevel is significantly easier to strop and resharpen than a blade with a secondary bevel and the result of that is that your scandi or flat ground (like a lot of Bark River blades) seem to be much sharper knives. Typically on knives with secondary bevels (or micro bevels) you strop them all day and you've never actually touched the edge at all, you just polish the bevel line and it looks and feels like you've sharpened it but you havent.
Knife makers often put secondary bevels on what they feel to be low quality steel - which is most knives really - even some high end knives have secondary bevels on and the manufacturer does this because they think the steel chips or rolls easily - or more easily than on their better steel knives - and this makes the knifes edge last a little longer. The sad thing with this is that they're just ruining their knives really, they'd be better of without a secondary bevel, modern steel doesnt require microbevels, so when you pay all that extra money for a good steel quality actually what you're paying for is for a knife that doesnt have a micro-bevel - this is why Mora are so damn good, because they just leave off the microbevel and then they laminate cheap steel and it holds up. Even Bark River put microbevels on their high end super 3V steel blades, its crazy.
hotsteamypudding the blade thickness is important for edc tasks like cutting through an apple. When you have something with a 6mm thick spine like a Medford Praetorion you cannot slice the apple up. You need to split it apart.
For a sword or a bushcraft knife the thickness isn't important, because you swing the knife/sword most of the time.
When you want a good EDC Slicer get one with a thin blade
Cool editing. Very professional all round
thanks a lot mate!
Thanks for sharing this video.
You are very welcome!
Great knife and video. Thanks guys.
thanks a lot!
-stay sharp
I love fallkniven. Maybe you can make a review of the nl1 thor in the future. That's a sword-knife!
haha maybe sometime in the future who knows!
I watched a video the other day, where you had a bark River in a2, vs one in 3v, and supposedly after I think it was one or two getter sticks the blade wouldn't cut paper, and had a knick in it. I own several bark rivers in a2, Matterhorn, foxriver 2, and the gunny with full height grind. I've literally used each of these knives far more than you did in your video and after I got home I had zero Knicks, and could slice paper , slice paper in a circle .. hair shave sharp still. So, I don't know. you guys are alittle stuck on some of the super steel's which are great of course, but I know Mike stewart wouldn't put a knife out if he thought for a second after slight use it was completely dulled. Yea my 3v knives are retain the edge so much better but the way it was protrayed in that video of yours seemed more than over the top. a2 is solid tool steel you can count on to do pretty much anything and it's not going to dull after one use unless your cutting through a tire all day or something. So hop of Facebook and hit up the bark River group and you can chat with Mike stewart about his choice in steel's and his edge geometry or whatever the fuck.. a2 is decent stuff for the money.
+jcoopdo sadly we own more knives in a2 and this is the result we keep on getting for years. Our friend virtuovice has exactly the same problem. If you look at the steels and its metallurgie, you will see that this outcome is very logical.
Cheers mate!
my favourite knife and keep it up guys
Greetings from Spain, we are followers of your videos. We have a request to make, we would like very much, that when you can do a video test to a knife, specifically the EXTREME RATIO DOBERMAN 4, we will wait impatiently the video test, as some followers think it is as good or more than the FALLKNIVEN A1 PRO. Keep up the great videos, thank you.
I want my knife to look that great. How to you get the mirror polish that high on the grind? I just sharpened my Bark River Bravo 1.5 and it's super sharp but the mirror polish is only on the very edge.
Maybe another sharpening tutorial!???
Love the vids guys. Have a great new year!
you should do a mirror edge tutorial!
Looks like a keeper. I've been wanting to try out a Fallkniven for some time. Looks like it my be the next on my purchase list. Thanks
Just don't eat for a month and you'll have the money haha. it''s a big purchase but worth it in my opinion.
Dutch Bushcraft Knives lol Yeah, I've not checked the price yet, but I would love to try one. Right now I'm waiting on my custom Sigmora by Koster Knives from Sigma III school. I'm really looking forward to using it for bushcraft/camp tasks. My favorite has always been the High Q 2mm Mora. It's my first semi-custom knife, but the wait time has been horrible though. Keeps getting push back to sometime in October now. Grrrr......lol Thumbs up on the FS1 review!
Like every Time a nice review !
I hope you will do some day a review for a FKMD panabas.
that's a kind of small machete, I use the panabas for a lot of different jobs, splitting wood, cut a lot of Carpenter, and use it as a kitchen knife.
that was the biggest surprise ever, I own som very good kitchen knifes, but the panabas do a fantastic job, you are able to cut tomatoes in slices.
also for hard using, choop wood.......
I tread the panabas absolutely bad, but it take all the stress without a issue.
I hope you made a review of this unusual "knife".
your TH-cam channel is absolutely fantastic, extremely funny.
I enjoyed every single review.
so i hope you will go on with that and keep the style of your reviews.
very very thin slices (tomatoes)
Ok, guys, you sold me this knife!
Bought S1 Pro for €331 at lamnia.com.
It is a decent price.
Bought also the new CC4.
Might ask a knifesmith to make a handle for it, preferably from stabilized wood like curly birch.
The sheath locking mechanism can be fixed by heating and bending it.
I love this knife! One day it will be mine undoubtedly (:
Another awesome test, of an awesome knife. Thanks :)
thanks man!
You could buy a custom Malanika Bushcrafter in Cru-wear with a Burl handle for 3/4 of the price. I have no idea why Fällkniven prices their knives so high. There's no way that they cost so much to make that they wouldn't make a profit from selling them at 3/4 of the price. They probably just saw all the hype around their knives and thought that whatever they price them at, people would buy them. I bought a Fällkniven F1 (I no longer have it, i sold it which I now regret) in 2012, and it cost £100, £60 cheaper than the currently are. Kind of ridiculous.
But the waiting list is 18 months, sadly
Great video! How fast is the sharpening?... since is a stainless steel and not a carbon
Another great video, would love to see what the factory edge was like before you refined it
The factory edge was sharpened in quite a big angle, probably around 30+ degrees. It could easily featherstick and baton but I couldnt help myself giving it a mirror edge haha, I sharpened it to around 25 degrees for my personal likings.
+Dutch Bushcraft Knives cant say i disagree, with the mirror polish its a runway model haha
What we're the grits of your stones that you used? Thanks
when you look at the a1 and s1 pro you immediately get the impression that they are tougher then their predecessors but they actually aren´t...
What do you mean by that? The VG10 steel on the A1 and S1, provide little toughness and that's why their edges take damage (edge chiping) while the COS steel on the Pro models, doesn't chip even with the factory edge! The lateral toughness is also higher on the PRO models, because the blade is thicker. So? what do you mean by that?
@@greekveteran2715 you are correct about the vg10 steel being more prone to chipping but you are mistaken about the lateral damage and overall toughness in regards to the breaking point of the two knife models. You find a chart on their website that shows how the Classical A1 and S1 Models have a higher breaking point than the Pro Models making them the tougher blades. I was confused about it and reached out to Peter Hjortberger President of Fällkniven and he personally confirmed to me that this is indeed the case. This is in regards to the build of the Knife and not related to the VG10 Steel. Despite Cos being the tougher steel the Pro Versions break easier because of the way the different knives are build.
man that knife is a beast man o man
Hey my man, did you leather strop it? I can't seem to achieve a mirror edge for my knives :(
What the hell is up with the giant box? Its a friggin knife. You should check out Survivor Lillys review of this knife.
My god, it's beautiful with that mirror edge! :O Still waiting impatiently for the sharpening video ;) Keep up the great work, love it.
We made a sharpening video about two weeks ago! The key is just go to a very very high grit and sharpen consistently. Otherwise you can also use a dremel to polish up everything but the edge. Use fine compound!
Cheers man
Duh, I completely missed that! Thanks :)
Your channel is getting better day by day.
One question: ¿What do you think is the better sharpening sistem? ¿High quality water stones and strop?.
thanks a lot zerao! Water stones and strops is the best option in our opinion. It might be one of the hardest to learn but if you master it the possibilities are endless where as you are limited with complete systems like the edge pro etc.
Thanks!!!! Keep going with the channel, I love it!
Excellent analysis!
thanks a lot mate!
Do the Walther Survival Knife!
Love your guys channel. You guys are awesome"' keep em coming Brothas
thanks a lot Ryan!
An enjoyable video, thanks. I have the A1, S1 and F1 in vg10. Also, an F1 tan handle in COS steel but my knife is not as sharp as that one. I think I will try to get it sharper.
I subbed as well.
Take care
Anthony
Thanks man. Maybe you can try sharpening it in a lower angle, that will make it sharper.
See you around
That was a quick reply :)
Thanks
Nice video guys! The knife looks absolutely amazing. I think I'm in love
thanks a lot mate!
Yo you guys rock. keep up the good work!
Thanks for the video. I think this is a knife I really like. But can you really, really recommend it?
Greets Manuel
Definitely but that of course also depends on your needs in a knife
Great video's on the pro series! If you had to choose one to take with you on a trekking for building fires, process food etc, which one would you take?
Probably the S1, because it's so versatile. Where as the A1 or the F1 make it difficult either to beton or do fine jobs. The s1 is capable of doing both.
Stay sharp sir
You guys have been honest about their over price but why would u polish your edge before the review.?
