Fallkniven F1 Pro Elmax Survival Knife

Fallkniven F1 Pro Elmax Survival Knife F1proElmax

There are survival knives, and then there are real survival knives. Fallkniven's basic models F1, S1 and A1 are outstandingly durable and of high quality. The strive for continuous improvement has led to the new Pro series that takes the concept of survival knife to new heights.

A knife is a blade and a handle. But if this important tool is to be both strong and keep the sharpness well, you must use really advanced materials and have a long and deep experience when it comes to being able to make knives for tough tasks. If you also want to claim to call a knife “professional”, you take on a great responsibility towards the user. The Pro series can do that. F1pro/elmax differs from its predecessor (F1pro/CoS) in the following important details: The blade in laminated cobalt steel is replaced by a solid blade made of powder steel, Elmax SuperClean from Uddeholm, Sweden. It gives a blade that is 20% stronger and that keeps the sharpness significantly longer.

And compared to the first series of knives (F1, S1 and A1):

• The blades are consistently thicker, which gives an increased torsional rigidity – they can withstand even greater stresses than before
• The tapered tang is wider and thicker and thus much stronger
• The cross-guard is made of stainless steel and permanently mounted on the tang
• The convex edge has been refined for improved cutting properties
• The newly developed zytel sheaths are strong and easy to adapt to the MOLLE system

A professional survival knife should work in all weather. It should also be comfortable, safe and convenient to handle whether it is used for fine or rough work, in desert heat or polar cold. This survival knife is stylish and very useful.
