Fällkniven A1bz

A new world standard was set with the Fallkniven A1 through attention to important details including technical design, ergonomics and economy. The Fallkniven A1 surpasses international standards for strength, personal security capabilities, and value for money.

The Fallkniven A1 is an all-purpose knife on the larger side designed for heavy duty use. The powerful blade is made of extremely hard and tough laminated VG10 steel, and will withstand the stress of hard use. The knife is superb at chopping as well finer daily cutting tasks thanks to the ergonomic grip. The full tang goes entirely through the handle so you can strike with the end of it without breaking the grip. The sturdy black leather sheath allows you to fasten the knife on your belt or your pack, and even upside down. The Fallkniven A1 is unaffected by water and works equally well in extreme cold and stifling heat. Choose between a Zytel sheath or a black dangler type leather sheath with a rotatable strap.

Choose a sheath: Zytel or leather
The new Zytel sheath with the two-way locking mechanism offers a simple, safe and strong combination of qualities that every user will appreciate. The one hand operated Zytel sheath is also easy to keep clean. There is also left-handed version available, both leather (ambidextrous) and Zytel (Left handed). These are sold separately. See links below.

A1 black coating
If your needs require that no reflections come from your knife blade, we offer a black CeraKote option. The CeraKote is a tough surface coating that will also protect the blade from corrosion. CeraKote is a hard coating made of Teflon and ceramics that we apply for military users and others who want to avoid shiny blades. Be aware, however, that although CeraKote is an industry standard, it is also just a finish applied to the metal blade similar to painting a car and it will gradually wear off when put to use. Please note that physical abrasions could scratch through the CeraKote coating. Over time, the black CeraKote may separate from the blade, but more durable coatings make the knife difficult to sharpen and cost up to 100 times more than CeraKote.

Attaching a black surface on a rust resistant, perfectly smooth blade so that it sticks for time and eternity is all impossible. We have tested some extremely hard coatings, but they proved to be many times more expensive and make it harder to sharpen the knife.
