Fallkniven A1 Survival 18

I got this knife at Christmas 2013 from Heinnie of course. its now may 2014 and I have given this knife prolonged use to give you a true evaluation. firstly I have a lot of knives Esee, Tops, Bark River and other Fallknivens and I have used them all for hunting and bushcraft and general outdoor activities. if I could only have one knife to take to an extreme situation this is it. The term, a knife you can entrust your life with is all too often used, not with this lady. Big enough for heavy work, but not so big that you cant perform tasks requiring dexterity.. worth every penny

It is what it is. . . The best survival knife you can buy! 24hr service from HH.

First thing: order/delivery process was perfect. Ordered sun. late night, received tue. pm. Knife itself: perfect. Sharp for precise cutting, heavy for batoning an chopping. Simple construction, but maximum efficiency. Thanks

This thing is amazing. I went out and chopped up some firewood and despite it being only 6 and a bit inches it chopped really well. The wood was no more than wrist thick and I was letting the knife's weight do the work and it was pretty effortless. The Kraton rubber handle is aggressive though if you use a loose grip for the chopping (obviously lanyard essential) and it created a blister on my 1st finger quite quickly. Gripping hard cured it and so you'll need to wear gloves for chopping. Brilliant knife.

Outstanding knife, also bought leather sheaf . If you have any outdoor experience you won't be disappointed with this knife . Superb balance and cutting edge. Also superb service from Heinnie, only my second visit but never been so happy to be skint. I will return on payday.

Bought the A1 with the "left-hand" Zytel sheath. After use I wondered: why didn't I bought it earlier. Tried other brands before like Coldsteel and Buck but those aren't that suited for the job survival in my case as the A1.

Great service from Heinnie. Awesome knife. Managed to cut myself seconds after taking it out of the box. Too bad there is no left hand sheath for it. For that reason 4 stars.

They say it's one of the best knives in the world. I got it and tried it, and I'm enchanted. A1 seems to be the knife you can really trust.

The A1 makes a reasonable utility knife. Was given a fair bit of use for a few days. However a bit too light for chopping work. Handled everything from fine nylon, Paracord, and zip ties with ease. And the tip was fine enough to ream out some badly made nylon rope tensioners. Though attempting a bit of shrub clearance was not successful. Excellent weather proof blade and sheath combination. A fair way short of a ??One does all??.
