Fällkniven AB marks its 40th anniversary in the international knife market by releasing a special edition of their bestselling F1 Pilot Survival Knife, now crafted with an exclusive, high-class Swedish powder steel, Elmax. This exceptional knife's story began in 1987 when the Swedish Air Force commissioned us to create a survival knife that could meet the advanced technical demands of the JAS 39 Gripen system.

In August 1995, Fallkniven delivered the first batch of several thousand F1 knives to the Swedish Armed Forces, and by the following year, they introduced them to the civilian market. The response was phenomenal. For the first time, a genuine survival knife—devoid of fishing hooks, compasses, and serrated blade spines—featuring a blade made from advanced, rust-resistant special steel, was available globally. This marked a stark departure from the outdated technologies that had dominated the development of survival knives since World War II. Fallkniven chose to invest in high-quality steels that were not only stronger and maintained sharpness longer but were also more costly and challenging to process. Furthermore, they designed the handle to ensure safety and comfort, even in cold climates.

The F1 model has set the standard for modern survival knives. Leveraging their extensive experience in some of the world’s harshest Arctic climates, they continue to innovate in knife design. Rest assured, a knife from Fällkniven AB is not only built to be future-proof but, with a bit of care and common sense, it will last a lifetime. Choosing one of Fallkniven's knives is also a way to conserve the earth’s finite resources.

    Great upgrade

    Posted by Adam Peters on 15th Oct 2024

    I do love an F1. Have used and abused them for years. And the steal upgrade in this edition is fantastic! And fairly priced too considering they chuck in the stone too. Looking forward to trying it on the fallow this season. Next purchase the TK2!!!
