Fallkniven TK2

Undoubtedly the best knife you will ever own .

This has to be one of the finest quality, most simplistic yet elegant knives, I have ever owned. The steel is superb, I'm not a fan of stainless, but this is really something else. When people are all rattling on about how good fallkniven is, it's true. Now to its Achilles heel, the handle. It's mad of a very nice rubbery stuff with a nice textured finish, only snag is its just too small. Your index finger and your second finger get a lovely grip, but then the handle just tapers away to hardly anything at all, I just can't get a good grip on it at all. I've got large hands but this handle really is tiny. If you've got very small hands, this will be one of the best purchases you'll ever make

Absolute class, fantastic steel, extremely well made, fit & finish second to none, will last a life time.

Poor fitting Zytel sheath, parts bin from F1, zero blade retention that rattles against the blade, better to go with the leather option. Blade arrived dull and with grind marks. Handle to guard was poor match and required hand finishing. For a knife of this price I can only hope that the steel lives up to its legend. Usual excellent services from HH, they deliver.

ThisTk 2 was gifted to me in France and therefor in no way reflects the first class service of Heinne Haynes. For a knife in this price category, the Zytel sheath is an insult to any blade; it fails to retain the knife securely, looks like a cheap mass moulded chinese production item, rattles around the blade and is furnished with a riveted nylon belt loop that has no stitching and heat cut ends. The knife handle is poorly matched to the guard and the blade was delivered blunt with a rough matt finish. At this price Falkniven need to catch a grip.

Had for 5 years now - where does the time go? Camping in the Outback, Fishing, Sailing and Diving (yes I made a sheath from some RIB tube material and a plastic liner with velcro straps for the diving). Edge touches up with a few strokes of the ceramic side of their diamond and ceramic sharpener. Use it for slicing rather than chopping - that's what axes are for - and haven't found a general purpose blade to touch it, whether it's game or fish preparation or cutting withies to make a basket or cutting rope on the boat. It's replaced my Oceanic Knife which had been a companion for more than 20 years because it holds its edge better.....just have to remember to dry it and oil it when its been in the sea. Only complaint - the handle could do with being a little thicker, but then I have large hands! I also have an Idun and whilst it too is a wonderful knife, with its leather handle I daren't use it in and around the sea in the same way.

I have more knives than I care to think of but since I bought the TK2 it's the only knife that comes out into the field with me. The edge on this knife is simply superb. A few minutes stropping gets it sharper than any other knife in my collection and it retains that sharpness even after dressing 4 deer in succession. The handle is relatively small but enables dexterity and the grip is very good when your hands are wet and greasy. This is my first Fallkniven and probably my last as I can't see myself ever needing to buy another one unless its just to look at!

Classic Swedish hunting survival knife, razor edge, superb laminated powder steel in 3g, excellent service from Nick and the team and superb backup from Fallkniven should you need it, should last a lifetime.

I own four Fallkniven blades two folders and two fixed blades the TK2 and PXL are the two best knives I have ever owned. The TK2 is at home in field as well as the kitchen which means you get full use. The functional yet minimalist design of these knives makes them very attractive and highly use-able. Just touch the edge every now and again with a small leather strop to keep the blade edge razor sharp - fantastic blades from Sweden.
