+Big Brown yeah! I am very happy and stoked about the a1 pro. This will be my workhorse for around the camp. I LOVE splitting wood with knives. It is a sort of meditation almost. This a1 pro is like a splitting maul under the knives haha. The Cos steel is the best fallkniven steel for this knife as it takes a very Sharp edge even in this large geometry. Take care mate!

Dutch Bushcraft Knives Agreed, I wish ya lived closer. It's would be a blast to hang out and deforest an area with these awesome blades! Haha!

@Weird Science alright, what's your opinion on the best knife then?

@Weird Science I guess overall, Jack of all trades master of none sort of deal. Just looking to find a high quality knife that I can trust, so you have any opinions on any?

@UCJjSqd8rQfqXnLLoElsXKDA defense and heavy duty work with compromise on general purpose tasks ideally. Thanks for your Input, I looked those knives up and they look great! Actually want to get the randall Buxton fighter after seeing it, but unfortunately its out if stock, or selling for nearly 1k usd which is well over 1k in Canadian on Ebay, not that rich lol. I just bought the tops operater 7, which looks amazing and from what I seen, performs fairly well, and it wasn't too expensive, and now I have some money left over for a smaller knife for the finer tasks, and maybe a custom sheathe. That's cool that you help hjortberger with the design and that, you seem well informed with knives, I'm 20 so as you said before, I dont really have any wisdom in it at all. So i really appreciate your input and wisdom, thank you.

+BirdShot IV thanks mate! even more incredible is that it still has a very sharp edge with this immense thickness.

+Dutch Bushcraft Knives Sharpness is OK for cutting paper, but how it bites wood? That is different story, I believe.

I made some feathersticks with the knife. Not much other things yet but the feathersticks fellt very easy and comfortable.

+Mr Onion thanks mate!

+99 problems but a fish ain't one thanks a lot mate!

+NorwegianWoods Thanks! I think I will love this A1 pro very much!

thanks a lot Dave. I might put it in one of my videos in the future but I don't know if it'll fit our current video style.

+49Giants thanks a lot!

+Jörgen Sandström Well I might be sharpenin another a1 pro soon so I might film it!

the regular A1 is a beast. the price to performance ration on the regular A1 is much better. I do love the A1 pro more but hey... that should be the case for twice the price.

It should have been fixed. The now fix the guard to the tang

+Christiaan dc (cdc68) My fallkniven is also going back. Hope it's just a batch. had my hands on a S1 pro today and it didn't have any problems. That Fox really looks like a beast!

+Сергей Курушин you are very welcome!

In a one knife scenario I would go for the S1 pro. It reminds me of my aurora knife and the size is very usable in all scenario's. Maybe you can find a store where you can hold the knife. Knife handles are like shoes, even if they fit they might not be comfortable for you while it may be very comfortable for another.

+Franko Bolero The regular a1 is absolutely a wonderful knife and it will last you a life time. The pro version is more for the enthusiasts.

+Christiaan dc (cdc68) Thank you for your comment. I will check the other A1 pro and contact fallkniven as well. Maybe even make a video. It shouldn't have play on a knife this expensive. However, I don't think it would form a problem in hard use. Let me know what fallkniven has to say about it. Best regards, DBK

Hey, I think there was a problem with the batch. Mine had the same issue with the fingerguard. Fallkniven replaced mine and now it's fine. thanks!

+Christiaan dc (cdc68) Thanks for letting me know! I got mine from knivesandtools as well and I don't have any worries about knivesandtools nor fallknivens customer service.

the A2 is too large for us so we never tried it.

+Christiaan dc (cdc68) It is very possible this is a problem with the whole batch or even all a1 pro's currently in production. I'm sending you a private message with a vid. *whoops I see i can't send you a private message. Do you have an email adress?

+Dutch Bushcraft Knives decoenec68@zeelandnet.nl, met vriendelijke groeten terug, en bedankt alvast

mmm, never actually looked at the point specifically. The point is not the sharpest out there but It should be good enough to easily pierce skin or make holes in wood. I have no issues with it anyway.

No sadly not, not in the nearest.. You'll need to go to at least a high quality 5000 stone and use compound up to 12.000 grit after.

I still believe there is. The A1 in Vg-10 was my favourite knife for a long time. The laminated Vg-10 has a very good price and is very well balanced. It might not be as good as CoS but costs a lot less and the regular A1 still makes an incredible survival knife.

+malthus101 nope they are too much a like. We have a video discussing them both. Search for : why fallkniven knives
