Fallkniven F1 Elmax 40th Aniversary Set, Elmax, Zytel Sheath and DC4 Sharpener
Australia's Knife Specialists | Knowledgeable Advice, No Hassle Customer Service & the Best After Sales Support
In March 2024 Fällkniven AB celebrates 40 years on the international knife market and honour this by releasing a special version of their bestseller F1 Pilot Survival Knife featuring Elmax blade steel, an exclusive Swedish powder steel of the highest class. The story behind this sensational knife began when the Swedish Air Force in 1987 asked Fallkniven to develop a new survival knife, a knife that would better match the technical environment that the JAS 39 Griffin system stood for.
In August 1995, the first delivery of several thousands of F1 knives was made to the Swedish Armed Forces and the following year, sales started on the civilian market. The success was formidable – for the first time there was a serious survival knife available on the world market without fishing hooks, compass and serrated blade spine and upon that, also with a blade in a very advanced rust-resistant special steel. The philosophy that they introduced around advanced survival knives was really in strong contrast to the old technology that had guided the development of combat and survival knives since World War II. Instead of cheap standard steels, Fallkniven invested in high quality steels that were both stronger and stayed sharp much better, but were also more expensive and more difficult to process, and ensured the handle was safe and comfortable even in cold climates.
Model F1 has formed the school of modern survival knives and that knowledge, in combination with long experience of living in the harshest possible climates at the Arctic Circle, is something that Fallkniven take advantage of when developing their knives. Be assured that a knife from Fällkniven is not only future-proof, with a little thought and common sense it will last a lifetime. This anniversary model is gift boxed, and supplied with Zytel sheath and a DC4 sharpening stone (Product FK-DC4, here).
