Origins of the Fallkniven F1 3G Series
Originally designed to meet the demands of Swedish Air Force fighter pilots, the Fallkniven F1 series quickly gained popularity among outdoor enthusiasts. Its development was focused on creating an all-purpose outdoor knife with versatility for both precision tasks and heavy-duty use.
This combination of functionality and durability has made the F1 series a go-to choice for bushcraft enthusiasts, and anyone needing a reliable outdoor knife. The result of the extensive field tests, carried out both on hot summer days and ice-cold winter nights, was an advanced, well-designed and safe knife, where strength and design go hand-in hand.
The Convex Grind
Many Fällkniven fixed knives, including the Fallkniven F1 3G series, have a convex grind. The rounded edge shape improves strength over a flat grind and is especially suited for tasks requiring toughness and edge retention.
Although the convex grind might appear challenging to sharpen, it can actually be maintained effectively with the right technique, such as using a leather strop or specialised sharpening tools designed for convex edges.
The fact that it is highly popular, even on the civilian market, is of course testimony to its incredible versatility.
