SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Fallkniven A1 Survival Knife Black is a premier fixed blade built for extreme conditions, trusted by survivalists, outdoor adventurers, and military professionals worldwide. Designed in Sweden and engineered for rugged reliability, the A1 delivers outstanding performance in demanding environments—from dense forests to tactical missions. With premium materials, a battle-ready profile, and refined ergonomics, this knife is the ultimate blend of Scandinavian precision and real-world functionality.
At the heart of the Fallkniven A1 is a 6.3-inch clip point blade made from VG-10 stainless steel—a high-end, Japanese-made steel renowned for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. This means the A1 can take on batoning, chopping, slicing, and piercing tasks without losing its razor-sharp edge. The black coated finish adds an extra layer of protection against the elements and reduces glare for tactical use. At .24 inches thick, this blade is robust enough for heavy-duty tasks while maintaining precision and control.
The knife’s full tang construction extends strength through the entire 11-inch build, ensuring maximum stability and resilience under pressure. Whether you’re splitting firewood or preparing game, the full tang backbone gives you confidence in any survival situation. Complementing the blade is a textured black Kraton handle that provides a firm, slip-resistant grip—even in wet or cold conditions. Ergonomically shaped to fit the hand naturally, the Kraton handle absorbs shock and minimizes hand fatigue during prolonged use, making it ideal for serious backcountry work.
Weighing 12 ounces, the A1 is lightweight enough for carry, yet substantial enough for hard use. A lanyard hole at the end of the handle offers secure carry options for tactical or wilderness applications. The knife also includes a black Zytel sheath with a belt loop—designed for durability, low maintenance, and quick access. The sheath securely holds the knife in place, making it easy to carry on your belt or pack while on the move.
Made in Sweden, the Fallkniven A1 embodies a legacy of quality knife making. Its minimalist Scandinavian design is matched by a no-compromise build that’s ready for real-world survival. Whether you’re navigating harsh terrain, camping off-grid, or building out your bug-out bag, the A1 is the kind of knife you can stake your life on.
