SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Fallkniven F1 Pilot Survival Knife is a world-class fixed blade trusted by military pilots, survival experts, and outdoor professionals around the globe. Developed in Sweden to meet the demanding needs of the Swedish Air Force, the F1 blends compact versatility with uncompromising durability. This knife is engineered for survival in the harshest environments, offering precision, strength, and reliability in a compact, easy-to-carry package.
The F1’s 3.625-inch drop point blade is crafted from premium laminated CoS (Cobalt Special) steel, a high-performance alloy known for its superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. This advanced steel provides excellent cutting power while maintaining long-term durability—even under rugged field conditions. The satin finish adds a sleek, low-reflective look and minimizes friction during slicing, while the .15-inch blade thickness delivers the right balance between strength and slicing finesse. Whether you're feather-sticking wood, skinning game, or preparing food in the wild, the F1 is up to the task.
Built with a full tang construction, the F1 provides exceptional strength and structural integrity. The full tang design ensures the blade and handle are one continuous piece, offering superior durability for high-impact tasks like batoning, prying, or striking. The black Thermorun handle is molded around the tang for a secure, no-slip grip. Thermorun is a high-performance polymer known for its excellent shock absorption and wet-grip properties, ensuring control and comfort even in freezing or rainy conditions.
With an overall length of 8.375 inches and a lightweight profile of just 5.2 ounces, the Fallkniven F1 is perfectly sized for everyday carry in the field without weighing you down. The knife also features a convenient lanyard hole for easy attachment to packs or gear, making it even more versatile for survivalists and adventurers on the move.
The F1 comes with a sleek black leather sheath designed for secure belt carry. Rugged yet refined, the leather sheath adds a classic touch while offering excellent retention and durability. The belt loop allows for vertical carry, ensuring your knife is always within reach when you need it most. Whether you’re deep in the woods or in a tactical scenario, the F1 is designed to be a reliable partner in any situation.
Proudly made in Sweden, the Fallkniven F1 reflects the brand’s commitment to precision craftsmanship and real-world performance. It’s a go-to choice for those who demand a survival knife that doesn’t compromise on quality, safety, or function.
