You have good arguments, and I agree. Only, I think comfort in the handle isn't really about "No effort", just a comfortable handle, it either is or not. I have used this knife in the cold when gloves are indeed needed, still didn't find it comfortable. And purely the knife wouldn't decide if one survives elements or they don't, some people can survive with a mora classic 1/0, it's more about knowlage in my opinion. Sharp spine for me serves multiple purposes, not only fire steel scraping, but wood scraping etc, I just prefere it that way, and a fero rod with a striker dangling with it, never found it comfortable, but that's each other's preference. This video is targeted to audience who want to buy this knife for bushcraft, and these opinions of mine are for bushcraft. But you have good points, thank you for the thought out comment.

I 100% agree, so much potential in this knife for survival, but just this one aspect ruins it. After some time tho, I now like thinner blades for bushcraft, try them out😁

@@AmberBushcraft ironically, the original F1 with the flat convex and “skinner” profile tends to be better for all around bushcraft use. No wonder that was the pilots knife for the Swedish Air Force. Not sure overall but to bounce off one of Cedrick’s comments some of this might have been an appeal to the American audience of which I am guilty as charged. I own both original F1 AND S1 as well as both Xs. There was also that survival Lily video where she snapped the top off an original S1. Perhaps the “steroid injection” was a possible response to both factors but I only speculate. I definitely agree with you that the Xs are without a doubt survival category with the originals maybe skirting the edge of bushcraft.

Oh yeah , I’ve used both Xs for fire starting with a spark rod but have always stacked the deck with very super fine tinder WITH the feather sticks. I had the S1x on a deserted island survival training in Panama last year and used crumpled up decayed coconut leafs mixed with coconut fiber from the husk. No problem. But you are right just trying to throw sparks at feather sticks not always grantee of result

@christopherdiggles6533 After buying a proper knife for bushcraft, I steered away from fallknivens. And yes, the spine isn't good for scraping fire steel. I'm making my own knife right now, and that one will have a sharp really sharp spine.

Well let me know if you ever start doing S1x handle scales and you will have a customer

Its a steel chisel, apart from regular chisels, this one doesnt have that sharp of an edge, and its is stronger. Gotta work the steel for a while, but for a safe fit its necessary!

In all seriousnes, I already have relatively small hands😄

@@AmberBushcraft *You're making a mess 🙂 A knife is not an axe and the handle has enough room for 4 fingers. I checked.*

@@user-ww4od4jl1f well, we each have a right to our opinion, I like bigger handles, end of the story.

@@AmberBushcraft *buy yourself a shovel. Now is the end of the story.*

Thank you! Leather work is tricky in the begining😁

Exacly, and if you do hit a sand particle, or anything like that, no matter the steel its gonna chip or damage, in this case id rather have a non super steel, for ease of sharpening😁 thats the reason why im soon gonna make a knife out of AEB-L love the stuff!

Thank you!

I do custom work and rehandling work. But i did sell this one some time ago to fund other projects, you know how it goes!

@@AmberBushcraft how did the S1x fair out in your opinion with a handle mod?

@@blackhawkbushcraft i didnt change the handle, but im sure it would be a worlds of a diffrence!

I appreciate it mate!😁

Im glad you enjoyed!

I do offer knife handle change! If thats of interest for your a1xb. Thanks!

💪🔥

Thank you!

Thank you mate!

I havent tried one up until i made this. The balance and feel in the hand is something new to me, and i like it!

@AmberBushcraft Puukkos are awesome 👌 I'm in the middle of making one myself, I'll post a video of it when I finish

@@Rcknives i will check that video out!

@@AmberBushcraft Thanks

Thats why i wanted a knife out of it! And so far as iv used it, i like it! I have 2 knives in 3v, also some good stuff! I had a scandi in magnca-cut, absolutely hated it. How is Nitro-v compared to AEB-L in your experience?

@@AmberBushcraft Nitro-V is AEB-L with a little Nitrogen and a little Vanadium (the name Nitro-V). It looses a hair of its toughness but gains a similar amount of edge retention. In practice you probably won't notice the difference.

@@johnsmithfakename8422 perharps ill try it some time in the future. I recon that one is better for fishing and such because of the added edge retention.

@@AmberBushcraft When it comes to outside use knife steels my prerequisites are a bit interesting, but they make sense for me. Yes I spent too much time reading into it. Carbon - 0.6%-1.0% Chromium - 7.0%-13.5% The Carbon at that percentage because 0.8% carbon is what I consider the sweet spot for knife use. It results in a tough steel that can hold a good enough edge. The Chromium is because Chromium can make a steel brittle, while at the same time increasing the steel's rust resistance. At around 10% steel is functionally a stainless steel, between 7.5% and around 10% steel can rust but the rust should not penetrate deep. What makes a steel, a stainless steel is a bit complicated because it is "Free Chromium," this is why the rule of thumb is (if memory serves me correctly) 13% chromium makes a steel stainless. Magnacut is a stainless steel and it only has 10.5% chromium, it does this because of both the chemical composition and production method has all the chromium free.

@@johnsmithfakename8422 i like the science behind steels and such, although not the moat important aspect, it sure is interesting! You have done some reasearch. More than me!

Thank you! There is a reason, even my mora knives get used more! I recommend trying the mora kniv classic line.

​@@AmberBushcraft The sharp bits that are uncomfortable stand out from the plastic. I used a belt sander to make those pointy bits round (important to plan the degree of round bevor /what will be comfortable for oneself) and the edge of the steel there i rounded too. That made it my absolute favorite knive in the whole world :D

@@cheezymoser allthough i love modifying and making things my self, i think for that price, the knife should be atleast in no need of modification. Fit and finish type of deal! But dont you find the handle too slim? Even after sanding?

Thanks man🔥 How is the handle on that one? Iv always wondered if its better, cause I can't stand this one, as I said I'll make a new handle in a separate video, hopefully in May.

@@AmberBushcraft the handle is a bit small and thin but it’s ok for my XL hands. And the handle doesnt hurt my hands even without gloves

Appreciate it mate! I hope it was helpfull and/or entertaining 😁

@@AmberBushcraft it was both! I’m from the states and there’s nowhere anywhere near me where I can get a Fallkniven in my hands to see if it feels right for what I’m looking for. And I’m not willing to spend Fallkniven money just to find out 😂 so this was very helpful!

@ape-xfitness5785 Late response here, just got back from Easter overnighter. Maybe I can suggest you a knife? Depends what you are looking for ofcourse!

The price diffrence is huge, but for the tests I did, the axe won😁. But yeah I have a plan on buying a more expensive axe cause I enjoyed using it. Thinking a hultafors premium hunters axe would be nice and more suited for bushcraft.

It ignored me after😁
