I'm sorry I forgot to add the "Card", when mentioning your channel. I could not find a way to add it after I uploaded the video. I will remember next time, as I have to kick your butts for the Yakut knife video you made :) In a good way.
As a kid growing up in the early eighties we all wanted the Rambo survival knife. We couldn't afford the good one so we all got the cheap ones made in Hong-Kong with the plastic compass and the worthless wire saw and accessories. Fortunately it wasn't terribly sharp so I still have all my fingers!
I know exactly what you are talking about! I had a couple of them back in the day, and shamefuly I currently own one today that I found at an estate sale about 20 years ago for $1.00, in the original box in mint condition! Pleather sheath, sharpening stone and all! I bought it just because. It sits in the safe with my Hibben Rambo knives. It's a reminder of days gone by...
@Feldgrau Fox, growing up in rural Northeast Ohio, I spent alot of time in the woods and camping. Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, joined the Army at 17. Moved to Florida after the Army, met my wife who also loved camping. For 15 years, we went to a local spring to camp with all of the nieces and nephews along with my children and friends. I always took one of my "Rambo" knives on every trip. One of my nephews spotted the crappy knife, and tried to get it from me for a long time! After a spinal injury curtailed my camping, the kids all still go to the same springs, the same two weekends every year. We created an institution! My nephew finaly gave up and has his own spectacular knife collection, including an 80s crappy knife he found on ebay...
Yep. I had that same crap. Tried to cut a small sapling down with it to start a fire, couldn't even cut it. I think it came with a couple of matches inside it and that wire saw, a fish hook and fishing line. Edit: forgot it also had the pleather sheath, and the wetstone that had its own carrier on the sheath.
And from an American who likes Vodka. The world is a melting pot as our cultures mix. But, which music should we listen to? Headsets for everybody with their own music playing? Global party is on. BYOB and BYOM.
I appreciate how your channel contains three things very important to me: Common sense, Experience, and Honesty. Thank you sir, and may you always go well.
I have a US Air Force Pilot's survival knife that I got as a Boy Scout in 1964. It's a Camillus made of blued 1095 with a stacked leather handle. Pretty much a classic Ka-Bar except for the serrated back. Not good for slicing (too thick) but pretty much can do everything else. I suspect it'll outlive my grandsons. Even the leather sheath is still in good shape, despite (or maybe because of?) an accidental weeks-long soak due to a broken can of motor oil.
A knife with a safety sheath...LOVE IT. Really useful when on a boat or with kids around. Sometimes it really scares me when I was running and my machete jumped out of its sheath.
I sold my F1 when I needed funds. I honestly thought it was a little short for my liking, but very well build. Recently bought a an S1. So far I really like it al lot, same quality better length.
Good review. I used an F1 in Cos to skin and process a whitetail, a goat, and just did my first elk with it last week. Minor sharpening and mostly stropping has kept it sharp.
Hey, I just saw your video. By now I’m sure you already found out, but in case you did not: When the sheath’s lock is opened, you have to push it (towards the open position) in order to pull out the knife reliably. You don’t have to shake or twist it out. Love your channel!
I wish I had come across your channel sooner but I’ve been watching your older videos. The scenery in your videos is beautiful, reminds me of my time in Alaska. I have always had a fascination with Russian people, architecture, life and language even though in my young years we were taught to fear Russia and Russians. If politics could stay out of the way people would see we are all the same. Love your videos, keep it up.
Look forward to more videos from miss survival Russia! Any more videos form the babushka coming up? A homestead update would be awesome too!! Would love to see more about the chickens you got? Any action from the bees at the hold log house location? Great videos once again!!

Looks like a crisp, quite beautiful autumn day.....my absolute favorite time of the year.... 🤠 Oh and that knife look good also.....the retention sheith is a outstanding feature.... simply OUTSTANDING.. Let's see a video of the new home for the ninjas. 😃 Best Wishes Lars!
I have the fallkniven A1. Best knife ever. On my very 1st outing with the knife, i cut my knuckle pretty deep with the knife weight coming down on it!! It is *EXTREMELY* sharp out of the box. I had it for about 4yrs now (no more accidents) and it is an absolute beast of a knife. Highly recommend
@Jerbert-qn4in Sure you do lol, you can bulk at the price they're expensive (not overpriced) just expensive. But no one that's owned a Fallkniven blade has ever thought they suck... the quality is unquestionable, even if that knife doesn't fit your usage and isn't the right tool for that job. Doesn't mean "they suck." It just means it wasn't right for you. I have some Fallkniven knives that I don't use either, I have a more suitable tool for that job. But even though I don't use that blade much, it doesn't mean it sucks. Or you had some cheap knock-off and judge the real thing by that cheap crap.
Men i have many knives most are not so expensive or just average price but this is my first “expensive” knife but i love it. Fallkniven is great quality and steel. The sheath is great but I prefer leather sheats i hope they will give that option in the future between plastic or leather.
Sheath! You're too awesome. My husband turned me on to your channel! He uses Gerber knives. And we use a variety of axes and mulls to split wood. But we have purchased product from Sweden. Its how we heat our home 3/4vof our winter! Much love to you and family from Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada! ❤🇨🇦❤
Coatings (ceramic/tungsten) give you the factory tool for the longest time, which is good and great if you don't use the tool a lot. For a camping knife that would be good for me since I do not use them too much. For a tool I use a lot like a tungsten coated drill, it gets dull and you sharpen it and you sharpen the steel under the coating. For drill I found the steel of a coated drill does not resharpen as well as drills without coating, I suspect it is because of the sharpening quality of the steels.
Lars, you're a Legend, - all truth, no bull - for me the most interesting part of this video, was the mention of your house build, Please share and update, maybe run a raffle so a lucky few can come visit and enjoy a beer at the camp!
Good Evening Lars .. A nice looking knife Unfortunately, as a Pensioner, beyond my Pay Grade. A good idea being able to buy Sheaths separately. One could then, if required, set up some configurations on various kits .. reducing the need to continually switch the one sheath around. Yep .. the Dutch 'Hooligans' 😁 .. they sure know how to beat the living XYZ out of a knife. Sometimes my toes curl 😱 at the abuse they dish out to the hapless blades. However, looking past their fooling around, some serious testing takes place on their channel 👍. 'Rubber Bullets'. One should reserve judgement and negative comment thereon until .. one has been on the receiving end of such item .. or .. at the very least, actually witnessed the effect they have when 'used in anger'. Take care ..
The convex grind of falkniven knives converted me to convex for life. It’s just a better grind than the V edge we use here in the states. Bark River Knives do some of the best convex grinds around if you’re interested.
I am sooooo jealous!! I wish my property backed up to some BLM land or some forest I could go hiking in.. Although I am to old and unsteady to hike far, but even just a half mile in where it is quiet and serene. A half mile would take me about 3 hours at my rate.. But still it would be well worth it.. I have carried a knife since I was 8 years old and my uncle told me that any man worth his salt has a knife it is the ultimate tool for many occasions.. The pocket knife I have now is a benchmade osborne design M390 steel. The blade is just over 3 1/2 inches (8.89 cm) and the handle is about 5 inches (12.7 cm). Straight blade no serrations (I am not a big fan of serrated knife blades).. It was a fathers day gift I guess it cost around the 200 -250 price range.. It is a real nice blade I have had this one for about 4 or 5 years now and like it a lot.. I do not think I would have spent that kind of money for a pocket knife for myself.. But this one stands up to the use and abuse and looks as if I just got it still.. and it keeps a good edge for me.. Well good luck on your new home.. I look forward to seeing the progress.. carry on, be safe and keep having fun!
Enjoying your channel, been watching for years now. Just looked for some merch, but can’t find any. A nice warm black hoody would be great, it’s getting chilly in Britain, thanks Lars ☀️
Lars, great seeing you do a knife review! It’s been a while since I’ve caught one of your vids! I realize I need more SR Vids in my life!!! I hope you and your family has been well! Big thumbs up from California!
I'm enjoying your channel and your love for the outdoors! I camp and fish in the Florida Everglades, the Big Cypress Preserve and the Gulf coast/Ten Thousand Islands area here in SW Florida. I've sighted panther on a few occasions, along with bobcat, seeing the big cat's eyes glow from the shine of a spotlight at the edge of the camp will get your hair standing on end! Alligators are everywhere, but for the most part they don't bother you, unless they want your fish! I'm in Naples FL, so, if you ever need to shrug off the cold and enjoy some sun and a quiet beach, I have an empty guest room! Thanks for the video's and take care!
Very sturdy knife, handy and suitable for any job in the woods.The knives that you present and use in your videos are certainly excellent and very good. Hello, good day👍
@james Gasper, I disagree, and I'll explain why. In my opinion the best Knife is one that keeps it's edge in the first place. A knife that will be ready to use when you need it. A knife that won't be a hindrance to carry. I usually touch up my knife blade in an evening once I've used my knife during the day and then the last thing that I usually do with my knife is produce some feather sticks to light my fire and a few more for the morning, just in case my fire goes out during the night. This proves to me how sharp my knife is and if I need to use my DMT cards or my ceramic stone. A knife is a tool, just like a saw and the idea of re-sharpening a saw in the bush is not practical.
I love Mora knives, By far the most comfortable and affordable knives I own and the most easy to sharpen (for me anywats). I also own a cudeman MT-5 which is also a great kife that comes with a great sheath that you can carry regurarly or as a cross sheath. If for some reason I think I need a full Tang knife and I won't mind the weight I'll take it over accouple of Moras. I love the Bushcraft and survival Moras BTW.
Will you share videos about building your house? If you already have made videos I'll have to go back through your videos to find it. UA-cam stopped giving me notifications of your new videos, but I got it fixed now. Always a pleasure to watch your vids, keep up the great work!
Nice to have you back doing videos.. use your thumb to press the sheet away on the open lock when you get the knife out, since thats the way it was designed for it will go even easier than your twisting technic yet less creative maybe :)
Great Vid Lars. I've been looking at these knives myself as i own a f1 Lam vg10 model and thinking of a upgrade. I also watch DBK and find it funnily knowledgeable and great entertainment, Peace out keep up the good work from The UK.
For me it would be, could you justify that one knife over four Kansbol's for the same price? Every video we see you with the Kansbol Lars, so it must be at least good enough for what you need. A bit like the Silky 1000. Nice to have one but do you need it.
Hi Lars, I own a couple of Fallkniven knives including the S1 forest knife (slightly bigger than the F1). They are great "survival" knives as they are very durable BUT they are not great at normal tasks in the forest or hunting, fishing IMHO. I much prefer the finer edge of a scandi grind and a thinner blade, its just better for cutting wood etc. The Benchmade Puukko is worth a look if you are bored with the Mora 😉 Best wishes Michael 🇨🇦
Though I don't own one, I don't like Falknniven! If I needed a really beefy knife for very tough tasks I would prefer my little Extrema Ratio Schrapnell (or a bigger model)! But, in normal situations, I just can't be without my russian 3 inch puuko made by an obscure blacksmith... that blade is magic... I feel that we were made for each other, how it feels in the hand, how it performs cutting... it's justa awesome! I don't say it's the best, just the best for me! Stay well Lars, and best wishes for the Winter.
In Mid-Atlantic USA, it is also FINE to be outside: dry, cool, comfortable; with sunshine and with some color change in the few species here that do change color!
I've read so many "well written comments, so I just can give 10× 💪for the "winter season" + 10x 👍 for your next projects ! And BTW my 3 knives from Yakutien / Sibiria are not "stainless" but they work well anytime, "carbon steel" needs more attention, but for me it's more "real" hand made! And I'm absolute fine with "hand made "leather cheese", SORRY SORRY!!! "leather sheath's. In the german language is the same situation when some people talking about a church "Kirche" but some times it sounds like "Kirsche" (the cherry fruit) 😂😂😂😂 😉 So don't worry, you're on the way!!! Best regards from Mongolia!
Very nice and strong knife, I've always admired the Fjalknivens but there prices are well expensive for a knife, even if I was a rich man I'd have to give it serious thought before a purchase. So your building a Dodecagon house then Lars, interesting.
If the Mora Garberg was the same thickness as this one (0.20") it would be the perfect bushcraft knife. And it costs about a third of the F1. And the Garberg is available in stainless or carbon. Just my opinion based on my needs.
Hello, Lars! Do you ever carry a means of communication with you when you are out in the forest? I guess by your location you are out of cell phone range, but what about a medium to long range radio?
Hi Lars beauty knife and for a person like you a necessity. Hypothetical question say you are parachuted out a plane in winter you can take a silky saw or a knife ......which would you pick?. Looking forward to your house video
The knife like most of theirs is too fat for any real work outdoors and in this case the WC coating is a gimmick and only serves to increase the manufacturing cost and hence the wholesale price and the retail price. No one can argue about the durability of the WC but the alloy makes it's mark in industry for solid cutting tools. Are we talking a coating of microns or millimetres? Or nano metres in thickness?? Many el cheapo kitchen knife manufacturers also coat with WC or TiN but all real chefs and pro cooks (LOL there is that word, Pro!) would consider them gimmicks. Just MHO Lars. But of course your videos are way cool! The exposed tang as u point out will freeze ungloved hands (one could lose their gloves)
Hi Lars, for me, the value for money (VFM,) concept has to kick in here, and great though this knife might be, it doesn't compare very well with several other equally great knife brands of the VFM index. In today's world, survival often comes down to VFM and of course, to basic requirements, and the current VFM usefulness of this knife is a bit like its affiliation with the Swedish Airforce, now that it doesn't have to be seen to have the potential to chew moth holes in an Iron Curtain.

I love Mora knives, By far the most comfortable and affordable knives I own and the most easy to sharpen (for me anywats). I also own a cudeman MT-5 which is also a great kife that comes with a great sheath that you can carry regurarly or as a cross sheath. If for some reason I think I need a full Tang knife and I won't mind the weight I'll take it over accouple of Moras. I love the Bushcraft and survival Moras BTW.
Fello Dutch Bushcraft watcher and new subscriber of yours! Well done! 👍🇨🇦🙏
Thanks and welcome :)
Appreciate the review! The forest is beautiful. Hopefully you were able to squeeze in some hunting this season as well.
I've been happy with Cold Steel knives. Favorite is XL Voyager tanto .
Another golden period. Few bugs and not mud slush yet :)
Always a joy to watch your videos
Love your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to keep them going.
Will you share videos about building your house? If you already have made videos I'll have to go back through your videos to find it. UA-cam stopped giving me notifications of your new videos, but I got it fixed now. Always a pleasure to watch your vids, keep up the great work!
G'day from Brisbane Australia 👋👋.. thanks for everything.. keep them coming
Nice to have you back doing videos.. use your thumb to press the sheet away on the open lock when you get the knife out, since thats the way it was designed for it will go even easier than your twisting technic yet less creative maybe :)
Lars , Great knife review , I hope this finds you well my friend , thanks for sharing , stay safe , God bless !
Great Vid Lars. I've been looking at these knives myself as i own a f1 Lam vg10 model and thinking of a upgrade. I also watch DBK and find it funnily knowledgeable and great entertainment, Peace out keep up the good work from The UK.
This is where I come for real advice on knives and other survival gear!
Thank you :)
Hahaha! Same thermos i use daily.. :) Yep, love my thermos so much, bought a second one. Always prepared. Very kewl Lars. Keep being awesome!
For me it would be, could you justify that one knife over four Kansbol's for the same price?
Every video we see you with the Kansbol Lars, so it must be at least good enough for what you need.
A bit like the Silky 1000. Nice to have one but do you need it.
Hi Lars, I own a couple of Fallkniven knives including the S1 forest knife (slightly bigger than the F1). They are great "survival" knives as they are very durable BUT they are not great at normal tasks in the forest or hunting, fishing IMHO. I much prefer the finer edge of a scandi grind and a thinner blade, its just better for cutting wood etc. The Benchmade Puukko is worth a look if you are bored with the Mora 😉 Best wishes Michael 🇨🇦
squad leader in 3V is by far my fav go to for the woods , strong AF and best edge retention
My goodness! Autumn is over and Winter is right around the corner!
Though I don't own one, I don't like Falknniven!
If I needed a really beefy knife for very tough tasks I would prefer my little Extrema Ratio Schrapnell (or a bigger model)!
But, in normal situations, I just can't be without my russian 3 inch puuko made by an obscure blacksmith... that blade is magic... I feel that we were made for each other, how it feels in the hand, how it performs cutting... it's justa awesome! I don't say it's the best, just the best for me!
Stay well Lars, and best wishes for the Winter.
DBK my second favorite channel😉
A very nice review. Take care, I check in again.
Yes. Yes. Lets see the foundation work and how you traditionally deal with ground water.
Just found your merch, I’m a muppet for not looking properly. Thanks Lars ☀️
Quiet autumn day, the best. 😊
Good to know all is well.
In Mid-Atlantic USA, it is also FINE to be outside: dry, cool, comfortable; with sunshine and with some color change in the few species here that do change color!
can you show us how you strap your knife across your chest it looks awsome way to carry your knife
I've read so many "well written comments, so I just can give 10× 💪for the "winter season" + 10x 👍 for your next projects !
And BTW my 3 knives from Yakutien / Sibiria are not "stainless" but they work well anytime, "carbon steel" needs more attention,
but for me it's more "real" hand made! And I'm absolute fine with "hand made "leather cheese", SORRY SORRY!!! "leather sheath's.
In the german language is the same situation when some people talking about a church "Kirche" but some times it sounds
like "Kirsche" (the cherry fruit) 😂😂😂😂 😉
So don't worry, you're on the way!!!
Best regards from Mongolia!
I carry Bahco Laplander but I still baton all the time. Best way to make kindling.
Hello from Detroit Michigan USA 👋👋👋
Great video Lars. Keep up the good work!
Nice knife, I'll have to check it out. Safe journeys.
Thanks Lars, from the northeast 🇺🇸.
Looks like a pretty nice Knife Lars. TAKE CARE..
The Cold Steel SRK with the San Mai III steel is the best knife you have there, also the sharpest you've ever seen
Very nice and strong knife, I've always admired the Fjalknivens but there prices are well expensive for a knife, even if I was a rich man I'd have to give it serious thought before a purchase. So your building a Dodecagon house then Lars, interesting.
Love the knife and sheath. Cracking.
The chai! Ihr Joggen! Blabla. THX Lars, modstanderen.
Thank you ,Lars .
Thank you too!
If the Mora Garberg was the same thickness as this one (0.20") it would be the perfect bushcraft knife. And it costs about a third of the F1. And the Garberg is available in stainless or carbon. Just my opinion based on my needs.
Love watching your time 🇬🇧👍
Cool video again thanks Larz...could you show the shoulder strap set up for the shieth please...or have you already ? thanks :-)
I carry a USN mod 0 when camping. for 90$ they are hard to beat. I keep an old 2 blade Barlow in my pocket for everyday use .
Love this review! I'm buying this knife. :)
Good knife. I carry it everyday.
House videos would be great.
Hello, Lars! Do you ever carry a means of communication with you when you are out in the forest? I guess by your location you are out of cell phone range, but what about a medium to long range radio?
Russian Survival batoning is like carving. The DBG need a hammer, you just a knife! Awesome 😂
Just ordered one great video
Good choice!
I would like to see you get a water source/ well at the camp that would be cool.
Looks like a nice day to hunt grouse or moose ,nice knife
You looked at the Terava Jaakaripuuko from Varusteleka? If so what do you think of it?
Hi Lars beauty knife and for a person like you a necessity. Hypothetical question say you are parachuted out a plane in winter you can take a silky saw or a knife ......which would you pick?. Looking forward to your house video
I’d love to see another video after you’ve used it and maybe sharpened it
The knife like most of theirs is too fat for any real work outdoors and in this case the WC coating is a gimmick and only serves to increase the manufacturing cost and hence the wholesale price and the retail price. No one can argue about the durability of the WC but the alloy makes it's mark in industry for solid cutting tools. Are we talking a coating of microns or millimetres? Or nano metres in thickness?? Many el cheapo kitchen knife manufacturers also coat with WC or TiN but all real chefs and pro cooks (LOL there is that word, Pro!) would consider them gimmicks. Just MHO Lars. But of course your videos are way cool! The exposed tang as u point out will freeze ungloved hands (one could lose their gloves)
Hi Lars, for me, the value for money (VFM,) concept has to kick in here, and great though this knife might be, it doesn't compare very well with several other equally great knife brands of the VFM index. In today's world, survival often comes down to VFM and of course, to basic requirements, and the current VFM usefulness of this knife is a bit like its affiliation with the Swedish Airforce, now that it doesn't have to be seen to have the potential to chew moth holes in an Iron Curtain.
