Great review of the H1. Your comments about it are spot on! I have had and sold several Falkniven knives. They are very good knives but there was something about each one that bugged me. I came over here because Scab mentioned you in a video about the trysick challenge.
Scab is one cool dude! 👍 Fallkniven has always been a love/hate with me. Good knives, but not great IMO. Always something that just gets under my skin that I don’t like. Yet, I still continue to do this to myself and buy them in hopes that I will feel differently with the next one, haha! 😂 Maybe this H1 will seal the deal. If not, I think it’s time to just walk away from Fallkniven and root them out of being part of my knife addiction. 😂 BTW, you do great knife work, brother! Awesome talent! 👍
You have to remember the knives and sheaths are made for the artctic. Kydex becomes brittle and can break when it's very cold. The zytel sheath doesn't and it does leave some room between sheath and blade so it doesn't freeze solid into the sheath. The H1 has a great handle for prolongued use and that's what you do in bushcraft and hunting. The F1 is a typical 'just in case you need it' (aka survival) knife with a bit slimmer profile. I think the new 'Scout' in elmax fits that bill even better. I do love elmax steel. But everybody is entitled to their opinion.
Thanks for the comment. You bring up a great point about zytel being much more durable in cold weather. Yes, Elmax is great stuff and one of my favorite steels.

Phreaps out of date. But if you still want a new handle for your s1x (and a new sheath) i could make it! Let me know!
Not sure why it is too thick.. for skinning no, perhaps more for prying or splitting, i guess.
Insanely beautiful backpack ❤
Hey, thank you, sir. I’ve enjoyed it.

Take a sharpening stone and do the job. Cut off that blade edge. You'll love the knife!
Aaannnddd one more for the algorithm. 🙂
Yeah, Fallkniven needs to do better with their sheaths, 100%!
For sure! I mean, they work, but come on! 😂
