I already own and use a standard VG10 Fallkniven F1. I like that it is lightweight, compact and relatively carefree to use. Lately however, Fallkniven's COS has me pretty curious. I'm thinking of getting either a regular F1 COS or the F1 Pro which comes in COS. I think the Pro is beautiful to the eye as well as in execution, while still retaining all of the qualities I like about my standard F1. Getting the regular F1 in COS might seem to be a no brainer except that it is so much like the one I already have, it almost wouldn't feel as if I got something new/different. I'd appreciate some input, especially from folks who have tried or owned both. Any difference in price isn't a deciding factor for me. It's more about a significant advantage of one over the other.
Also; I've been toying with the idea of adding an S1 to my small grouping of knives. My F1, a mini hatchet and a few smaller knives I have cover most of my uses, so I don't have any regular need for the S1 other than food prep at home, and because I like it. Besides just kitchen work and simply admiring it, my main reason for owning an S1 would be as an option to keep on-hand should it ever be necessary to do a lightweight, one-tool bug out. I guess some of the same considerations apply here as they do to the F1.
Many thanks!
