Hi every one
iam new to this
I am interested in a Eickhorn pohl 2 instead of the Fallkniven F1
its made of D-2 steel i think
any one have a opinion?

I own Eickhorn and Fallkniven A1 & A2. IMO Eickhorns look great, but the steel is mediocre and they are not cutters. If you intend to use the knife for anything from camping, survival training or self-defense, F1 every time. Great combo of steels, can get razor sharp, holds it edge and easy to sharpen.

Howdy 'Ol Bud & Welcome to Blade Forums - Wilderness & Survival Skills !
I don't know anything about the first knife you mentioned but the F1 is talked very highly of in these parts. For the money I would check out some of the fine custome makers here ( Stomper, Koyote, Mark Wohlwend, Sicily02...etc) They make some Sweet steel & are great people to deal with

Hi mate
you have made my history book as the first reply ever in any forum.
I am a forum virgin.

The seller of this knife recons they will cut tank armour
I want a knife to torture . Dont want to damage a custom job

 

[j man]

Really? it is made of D-2 Steel. not 440.

 

[coaldigger]

Why would you want to destroy a knife ? If you want a solid knife to beat on & not spend alot of money on get yourself a KA-BAR/BECKER BK2 :thumbup: 1/4" 1095steel, built like a tank ! & Unless this "SuperKnife" is a lightsaber then it's not gonna cut thru a Tank !

 

[j man]

there is a differance between use & abuse.
I dont mind spending money i just want a bloody tuff knife.
something custom made is a work of art.
Is 1/4 inch 1095 stronger than 1/4" D-2 steel?

Then, the F1 will serve you well. Go for it, you wont regret it.

 

[j man]

Thanks every one i will get both.
Just cheaked the web D-2 steel is one tuff son of a bitch grade steel.
Eickhorn could have a great knife there.
The reason i thinking of the Pohl 2 is that it is sized between the F-1 & S-1 Fallkniven.
Just about right i think ? For me any way
I give them both a good test .
I sleep on it just same

Welcome to Bladeforums!

Since this is about the knives themselves, I've moved it to the General Knife Discussion.

 

[j man]

Thanks . i think this is the forum for me too.
I love German Knifes

Merged an identical thread from the pass-around forum.
That's for knives we send from one person to another to try out.

 

[Esav Benyamin]

Please don't post the same question in multiple threads.
It makes it hard for you to keep track of the answers.
It's a nuisance for us to consolidate them.

 

[j man]

Just learning the ropes mate .
i new to this world.

 

[Esav Benyamin]

I knew that.
Take your time, read the FAQ, look around. I think you'll like it here.
