Fällkniven G1 "Garm" - e.t.a. 11/00

[James Mattis]

Sometime since the last time I checked, the Fällkniven G1 "Garm", a double-edged dirk or dagger designed for discrete carry, has progressed from the drawing boards to a prototype knife and a photo thereof. They're saying "November 2000," for a list price of 960.00 Swedish Krona, which converts to US$103.

Specifications from Fällkniven's site:
Total length: 7.5" (190 mm)
Blade length: 3.54" (90 mm)
Blade thickness: 0.18" (4,5 mm)
Steel: VG-10
Blade hardness: 59 HRC
Handle: Thermorun
Blade surface: Black teflon®
Sheath: Neck kydex®

Garm, in Norse mythology, was a hellhound. You could get past him by feeding him a special cake, but only if you had given charity to the poor back when you were alive.

Now who here would like to explain this little knife, with a sentence beginning, "But officer ...."

Looks like a much nicer version of the Gerber. Would there be any interest out there for a 4 1/2 inch version with the single edge, bayonet swedge that Gerber briefly produced? For those jurisdictions that outlaw double grinds.

But officer, double-edged blades are really handy. I use them to open the tape on boxes and cut the plastic ties holding them closed at the same time.

Fallkniven really is coming out with some great products. Their knives are quickly becoming some of my favorites. I cant wait to get the kitchen knives and the hunter, and now this! When does it stop?
