Hi guys,
I'm about to pull the trigger on a Fällkniven Idun.
Does anyone own one? Opinions?
I've a FK A1 and what I most dislike is the handle, so I'd like to get an Idun and not the F1.

Please convince me not to buy it, I want it so much but my wallet doesn't!
Ok, that's almost impossible, so... by the way does anyone knows where to buy it cheap in Europe?
Thanks!
 
I have one . Its a Awesome knife. Sharpest thing i have ever bought.

No dont buy one. After all its a high quality , sexy bit of knife porn. Im sure you wont like the very nice stacked leather scales or the high class build.
 
Argh... I didn't care about the stacked leather knives until I got this one on my hands (and bought it, even knowing I wouldn't use it so much)


Well, I guess I'll have to buy it anyway...
 
Yeah, you don't want this beautiful thing. haha.... next you'll want one of its big brothers to go along with it!

I really do like mine. These knives get so incredibly sharp with such ease, I love it! The only small complaint I can think of is that the handles ( though beautiful ) can be a little slick when wet. Not quite as grippy as some of the rubber handled knives. :)
 
Idun is a great field knife. I traded one for a Busse something or other...wish I kept the Fallkniven. It fit my mitt and that laminated steel is just incredible for edge retention.
 
Damn it... now i want all of them, including the Damascus version of the Idun :D
Just got an email saying my Idun is on its way to me... oh yeah baby!

Sweet! You will like it!

I realy like the look of those damascus versions too, I wish they made a damascus Tor. :)

Ok, here's a video of a F1 with green linen micarta grips. The narrator mentions the guy that makes the handles and his website at about 2:05 into the video.

Thanks!
I know they have blanks and I could even order handles of my choice here in Portugal, or try to make my own. That would result in a price between the normal F1 and the Idun... but man, how could I resist that beauty?

Those are Celtic Ogham sticks. They are akin to the Norse Futhark runes but are different. Each rune represents a type of tree and is made from that tree. Each tree/rune represents something. The runes were also used in alphabetic form to spell words. Many people, myself included, use them as a divination device. Thanks for asking!
 
The Tor and Idun are both incredibly beautiful knives , would love to own them both but the cost factor is way outta line for me. Stuck with the S1 instead , one of the best knives I've used.

Cant say enough good things about Fallkniven.
