This week I got a new WM1, with the new kydex sheath, and I'm very satisfied with it. Easy to carry, easy to take out of the sheath and put back.

The knife itself is the same good knife. Convex grind, rolled edge, 3.5 mm wide near the handle and tapering all the way towards the point, balance point about 30 mm in from the guard.
It's of course designed with small hands in mind, but that's not all of it, as then a scaled down "mini-F1" would have done the job (but not really being necessary, as the F1 itself is very suitable to different hand sizes, as is the WM1). To my mind, it's more sort of a smaller, modernized, knife of a slightly different kind than the A1/S1/F1, as shown by the different handle profile.

The kydex sheath holds the knife very securely, even without the strap. I'd trust it for upside down carry that way.
The belt loop is wide enough for wide belts.
Construction is very sturdy, without feeling heavy nor big.
Sometimes I like a leather dangler sheath better, for example with a backpack, but for the most part I think I prefer this style.
The kydex sheaths can be had separately: http://www.fallkniven.se/kydex.htm
