Just rec'd my Fallkniven F-1 in the mail, and while this is not a complete review, this is what I think of it so far:
1. Bought it at a good price from Discount Knives - they had the best price. It is a very inexpensive knife, considering it is of such high quality.
2. Overall appearance is great - smooth lines, well designed and generally a beautiful knife.
3. Handle is a VERY HARD Rubber type material; like hard kraton - hard, but not too hard. I think just perfect. Seems it will be more durable than Kraton.
4. Blade is quite thick (3/16"), 4" long, and has plenty belly for skinning. I love drop points - and she's got one.
5. Sheath is VERY high quality black leather. I would have preferred kydex, or a leather sheath that didn't have such a large snap-button flap; in fact I would have preferred no snap-flap at all. This is definitely NOT a quick-draw sheath - oh well, can't have everything.
Overall, this blade is made very well, feels good, looks good, and is a bargain - I highly recommend it.
