Fallkniven F-1M, worth?

[Rumble]

Hi there!

Does anyone know anything about a Fallkniven F-1M that is supposedly a special edition with only 200 made?

Can anyone confirm this? If true, what is the worth of one of these blades and/or the original price? Found one at US$155, worth it?

Yes it is limited micarta handled knife with SS fingerguard and 'mirror' polished blade. Wery well constructed and good looking.
Price was more than 155$. I can't remember exact price but it was about twice the regular knifes retail price. Is it worth it??? for some - sure - for me no.

Tommi,

Thanks, what size is the blade? A little over 4"?

There's a pic of it at their website (www.fallkniven.com). Under the Custom link.

Hi!

I had the oppurtunity to examine one of these knives, i haven't owned or handled that many customs but this is the most well made knife i've had the pleasure of handling.

I really like the F1, and the F1M is VERY beautiful, highly recommended if you want an awesome looking user.

Thanks for the info guys!

But is it worth paying US$155.00 for it?
Is there a current market value for this knife right now?
I like how it looks and the design will be useful for me.

Hi, sorry, forgot to answer that question

New they went for 2300 crowns and that is about 216 USD, they are sold out at Fällkniven so if this is a new knife i'd say buy it!
Best of luck

Thanks!
I'll seriously consider the knife now.

Blah, the seller didn't reply to my email
about shipping to Canada so I lost the knife
to another buyer. He used the Buy It Now option on Ebay.
Blah.

Next time...

Someone posted one for sale a few days ago. It was posted an an F1. But was only specified a bit later and with a pic that it was in fact the F1-M with the micarta handles! Went pretty fast after that. Oh, it sold for $85 shipped!
