So I did something dumb one day. I figured my Fallkniven F1 would be even better with a micarta handle on it, so I sliced the lovely Thermorun one off. After one shameful attempt at rehandling, I had proved myself wrong. To quote Peter Hjortberger, whom I begged for mercy and a replacement handle, "You've learnt the lesson the hard way!"
Anyhow, I found this Fallkniven F1 blade in a drawer today. I knocked off the awful micarta slabs i had made for it a long time ago. There's still some JB Weld on the handle. I drilled the front hole with a carbide bit, and I really took my time. No overheating or anything. The blade is nice and sharp, never saw much use. Lot of stropping on impregnated leather. The original sheath is gone. I'll ship it in an ugly one I made. This sheath stands no chance of becoming impregnated.
Now, I tried to sell this on Amazon many years ago, and the genius who bought it didn't bother to read my description, so when he received a dehandled knife for half the price of a new F1, he blew his stack and gave me all sorts of bad one-star reviewage. I immediately refunded him his money, and he graciously reciprocated by letting his insane bellowing rant stand on my brand new seller account for all time. THEREFORE, IF YOU PLEASE:
THIS SALE IS FOR A FALLKNIVEN F1 WITH NO HANDLE ON IT. YOU WILL HAVE TO PUT A NEW HANDLE ON YOURSELF.
Asking 65 bucks, paypal fees and shipping included. Paypal or USPS MO. Here's some photographs:
