Fallkniven folder! Model P

[shootist16]

From Fallkniven:

"A lot has happened behind the scenes around this folding knife, but the aim has been the same from the word go - to produce a folding knife with a sensible size and attractive design. Since we have sold other manufacturers’ folding knives for twenty years, we wanted to use that experience and make a knife that was practical, attractive and reliable.

A folding knife can never be as strong as a sheath knife, and since it is the result of several hundred different work operations, it must of course be more expensive to manufacture. On the other hand it is in a handy format and acceptable in many situations, and finally - it is a really fun edged tool that primarily boys, down the ages - and of all ages! - have loved to play with.

Inspired by the world-famous knifemaker R.W. Loveless, mod. P is a symbiosis between advanced technology, genuine handicraft and timeless design - a knife for modern people.

Well it's about time they did a folder!! Thanks for the great news Dennis! A very nice looking piece indeed. Might have to toss this on my list of stuff to get.

Nice, but there's more than a hint of WH Evolution series 05 with G10 handles. Even down to the design of the thumb-stud and the exact types of steel -and price-point, as well.

Same -fine, Japanese- factory?
