Anyone know someone who knows alot about Fallkniven Folders? Im looking to grab one in the future, and would like to talk to someone knowledgable.....
 
EXCELLENT knives! I can only speak to the PXL model. It has the laminated blade with SG2 steel at the center for the cutting edge. Uses a liner lock that works perfectly, has a clip for tip down carry. Standard model comes in maroon or ivory micarta handles, with stainless bolsters. :thumbup::thumbup::)
 
I have the U2, TK4, F4 and F1. I am happy with all of them except for the U2. For me, the steel just doesn't hold an edge like the TK4.
I would recommend the TK4 and you can't go wrong with any of the Fallkniven folders, with the possible exception of the U2. I don't believe that you can get the same quality/quality control for that much less money.
 
Had a lot of Fallknivens :lol:

Folders are good by and large - the PXL I found overdesigned for my taste - though lovely for what it is. The TK4 and U2 with plastic handles are some of the best knives out there, and I have more than one of each :) Can't stand the idea of them not being made anymore.

The ModP is good, but I found the scales give the knife an overall degree of flex which I didn't like so asked a friend to rebuild it with yellow bone scales, musch more robust and it solved the flex issue entirely. It is one of the best folders I have now

The Dolled up TK3s are nice and substantial gent's knives - which some how don't click with me, after a few goes. But I did see a black quince one that I could happily move in with :lol:

The U1, the slipjoint, is heavy for its size and I found it uncomfortably angular, and the spring lacking something. But it is very good looking and has a terrific blade

Get a TK4 and see how you get along with it, maybe add one or two later. But it's a great knife, really
 
Pretty much what everyone else has already said. Overall great quality knives with excellent fit and finish.

I have and use the PXL, P/3G, U2 and FH9. I have no actual complaints with any of them. I have noticed the exposed liners on the P folders can get a bit uncomfortable in the hand if used hard for extended periods.

The PXL is probably a bit large and heavy for most EDC applications, but it is my usual EDC at work. I find the larger size and thick blade often prove useful in an industrial work environment.

The P/3G, U2 (3 or 4 of them), and FH9 are just "always around" in a tool kit, glove box, or drawer. They also get used frequently.

Great folders, quality steel.

U2 - dont like the all zytel handle... could use some steel liners

PXL - wow huge folder and i love it. Only issue is its only tip down and i am so a tip up carry kind of guy

FH9 - My favorite of the bunch. But its pinned and i like to take my folders apart to clean once i a while.

They are all 3G steel, edge holds very well. as you can see none of my complaints are rather big. No deal breakers for me. If the PXL was tip up carry, man oh man...

The only thing Fallkniven needs to make in my opinion is a Ti folder and then.... I think i will retire my Sebbie and Hinderers if it would live up to my day dreams, lol
 
i use a Fallkniven WM1-3G as my edc these days. i kind of enjoy using Fallkniven fixed blades simply because it tickles my rather odd sense of humour to use a thumping great fixed blade with "Folding Knife" written on the side.*

besides my Leatherman, i don't have any need for folding knives, but i'll probably snag myself a U2 or a PXL at some stage.

but anyways, awesome knives. you won't be disappointed.

*(fyi: Fallkniven means "folding knife" in Swedish)
 
The U2 with the laminated SGPS blade was my first Fallkniven. It was not terribly expensive and in my opinion, well built. The blade is probably the sharpest blade I've ever seen right out of the box and for my purposes holds it's edge very well. I do wish it had a pocket clip on it but otherwise, at least for me, it has been a great knife. I now own eight other Fallknivens, mostly fixed bladed. I do have the PXL in 3G and also think it's a beautiful and well made knife. As mentioned above, it is rather massive for a pocket knife but I sometimes find it fun (and useful) to be carrying a big hunk of high quality knife in my pocket. As sambo mentions above, the WM1-3G is a great smaller fixed blade knife for EDC. Easy to carry in one's front pocket with the Fallkniven molded somewhat low profile sheath. I've been carrying smaller fixed blade knives in my front pocket lately - seems to work fairly well for me. Not always quite as fast as far as access compared to a folder with a clip or fixed blade on the belt, depending upon the sheath etc. - but I mostly never need to get a my knives quickly.

Just get the PXL in white. You will be very happy. Check out Knivestown's review on YT. He does a great job. I have this knife and it is nothing short of great. You will love if for the rest of your life.
