John,
That doesn’t sound dumb at all. You’d be surprised how many guys who are ‘really knowledgeable’ about knives mispronounce this brand, if they even try at all.

According to a Swedish guy I know, the correct pronunciation is: Fell- ka- neeven.

Amazing how we have all these pronunciation experts here. I guess the two people I talked to at their factory last month, who are Swedish, didn't even know how to pronounce their own company's name.

The word Fällkniven sounds like the words Fell-elk-knee-ven (Raven without Ra) put together to "FellKneeven".

Fällkniven means folding knife (or actually "that folding knife", as in "I want that folding knife".

Thank you for confirming it. :thumbup:

 

[KILLAFORNIA]

What the Fallkniven!, I guess I've been mispronouncing it all these years.

 

[safetyman]

Same here too...I guess I'm not as lingual as I thought i was!

 

[TheGame]

I don't think I will ever remember that. Why can't things be pronounced just how they sound?

I am going to start to write this down and say it regularly, maybe it'll help.

 

[komondor]

I always thought it was fall niven (as in David Niven). I've heard others pronounce it this way, too.

Well now I'm confused. Which one is it "Fell-elk-knee-ven" or "FellKneeven"?

That's right. No offense to english speakers but the most common "fall knaiven" pronouncement sounds horrible.

Fäll = Fell, a kind of rugged moor or wilderness in Lappland.In otherwords, a first rate outdoor knife!
