I picked up a S1 Forest Knife & A1 Survival Knife the other day. Wow, this is the first knife I have really used (besides my Victornix) with a Convex Ground blade. Damn, these are good cutters. I went to pick up a S1 to try, but could not resist the A1, just a tad longer but also thicker - impressive.

The new Black Nylon & Zytel Sheath is different, although I do wonder about durability with that little Zytel wing that locks the gaurd in. The A1 came with the Kydex sheath, but I think I do like the Zytel one better :thumbup:. The Zytel is a more compact design.

I knew I would like the Kraton, rubbery gripped handle since it works well on my SOG Tech Bowie. And if I ever have to replace it, it seems there are plenty of people on BF buying the models without the handles and outfitting them with custom scales.

I cannot believe I wanted so long to pick one of these up! I might have to pick up an A2 one day :D

I have both. 2 great knives. My wife uses the S1 for hiking/camping most of the time. Just got the A1. Hadn't had a chance to use it yet, but love the way it feels.

I'll mention that to my Wife! She has never even considered carrying a knife when we are outdoors. Maybe this can open doors for her. How entertaining would that be if my Wife and I we arguing over what knife to carry!
 
My Fallknivens! :D

According to the specs, the S1 and A1 are only supposed to have a 1 mm change in thickness. I measured my knives and they do match the specs, but you can really see the extra 1 mm!

The only reason we don't argue is my S1 was taken over by my Chris Reeve Mountain II. Yet, I do miss using my, I mean her, S1. It really is a great knife.
