Greetings. I went out on a limb and placed an order for my first Fallkniven, the S1. After much research before and after my order, the one issue that continues to reoccur is the handle size. Many feel that the handle is way too small. All these complaints have me quite weary about my purchase. Can any fallkniven S1 owners give me a handle comparison? I have a short Kabar, Tops BOB, Mora robust, Mora companion, Mora 711, Ontario Rat 3, Ontario SP43 (among others) in its general size range. Which would you compare the handle to?
 
I don't know if it's too small.

The pommel end is slimmer than the F1, but the handle is a little bit longer than the F1.

The best way to determine if it's too small for You, will be to use the knife intensively.
When Your pulse rise and the bloodpressure increases in Your hand, You will feel if the handle fits or not.

If not, my advice will be to rehandle and make a custom fit to Your hand.


Regards
Mikael

In the size of the companion, but with more straight spine and slimmer in the pommel area.

Here's my custom S1, made from the bladeblank.

As You can see, the handle is very thick.
If I would have made it again, I would make it more contoured and slimmer.
