Very handsome knives, Anyone got any information on these, how they worked for processing foods etc.

The SK-1 3G is my backpacking knife, I really like it. Holds a great edge, the curly birch handle holds up well, great grinds. Sheath carrys well with a pack on. Sorry I can't comment on processing game. I have had zero problems with this knife, carried it the last two years.

I have used the SK3 Juni for all sorts of small knifejobs, including batoning firewood.
It has a short narrow handle,but it copes great with anything it has been used for.
The 3G steel holds an edge like nothing else in my inventory, much due to a thick edge geometry and high RC hardness.

Here are pics of the Juni in preparing a Rainbow Trout for dinner.

Coping, cleaning my Juni is as easy as with any other good knife.
Maybe this is because of all the boiled linseedoil I have rubbed into the wood.

What SK model are You primarily looking at?

Lindseed oil work well?

the sk1 I thinks the length I could do with.

3g at 62 hrc!
and the curly birch is a beaut.
 
Yes,the best recipe will be a drop of boiled linseedoil every now and then, until the wood is sealed.
I have handled the SK1 in a store and it is a totally awesome knife!
Curly Birch is the no.1 wood for knives here in Sweden and I too just love it!

Would you know much about the thermorun fallkniven use by any chance?

They are definitely a lot of knife for the money.

Thats what im hoping, I also cant find much wrong about the company fallkniven either, like nasty reviews etc.
Pretty sure i wont be paying for advertising like the cold steel company, which googling suggests their a little bit of a novelty company marketed for the youngsters.
 
"Would you know much about the thermorun fallkniven use by any chance?"

Not much more than that it works very well on the TK2.
It is harder than the Kraton on the old H1 and this is a good thing as I see it.
Otherwise I'm more in favor for natural materials or Micarta.

Yeah I prefer the wooden handles too, but the phk seems to have the best blade overall for processing a variant of foods, if that was curly birch I would be a happy customer for sure, ive only found the phk in thermorun.
 
There was a custom PHK with wood for sale at the Canadian distributor,but this was at least a year ago.
I think a rehandle of a PHK, would be a fairly easy do it Yourself project in a regular home work shop.

I'm pretty sure of that Eric never will introduce a PHK blank.
I think he might even discontinue the existing series of blanks!

Cutting off the rubber is easy and the right thing to do, if You have a clear idea of what You can do.

Mikael, is there a tang diogram for the phk? Wouldnt mind seeing it, to if ill make a good project out of your idea.
 
I have yet to see a pic of a PHK tang, but as it has a slided on guard, the tang must be fairly parallell.
This makes it not too difficult to do a personal wooden handle.
If this doesn't work,there are skilled craftsmen out there who does rehandlings for a living.

Mikael
 
Good question and I'm thinking of it, but I have not yet decided to buy a new 3G knife.
Maybe it will be the F1 in 3G as I will make a guard in the Scagel style.

Well that's what I am thinking, but if You want a nice production knife in Curly Birch, the SK1 must be the best choice on the market today.
