Tell me what you think about it! There is not much on here for it.

I have EDC's this for about month or two now. Comes with cordura pouch that can be worn vertically or horisontally. I do wear it horisontally, and it rides really well and you forget it's there. It's also very low profile and doesn't poke out.

The knife itself is sturdily made for the size! It operates smoothly, but the slipjoint pressure is a bit weak for my taste. It's okay though. It's sharp out of the box but I have no experience yet on how good 3G is. Seems to hold edge really well. It has torx pivot tightening.

I bought it directly from Fällkniven when it was on sale (might still be). For that price it's a great knife! I think that most Fällknivens are really overpriced for what they offer... but that's just me.

But all in all, I have liked it quite a lot!
 
It looks like a very nice little folder. Can we order from the Fallkniven site from the US? Everything is in Swedish (?) currency. I wonder if the sale prices are really good and were missing out here in the US?
 
U1 and top shelf! Great blade steel, feels right, simple. The spring tension is somewhat weak, agreed, but on this model it's acceptable. One of my fav slippies.
 
I believe it translates to around $100 US and $19 for shipping so about $119.00 which is cheaper then you can find here for the Blue Bone anyway. So it sounds like its a nice knife...........anybody else have one?
 
I have one in Cocobolo. The spring tension is a bit weak but it gets extremely sharp and makes for a good cutter.
 
none of their folders have a convex edge, most have a convex grind but the final sharpening is made flat. i'm pretty sure this one is convex ground/V edge as well.

That is correct. It slices like monster nevertheless.

And Fällkniven site should be in english too, atleast mine is..
 
 
just purchased it off of Fallkniven website......should be here in 10 to 14 days Yahoo! It wound up costing $120.02 after shipping, not bad considering the lowest price I could find in the States was $155.00 before shipping and handling. Thanks for all your help and input. Does anybody have more pictures they could post to tide me over until it gets here?
 
Not U1, but here is a couple P/3G folders in yellow and blue bone. I bought these from the discount area on the Fallkniven site.
