Hi there,

I'm looking for a good mid size single edge fighting knife. Twoo knives have retain my attention : Cold Stee magnum tanto and Falkniven A1
Witch is the best and why ?

Thanks for replies !
 
Fallkniven hands down. Steel's better, construction is better, company is more reputable.

Who ya fighting?
 
I hate to sound like a broken record here, but Fällkniven is far superior. Their knives are made for heavy use, not covert deanimation operations. ;)
 
Get the Fallkniven. It's better made and has better steel. I have a few Cold Steel knives but I have more then a dozen Fallkniven models and everone of them has come to me perfectly made. I have my A1 piggybacked with an F1 so I have a big knife and a smaller knife at my fingertips.

Do the Fallkniven!! :) :eek: :D
 
Go with Fallkniven, then again, I don't recommend any type of knife altercation unless you have a great insurance program and don't mind unsightly scars.
 
Fallkniven :thumbup: . Cold steals kind of, um .... snap in half when you use them :rolleyes:
 
Of the two, you'll get better service from the Falkniven. Now if you had considered one of the older Cold Steel Carbon V SRKs, the decision might not be as clear cut.
 
The A-1 is an excellent knife. You could surely hurt someone with it - severely. Fallkniven does, however, make a purpose-built fighting knife -- a double-edged weapon with balance more back towards the hand. "Gorm Fighter," I think it's called. All depends on what you want to do.

So what? Maybe people baby their Fallknivens, since they cost more than the SRK. And I doubt there are nearly as many Fallknivens out there as SRKs, also.

Thats what went through my mind when I was choosing over an F1 or a Master Hunter. Now, I opted for the MH because their Carbon V is great, and I like carbon over stainless for a belt knife, so when I found the MH, might I add at a lower price than the F1, I bought it.


In this case though, go with fallkniven, no doubt.

An SRK in 2 pieces sits beside the machete. Apparently broke doing some under a little baton work...

aside the fact thats a Recon tanto, unfortunatly what you say makes no diffrence. How many busses have you seen broken, doesnt mean they cant be, right?

every thing is going to have a breaking point, sorry.
