Favor to Ask of F1 Owners

[Gautier]

I was wondering if any of you fellas that own the Fallkniven F1 would mind providing some size comparison pictures. Reason being, that I've narrowed my next purchase choices down to just a couple, and the F1 looks to be the one. My only concern is that I've heard the handle may be a bit on the small side.
Was hoping maybe someone could post a few side by side shots of a F1 with some easily scaled items(soda can, 91mm SAK, etc.) that I normally wrap my paws around, as no local shops carry them and I'll be purchasing online, sight unseen(or handle unheld as it were).
Any help you could lend in this area would be appreciated. :thumbup:

The only thing holding the F1 back is that the handle is too thin (across the spine), and I find it very uncomfortable to curl up stubborn wood after a while.

most of the people I have read that complain about the handle are complaining because it's not thick enough. I think it's ok for me.

Hope these help:

Great pics, all!

That's where custom handles come in for the guys with big, manly hands (me, I've got small girly hands, so the F1 is good as it is for me)

Man I miss mine. But I ordered a blade blank... so soon.

Wow! thanks I just ordered a F-1 Yesterday.

I know someone posted pics of a Cold Steel Master Hunter along side a F-1.

I own an MH and soon I will be able to compare them side by side.

That's perfect. Thanks for all the replies and pics folks. I think I've got a pretty good idea now of what to expect. After breaking out the ruler and comparing with photos it looks about the same thickness as a closed 3 layer SAK(maybe a bit thicker) which would suit me just fine. Not too small, not too big. :thumbup:

it is a little small for big paws (like mine), but it is still decent and works/fits.
