Got my F1

[mtnfolk mike]

Finally got this one done. I've had the blade and scales since August.

that came out great dude.... i think the F1 is an awesome all around knife.... though i must admit i hate the handle.... i would much prefer micarta or wood.....:thumbup:

Supposedly authentic F1 blanks are pretty common on ebay. I'm thinking about going that route myself.

Good pics all, BTW.

If you have not noticed before, well you must have. There is a difference in the Fallkniven logo if the knife is finished in the factory or sold as a blade only. As you see above, the oval is pointier if it is a blade blank.

I've never noticed the handle being too small on the F1 even though I am a fat handle lover. I always assumed it was because (for me) the rubber handle is left wide and flat in the rear rather than being rounded or tapering, so that the rear force has more area to be distributed onto your palm on.
