As others have mentioned, Bark River's Bravo 1 and the Bravo 1 LT version are both good candidates. They are offered in A2 carbon steel and S35VN Stainless, and are convex and of a similar size and design to the F1.
The Fallkniven F1 was originally manufactured by Linder of Solingen Germany in ATS-34. Linder still offer the knife now as the Super Edge 1. Here is a comparison with the current F1.
In addition, Linder offers a number of hunter models with stag and other handles in either ATS-34 or 440C that are very similar to
the F1 design and size.
Fallkniven ended their contract with Linder Solingen and went to Hattori Seki, who makes the current F1, as well as all of Fallkniven's fixed blades. An alternative to the F1 is Hattori's HT-70 series which, like the F1 offers a VG10 laminate convex blade but with micarta, corian and cocobolo handles. Also offered in tangless and Damascus versions, I have two of them and they are similar to the micarta versions of the F1.

BUT, the Australian's have a saying. 'If its not broke don't fix it?' Get another F1 in desert tan, the 'F1dz'.:thumbup:

Have not tried the f1..
But recently bought a busse cabs, fantastic knife!
4inch blade with a razor sharp convex edge.
Also it is very easy to keep sharp! Have batoned frozen wood/Hard oak and used it pretty heavily on some icefishing trips.
Got some dings in the edge, and lost the razor sharpness..
Steeled the knife on a screwdriver, and strooped it a few times on a old belt, boom! Knife was sharper than new!😮
