I received my first new model Fallknivens yesterday:
The HK9 exudes all the quality and refinment of the F1 micarta series. Slightly smaller in size than the F1, less than 1/2 inch shorter in the blade, and just slightly more than 1/2" shorter in total length, it is also lighter than the F1 micarta by about 25 grams. Both share a 4.5 mm blade thickness.
It appears oblivious the HK9 share roots with F1. The handle is slightly modified and the blade is slightly upswept with a more pronounced drop point. the bolster appears identical to the F1. The HK9 sports 3G steel, not available on the F1 until July, and then, only in limited quantities.
The FH9 is Fallknivens newest folder. Considerably smaller and lighter than the PXL and a bit smaller than the P series, it slots in nicely with the TK3 and U1 for size. A more robust feeling knife than the U1 thanks to the SS bolsters and full micarta scales (also available in MOP) The blade is 3G, has a slight upsweep, and sports a more pronounced drop point than the TK3.
The absence of a thumbstud detracts slightly from the ease of usability in my opinion, but overall this is another top notch offering from Fallkniven.

PS this isn't a new model, but I got it yesterday as well and couldn't resist.
