question on Fallkniven A1

[nelly1974]

I recently purchased a lightly used Fallkniven A1 with kydex sheath on craigslist for a good price.
The guy told me it was laminated vg10 but the black coated blade only says vg-10 on it. I have seen other A1s that say LAM VG10. So is it safe to say mine is a solid vg10 blade and not laminated vg10?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

earlier fallknivens were solid VG-10, not laminated so it's possible you have one of those.

is there a 'lamination' line about ~5mm back from the blade edge? it might look a little like a bevel line, but it isn't.

if there's no lamination line, then you have a solid VG-10 model A1.

if that concerns you, i'll buy it off you!

Hey Sambo,
Thanks for the reply.
Well my blade is black coated so i don't think the line would be visible if it were laminated. And no it doesn't really concern me. It's a fine knife and considering I payed only 70 bucks for it in near new condition, I am quite happy.
