Not quite sure, it is either a Swedish or Hungarian Mil-Spec bag, that I got at a surplus store.
 
:eek: Did you break up those bricks with it?;)

Great looking knife that seems to be getting some nice use.
 
My S-1 will NEVER be used to break bricks !!! The roughest test was to cut up old carpet as a test. It had lots of dirt and sand. While the softer outside was scratched the VG-10 held up very well.
 
The S1 was my first Fallkniven knive. I now have a bucketfull F1s instead.

The F1 or S1 is the ultimate knife when it comes to, among others:
Strength: laminated somewhat stronger.
Edge retention: no different lam. or not.
Wearability: will not be offensive if worn in a normal food store :) and it will be with you all the time.
Survivability: The F1 is actually used by Swedish Airforce as survival knife so if they can, you can too.
Multitude: they are popular with bushcrafters, military, hunters and wannabees to these groups :)

Good luck with your knife :)
 
I have both the F1 and S1 and I can't say enough great things about them.The S1 to me is one of the best feeling knives I've ever handled.Not to mention it's beautyful to boot.

Same with me, except I do not own a F1, the handle is great but one small thing and the bottown it begins to get smaller and narrower.
 
The F1, A1, A2, S1, H1, MC1 have protruding tang and can be hammered alot.
The end of the finger notch gets worn by time by the leather sheath :) which makes it wobblier in the zytel sheath :( It has no effect in the kydex sheath though.
