  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

What to buy. Mora, ESEE 3 or 4, Fallkniven F1 or Kellam Puukko?

I am going to get the Light My Fire FireKnife, it is a Mora with a Swedish Fire Steel Scout in the butt of the handle. Well the second knife I think has come down to the F1 and the ESEE-3. I looked at the BK-16 and I did not really like it. If I get the ESEE-3 I think I will convex it slightly. If I get the F1 my main concern is the edge angle. It looks like a rather steep convex. Is the edge on the F1 a good carver? Is it hard to control on things like feather sticks? Any insight would be much appreciated.

The F1 will do the job more than well!
If You want the cutting edge thinner,that's the way to go.
Fällkniven often recieve F1's used by hunters, for sharpening services.
They always thin the edge when sharpening.

Regards
Mikael

In my opinion its F1 or Kellam...

The F1 is one of those knives that just felt perfect as soon as I held it.

The kellam has a nice looking handle and the blade shape is excellent blade for wood work.

The kellam is like a beefy mora. Mora are cool but a little less robust..
