JFK, could I ask you want that bottom trailing point fixed blade is please?
Fallkniven volcano....JFK, could I ask you want that bottom trailing point fixed blade is please?
I like Fallkniven but generally look for alternatives given that you have to send the knife across the pond if it ever needs warranty service - but, I am a sucker for trailing points (like the sadly discontinued Becker BK-15) and that Sir is one sexy looking trailing point!
Since I've had mine I've seen two others here on the forums. One guy broke the cocobolo handle batoning logs and redid it with micarta!! Came out good too!! The other was sold on the exchange a few years ago. Pretty much a rare bird! Also saw one in a Dutch sheathmakers site. So not many in the wild to my eye, but I don't spent much time here. Maybe an hour or hour n a half a week.Good point JFK.
Is there any competitor to the Volcano?
I ask because despite my affection for trailing points, they don't seem to sell well. I am an outdoorsman and find that blade shape to me most useful. Even though it's not a dramatic trailing point the Chris Reeve One Piece Range "Sable" is a very useful knife that never ranked high in sales. Likewise my beloved Becker BK-15, awesome knife that provides great value - discontinued to to poor sales.
Check out Montana Knife Company for some good looking trailing points. It’s a pretty new company and I haven’t handled any, but it seems like they’ve got a good pedigree and slick designs!Is there any competitor to the Volcano?
