How does this knife compare to the fallkniven F1 as for as performance.

I have not used the fallkniven but have used hunting knives for over 50 years and own at least 30 different brands. This is the best I've ever owned and for the money it is a steal. Well balanced, easy to sharpen and holds a razor edge. Cleaned 2 Axis with mine last night. I have two but didn't have to switch as the first stayed sharp .

Better blade design a little longer blade, edge retention about the same, handle design easier to hold. I have both Knives love them both.

I think so. The spring action is really cool. One time I needed to trim a few small branches so I gave it a nice swing at it. Sure enough, it cut the branch off clean. Made me feel like a ninja. Did it a few more times just to check the durability and cut them clean each time. Another cool feature is the clip. This is great for putting in a pocket, it keeps it from floating around. For the price, its good quality and a pretty fun knife.

Only if you are really concerned about any light reflecting off the body of the blade for any stealth work you may be doing or may do in the future. I will be buying the A1 in black coating soon for my collection anyway. Fallkniven is a great knife. Good to know that you appreciate blades as much as I do. Thanks.

I have no idea how it compares to a Swissmar, but the blades do not rust and it is still as sharp and effective as the day I got it.

The F1 that I own and purchased through Amazon matches the fallkniven site, with a much smaller logo, and nearer the handle than the one pictured here. Also has an exposed tang. This does not appear to be an accurate picture.

I would prefer the SCHF-9 it has good weight the blade is sharp right out of the box and cuts wood well for a fixed blade. I have tested the knife to the limit, it has met my expectations, if you are looking for the ultimate outdoorsman knife I highly recommend the SCHF-9.

I've used both and had basically the same experience with both. Both work well and cut just fine. Handles on the both seem to be the same .The reason I bought this one vs. the other (a buddy who I backpack with carries the Sven) was this can take any blade.

this knife is more of a survival knife it is extremely durable and well built, if you want a combat knife look at the LMF II by Gerber. This knife is definitely not for daily carry it is to bulky therefor it cant really be used for defense. If you are looking for a tactical fixed blade knife go with a cold steel kobun. I love that blade it is extremely sharp, way sharper than the gerber when it arrives. hope my response can aid you in the search for a fixed blade knife

I like the SCHF9 because its a longr blade and a grippier handle with a blade just as thick as the bk2 for a lower price.

I honesty cannot say. I had both. One burned out so I bought the other. As long as we had it we did not dull the blade out. Sorry wish I could be of more help. I can say they are both equal in quality & the motor is as powerful in both. Thanks

The 14C28N steel holds up extremely well. It will take a shaving edge quite easily but likes a slightly steeper bevel. That being said, the Skyline holds a sharp edge for quite some time with heavy use, better than the AUS8. It WILL get a light brown rust on it if exposed to water and left but nothing that wont come off with a scotch pad. In conclusion, this is a sharp, tough knife with excellent edge retention and a blade that is easy to care for. Highly recommend it for someone who will USE it.

I believe it is but I've never physically owned one or compared the two. This one however is a great knife and I recommend it.

It's heavy compared to stamped knives (like the cheap ones you can get at a grocery store), but not heavy compared to other forged ones (like Wussthof or some of the nicer grocery store ones).Also, it takes so much less force to cut through stuff, it's really not a hindrance at all. Especially because it's very well balanced. I like the weight quite a lot.

Don't know the steel details. However, the boning knife performs as well as the chefs knife. I'm a butchers son. I would put either knife up against knives in the $200 plus range.

the knife pictured is the fallkniven F1 with the thermorun handle, I have one of these and it is full tang and it is exposed at the pommel. I bought this about a year and a half ago and am very pleased. the handle is a bit thin but I have smaller hands so it is not a problem for me. The quality of this knife is second to none and it is vg-10 stainless steel, best of both worlds!

I dont know about schrade f15...i never had one,but it looks like a bigger knife then schrade f16....depens what your needs are,If you looking for something small but tough and almost* on a level of survival knife then schrade f16 is a great option! like i said b ,looks to me that schrade f15 is the same thing just little bit bigger.(dont know how comfortable the grip is tho, but I heard that some ppl put rubber from the bicycle tire over scgrade f15 handle lol )

It takes an edge a bit quicker but dulls a bit quicker too. The steel is strong and I like it quite a bit. I think you'll be more than happy with the knife, probably worth twice what you pay for it when compared to similar quality blades.
