 Description: 

The Fällkniven F1 is a very popular fixed knife which, after 8 years of development, is used by the Swedish Air Force, among others. This limited edition comes with an engraving of the Saab JAS 39 Gripen fighter aircraft.

But that's not the only remarkable thing about this Fällkniven F1. The knife has also been made entirely by hand. The blade, the grind, the finish of the micarta handle: all have been done by hand. The side of the handle features the Tre Kronor emblem. This emblem has been gilded especially for this knife. Not just gilded: a layer ten times thicker than usual has been applied.

Naturally, the blade is made from renowned 3G powder steel. The handle is entirely made from micarta, a highly durable material. The bolster of this anniversary knife is made from nickel silver. This gives it a warmer appearance than the steel of the blade. The knife is supplied in a fully closed leather sheath. Both knife and sheath can be stored in the beautiful wooden box that form the special edition of this F1.

Only a limited number of the F1L3GMM has been produced.

More info on 3G Steel
3G steel, a high-performance marvel from the Swedish knife masters at Fällkniven, emerges as a laminated powerhouse that fuses a core of Super Gold Powder Steel (SGPS) with outer layers of VG2 stainless steel, creating a blade that’s as tough as it is exclusive. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill metal—SGPS, also known as SG2, MC63, or Kobelco R2 depending on who’s wielding it, brings a cocktail of 1.25-1.45% carbon, 14-16% chromium, 2.3-3.3% molybdenum, and 1.8-2.2% vanadium, spiked with manganese, silicon, and whispers of phosphorus and sulfur, all melded through a secretive powder metallurgy process that yields a fine-grained beast clocking in at 62 HRC. The VG2 jackets, softer yet corrosion-resistant, wrap this core like armor, boosting the blade’s strength by at least 20% over solid stainless rivals, making it a go-to for survival knives that laugh at harsh conditions. Edge retention is where 3G struts its stuff—users rave about its ability to stay sharp through marathon cutting sessions, outpacing steels like VG-10 or N690, though it trades a bit of toughness compared to softer champs like 14C28N, and sharpening it demands skill thanks to its hardness and vanadium carbides. Born in Japan’s Takefu forges, refined by Fällkniven’s Nordic alchemy, 3G carries a mystique—its exact crafting veiled in shadow, driving up its price and rarity, yet delivering a balance of wear resistance, corrosion defiance, and durability that’s tough to match. Picture a knife that could cleave through seasons without flinching, a collector’s prize or a bushcrafter’s dream—3G steel doesn’t just perform; it reigns, a testament to what happens when metallurgy meets obsession.
