This year marks a special occasion for Fällkniven AB as they celebrate 40 years of crafting top-tier knives for the global market. To commemorate this milestone, they've released a special edition of their best-selling F1 Pilot Survival Knife, now featuring a blade made from Elmax, an exclusive Swedish powder steel renowned for its exceptional quality. The story of this remarkable knife dates back to 1987 when the Swedish Air Force commissioned Fällkniven AB to design a new survival knife that would meet the demands of the technologically advanced JAS 39 Griffin system. The result was the F1, a knife that broke away from traditional survival knife designs by prioritising functionality and durability. Thousands of F1 knives were delivered to the Swedish Armed Forces in August 1995, and the following year, the knife was introduced to the civilian market, where it was met with immense success. For the first time, a serious survival knife was available that ditched the unnecessary extras like fishing hooks, compasses, and serrated blade spines, opting instead for a sleek design and a blade crafted from incredibly tough and rust-resistant special steel. This innovative approach, focused on using high-quality materials and prioritising functionality, set a new standard for survival knives worldwide. Fällkniven AB's commitment to quality is evident in every aspect of the F1, from the exceptional blade steel to the handle designed for comfort and safety, even in the harshest of climates. This commitment stems from their extensive experience navigating the extreme conditions of the Arctic Circle, ensuring every knife they create is built to withstand the test of time. When you choose a knife from Fällkniven AB, available here at The Grit, you're not just investing in a tool; you're investing in a legacy of craftsmanship and a commitment to sustainability. With a little care, this knife will last you a lifetime, proving to be a responsible choice for both you and the planet.
