Fallkniven F1 Pro Elmax Fixed Blade Knife - Black / Satin

Fallkniven's popular F1Pro now with Elmax steel. Elmax is a high-alloy powder steel with high corrosion resistance and high wear resistance.

There are survival knives, and then there are survival knives for the professional user. Our models F1, S1 and A1 have provided exceptional service for more than twenty years and due to their outstanding quality and durability will continue to do so for many years to come. Our desire to strive for continual improvement had led us to develop the Pro Series which takes the concept of the survival knife to new heights of quality and durability. We started developing these impressive knives in 2010 and five years later we were finally able to offer three survival knives that set a new standard for how a real survival knife should look and work: the Pro series.

To put it simply – a knife is a blade and a handle. But if this important tool is to be both strong and keep the sharpness well, you must use really advanced materials and have a long and deep experience when it comes to being able to make knives for tough tasks. If you also want to claim to call a knife “professional”, you take on a great responsibility towards the user. The Pro series can do that.

F1pro Elmax differs from its predecessor (F1pro/CoS) in the following important details:

The blade in laminated cobalt steel is replaced by a solid blade made of powder steel, Elmax SuperClean from Uddeholm, Sweden. It gives a blade that is 20% stronger and that keeps the sharpness significantly longer.

Fallkniven's Pro series compared to the first series (F1, S1 and A1):

1. The blades are consistently thicker causing an increased torsional rigidity - they will withstand even greater external forces than before.

2. The tapered tang is wider and thicker and thus significantly stronger.

3. The cross guard is made of stainless steel and permanently mounted to the tang.

4. The convex edge has been refined to improve the cutting properties.

5. The redesigned Zytel sheaths are more durable and better suited to the Molle system.

Understandably these knives fall into a higher price category. However, considering the unparalleled quality they are by no means overpriced. A professional survival knife should be able to be relied upon in the all-weather and we really mean all weather. It should also be pleasant, safe and comfortable to handle whether it’s fine or rough work, desert heat or winter cold. Everything has been considered in the design of this stylish, advanced survival knife series.
