Fallkniven X Series S1 Black

The Fallkniven S1 black is, arguably, the worlds most functional and high performing survival knife with a slightly longer and fuller bellied blade than its little brother, the F1. It is certainly one of the best made with the best materials and at a price that, considering the spec, is a bargain! The X series certainly has the X factor!

 

The basis of the X-knife’s strength lies in the laminated cobalt steel in combination with the well-thought-out construction in which break zones have been eliminated. Together with the hand-shaped convex edge, the X-knife is a concept that beats everything else in the world in terms of safety, comfort and hard use.

 

Lam. Cos stands for Laminated Cobalt Steel. It is at least 20% stronger than a solid stainless steel. The S1X uses a steel “sandwich”. The “bread” is almost corrosion free, 420J stainless with a super hard Cobalt Steel “filling.” Factor in the Tungsten Carbide coating, which increases the blades surface hardness to 2400 HV (Vickers) or around HRC 83 and you have a edge of supreme cutting capability.

 

The Fallkniven X Series S1 Black is supplied with a Kydex sheath with a “transport lock.” Meaning the knife can be stored in a ready to go position or locked in so it can be stored in the tip up or down position.
