Fällkniven A1 A1XB Swedish Survival Knife - Laminated CoS Blade - Black Thermorun Sheath
Fallkniven's A1XB Swedish Survival Knife is the strongest, sharpest and safest stainless steel knife in production. If your life is in danger, you can always rely on your A1XB knife. It is designed to withstand all the stresses applied by the human hand, which means that it is virtually indestructible. It assumes, however, that you are careful with the knife and that it is used as intended, namely as a sharp precision tool.
The basis of the Fallkniven A1XB’s strength lies in the laminated cobalt steel, and also in the well-thought-out construction in which break zones have been eliminated. Together with the hand-shaped convex edge, it's a concept that beats everything else in the world in terms of safety and comfort.
A few words about the all-black version: This surface is the hardest Fallkniven has encountered. Although they've tried to wear down the black coating with the toughest, driest curly birch they could find, they never succeeded in getting holes in this extremely hard, durable surface. Still, it cannot guaranteed that it will stay for time and eternity, after all, the blade can be ground and certainly bites a diamond or ceramic stone on the surface. But you have probably never met a harder surface, the hardness is at 2400 HV (Vickers) or around HRC 83.
In Fallkniven's usual way, they have put a lot of energy into designing a safe knife sheath, which is actually where the knife will spend most of its time. The design of the sheath determines the access to the knife, and here they have really put all their efforts in order to get a safe sheath that allows easy access to the knife. The sheath has both a transport lock (the folding bracket with a strap) and a working safety detail that allows the knife to be in place until you decide to use it. It is a bit a belt-and-braces approach, but they've put safety first – a lost knife is of no use. The transport lock will therefore allow the knife to be fastened tip-up or tip-down on the body or on your equipment without any risk.
