Fallkniven F1 Elmax Anniversary + DC4 f1anniv

On the occasion of the brand's 40th anniversary, Fallkniven launches two new limited edition models, the Phantom Anniversary and F1 Elmax Anniversary. The F1 ELmax Anniversary model is a special version of the brand's best-selling F1 Pilot's Survival Knife, now with an exclusive Swedish powder steel of the highest class (Elmax). The story behind this sensational knife began when in 1987 the Swedish Air Force asked to develop a new survival knife, a knife that would be better suited to the technical environment represented by the JAS 39 Griffin system. In August 1995, the first delivery of several thousand F1 knives was made to the Swedish Armed Forces and, the following year, sales to the civilian market began. The success was formidable - for the first time there was a serious survival knife available on the world market without fish hooks, compass and serrated blade spine and, moreover, with a blade in a highly advanced rust-resistant special steel. The philosophy we introduced around advanced survival knives was really in stark contrast to the old technology that has guided the development of combat and survival knives since World War II. Instead of cheap standard steels, we invested in high-quality steels that were stronger and stayed much sharper, but were also more expensive and more difficult to process. In addition, we made sure that the handle was safe and comfortable even in cold climates. The F1 model has formed the school of modern survival knives and that knowledge, combined with long experience of living in the harshest possible conditions, has allowed us to develop a new type of knife.
