Swedish Air Force Pilot Knife - F1 with Air Force Sheath

Swedish Air Force Issue

The Fällkniven F1 is the fixed-blade survival knife carried by Swedish Air Force pilots, and this listing pairs it with the black Air Force sheath. It is a compact, single-piece working knife that handles the jobs a downed aircrew member or a backcountry hiker would face: cutting cord, preparing kindling, processing food and making camp. A fixed blade has no hinge or lock to fail, so it suits anyone who wants one reliable knife on the belt.

Features

• Laminated VG10 Blade — The blade is stamped LAM.VG10, meaning a hard VG10 stainless core is sandwiched between tougher outer layers so the edge holds while the blade resists snapping.
• Drop Point Profile — The spine curves down to meet the edge, giving a strong tip for control work and a long belly for slicing.
• Satin Steel Finish — A clean, bright finish shows the Fällkniven F1 oval stamp on the blade face.
• Checkered Grip — The black handle is textured with a fine diamond pattern for a secure hold with wet or gloved hands.
• Integral Finger Guard — A raised lip where handle meets blade helps keep your hand from sliding forward onto the edge.
• Lined Lanyard Hole — A metal-lined hole near the butt takes a cord loop so the knife can be tethered to your wrist or kit.
• Exposed Pommel Cap — The steel at the end of the handle is left bare, giving a hard surface for light tapping tasks.
• Air Force Sheath — The molded black polymer sheath holds the knife by friction and has a slotted belt attachment plate plus tie-down holes at the tip.

Steel, Handle And Sheath

The F1 is a straightforward design: one laminated VG10 blade, a textured grip with a guard and lanyard hole, and no moving parts. The Air Force sheath is rigid molded polymer that the knife clicks into, with a slotted plate for belt carry and holes at the tip for lashing it to a pack or leg. For collectors of Swedish military kit, it is the genuine issue pattern with the matching sheath, ready to carry in the field.
