Fällkniven A1 sets the world standard for survival knives through its superior technical design, ergonomics, and durability. Designed for professionals and outdoor enthusiasts, the A1 is an all-purpose heavy-duty knife engineered to perform reliably in the most demanding environments. Its powerful, laminated VG7 stainless steel blade delivers exceptional edge retention, strength, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for both chopping and fine cutting tasks. The knife’s full tang construction provides maximum stability and impact strength, while the Kraton handle ensures a secure grip in wet, cold, or extreme conditions.
The A1 was developed to provide a professional-grade survival tool capable of handling extreme stress, harsh climates, and multi-purpose outdoor use. Whether used by military personnel, adventurers, or rescue teams, this knife offers the perfect balance between strength, reliability, and precision cutting performance.
The Fällkniven A1 is designed for survival, fieldwork, and all-around outdoor applications. The convex edge ensures superb cutting efficiency and resilience under heavy loads such as wood splitting or batoning. Thanks to the laminated VG7 core—a tungsten-rich evolution of VG10—the A1 offers excellent edge stability and toughness. The full tang extends through the handle, allowing striking or hammering on the exposed pommel without damage. Its Kraton handle provides a secure, comfortable grip even in extreme temperatures. Users can choose between a Zytel or leather sheath, both designed for easy carry, durability, and fast deployment.

The new VG7 steel features higher tungsten content for increased wear resistance and edge retention. Its laminated structure (420J2 – VG7 – 420J2) combines a hard, high-performance cutting core with tough, corrosion-resistant outer layers. This design maximizes strength and durability while maintaining a fine edge.

VG7 (VGWolf) is an upgraded powder metallurgy stainless steel combining excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The addition of tungsten (W) refines the grain structure and boosts cutting longevity. In Fällkniven’s laminated configuration, it provides unmatched durability and stability during extreme outdoor use — from chopping wood to precision cutting.
