Fallkniven GP Linerlock Pocket Knife Black Micarta - FNGPBM

I’m an avid knife collector in real time user of popular brand knives ie hinderer, CRK, benchmade, Viper, Fox, and Spyderco. I’ve handled so many different knives and rotate them frequently. But I’ve been carrying this Fallkniven knife for several weeks and it’s the perfect edc. The specs show a 4” closed knife, but you can’t tell you’re carrying a knife at all. It has a slender but well built frame. Although it’s listed as gentleman’s folder this blade is by no means, should be considered to be a light use knife. It has handled large cutting tasks. I’ve tested this to cut everything from large cardboard boxes, to packing material and canvas- and after a full 3 days use on a cutting office project -the blade is unbelievably still very sharp. A light strop could easily bring it back the edge to excellent factory sharpness. I typically don’t like letting a knife get to dull past the point of stripping. The knife has a beautiful aesthetic to it and I’ve had many compliments on its look and finish. It doesn’t look like a knife that you’d want to abuse. So you may be torn to just carrying this as an EDC or use it as a workhorse use it can go either way. It is classy looking in person and not offensive when pulling it out in any setting. As a close comparison, I have a Benchmade Osborne 940 which has similar ergo‘s but the Fallkniven blade has maintained it sharpness longer than the S35VN Osborne, and is easier to carry in class you’re looking. Although the Fallkniven doesn’t have a pocket clip, it does have a lanyard loop and comes with a pocket slip. Both happens to be my preference over pocket clip anyway. In typical fashion most European knives don’t have a pocket clip, but no clip should not be a deal killer for you. Try something new -I can say for this knife instance, a tasteful lanyard with bean thats is connected to the knife loop and carried in your front or back pocket is easier to release and tuck away than fidgeting with a pocket clip IMO. At $197 this knife is one of the best value knives out there! The blade, the polished black micarta and ergos and quality build is amazing -and competes with knives priced twice as much. If you buy this knife you won’t regret it it’s a lifetime knife. After buying this knife I was impressed and bought the PX and the Kronor. If you try to shop pricing around the Internet don’t waste too time searching around as Discount cutlery has the best pricing on most Fallknkven knives anywhere.
