F1 – our rst knife!
It took us eight years to develop
the mod. F1, a knife that is in use
today with the Swedish Air Force
as a survival knife. The result from
extensive eld-testing, carried out
on hot summer days and ice-cold
winter nights, was an advanced,
well-designed and safe knife, where
strength and modern design go hand-
in-hand. The fact that it is also very
well thought of by the civilian market
testies to its incredible versatility.
The combination of resilient,
laminated special steel and sure grip
is attractive to most. Many get on
very well with this knife, which over
the years has become something of
a signature for our company. Is there
a better knife this size?
F1 Black
There are moments when you wish
to avoid reects from your blade and
then the black CeraCoat 8H F1b is
the option for you. This extremely
tough surface will also protect the
blade from any corrosion agent.
F1/3G
Many years ago, when we began
the development of our now famous
knife series Tre Kronor, we wanted
to test something new: A completely
unknown laminated powder steel.
Our own tests went well, but we also
wanted to test the steel on the open
market in order, so to speak, to be
on the safe side. So, we manufac-
tured 110 peices of F1-knives using
this 3G steel, knives which were then
sold all over the world. The reactions
were, to say the least, positive. And
so we could start manufacturing our
most exclusive knife series.
Today we are using this 3G steel in
a great number of models, including
the F1 knife.
PRK
Making a police and rescue knife is
a serious undertaking - a person’s
life can depend on its ability to func-
tion correctly if anything should go
wrong. Years of development work
and experience lie behind the design
which has resulted in an extremely
strong and reliable knife for use in
dangerous situations. The newly de-
veloped cobalt specialty steel, and its
nish (Black Ceracoat) also makes
the knife very suitable for boats and
ships – the PRK is the rst advanced
boat knife in the world. The partially
serrated blade cuts extremely quickly
in porous but tough materials (haw-
sers, nylon ropes, seat belts, etc) and
thanks to the very special steel the
blade holds an edge extremely well.
This knife is a result of our coopera-
tion with the Riot Police squad in Mal-
moe. We are most grateful for their
input and good advises.

Philosophy and art of knife making
It is no wonder that Leonardo da Vinci
still, ve centuries after his death,
affects our lives and our view of the
outside world. Leonardo is considered
one of the world’s leading universal
genius and his ideas about propor-
tions, e g, govern us today. He was a
master to at the same time form a dis-
tinct and precise, yet erased universal
picture but that is perhaps the very
thing that shows his greatness.
Of course, we don’t compare our-
selves with this master, but what is
exciting to note is the tremendous
impact our sales of model F1 has got
world-wide. Here we nd that the pro-
portions correspond so well that they
need not to be explained, both eye
and hand accept the concept when
direct contact occurs. Finally, we also
add an excellent steel that is both
strong and holds an edge well and all
this puts the F1 knife on top, around
the world. Quality, form and function
at its best.
