Knife Description:

The Fallkniven Taiga knives are distinctive hunting and all-round knives for the demanding user. A strong blade in laminated cobalt steel (lam. CoS) does not only mean a stable function, you notice quite quickly that the edge holds the sharpness really well without being brittle.

The reason is fine, well heat treated and tempered steel but also the convex shaped edge that is not only strong but also wood-sharp.

The basis of the Taiga’s strength lies in the Lam CoS, laminated Cobalt Steel, which is extremely strong and holds the sharp edge very well, and also in the well-thought-out construction in which break zones have been eliminated. Together with the hand-shaped convex edge, the X-Knife Sheath is a concept that beats everything else in the world in terms of safety and comfort.

TH1 is a handmade knife with a Handle in the very exclusive Desert Ironwood (lat. Olneya tesota). This species is not listed in CITES Annexes or the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species and is therefore legal to use. Like all natural materials, it varies in texture and color, making each knife an individual creation. A beautifully veined pattern may look attractive but a straight, patterned handle is actually stronger. Desert ironwood, which grows in the southwestern United States, has a somewhat peculiar quality – it is heavier than water, its density is 1.2 kg/dm³ which means it will sink. If you want to maintain or even increase the luster in the wood, treat it with log oil, furniture oil, bench oil or other type of wood oil containing linseed oil.

The fact that the blade goes full width through the handle (so-called full tang blade) results in very strong and reliable construction and gives a comfortable weight to the knife.

Together with an extremely hard and resilient special laminated CoS Cobalt Steel Blade, it means that the knife can be used for all kinds of normal - but also demanding - work. For its size, it has yet to be bettered!

What is a bit special about these knives is the very secure plastic Zytel Sheath which is thoughtfully designed for safety and easy access - it has both a transport lock (the folding bracket with a strap) and a working safety detail that allows the knife to be securely in place until you decide to use it. The specially designed Locking System ensures that the knife is properly locked in the sheath. It works regardless of weather, whether wind, sand or snow.

Please note! There can be some variation in pattern and shades on the wooden handles.
