FALLKNIVEN U1 3G SLIPJOINT FOLDER COCOBOLO
 |
 |
 |
This folding knife is a bit special it combines modern steel technology
with a hundred year old, folding knife design. Mod. U1 lacks a blade lock. This
means that, in many countries, it will most likely be considered as a pocket knife,
and therefore be allowed to be carried in public places, with the exception for
restaurants, sports arenas and school grounds. The blade is instead held in place
with an springsteel key, a technique which has been in use for more than 100 years
and which ensures that the blade does not fold. The blade is made of laminate
powder steel, Fallkniven's famous 3G-steel, and this guarantees edge retention
beyond the ordinary. The handle is made from stainless liners with the sides in
beautiful cocobolo, ocean blue, or ochre yellow, smooth bone. It is delivered
with a slimfit black cordura sheath. With nail-nicks in both sides of the blade
back, the knife is completely symmetrical and is as easily handled by both left-handed
and right-handed users.
A folding knife of necessity
can never be as strong as a sheath knife, since it contains several moving parts.
A folding knife is a precision instrument, which should be treated with respect
and thought. If a folding knife is subjected to heavy use, it will inevitably
result in a skewed blade with unreliable blade locking, and no guarantees cover
this. A modern folding knife should be cleaned regularly with warm water and
a mild detergent. Oil and fat should as far as possible be avoided, since today's
knives have self-lubricating bearings. Fat and similar substances attract dust
and dirt and increase wear rather than reducing it. The simplest way to sharpen
the knife is with a fine diamond whetstone, and to obtain that final razor sharpness,
use a ceramic whetstone, see their DC3 and DC4 combination whetstones.
Fallkniven offer's a two-year
warranty covering defects in materials and in manufacture, i.e. faults that
occur during manufacture but which are not noticed until the knife is used.
Fallkniven repairs or replace the knife. The warranty is void if the knife
is used incorrectly the knife is intended for cutting with and is not
for twisting, bending, chopping or hitting. Discolouring caused by blood, salt-water,
or other corrosive substances is not covered by the warranty, neither is a broken
tip. The warranty does not include the sheath.
