The lack of moving parts is, in theory, less likely to break.

For many the Fällkniven F1 is the first introduction to a knife with a convex edge.

The blade is a wharncliffe shape with a high hollow grind and an extremely sharp tip.

And with the A/C mod below this becomes a moot issue anyway.

A camp knife is defined as a medium sized knife with less robust construction and a blade that ranges from 5 inches to 8 in length with a balance point near the hilt and a flat grind or a hollow grind.

In effect, this stage is delicate and requires extreme manual dexterity to obtain an effective and sharpe edge and also be symetrical on both sides.

As a result, it can be honed to a much finer edge than a saber grind but will hold an edge better than a hollow grind.

While there are several different types of blade grinds, the two best suited for survival knives are the saber grind and the flat grind.

Throwing knives are usually made out of stainless steel with a distinct bevelled edge that allows it to penetrate simply by way of not only the air but in addition the hardest of woods.
