>>2507502Ah, OK. Yeah, I was looking at 3 and 7. I've never seen those before. I think maybe they are early prototypes.
Nice collection. The S1 has always been a favourite of mine. Perfect size for moto-camping. Not too big, not too small. What's your favourite?
Picrel is made by the same people who make Fallkniven knives: Hattori knives from Japan. It's called the Hattori S-51. It was commissioned by a military supplier to the ASEAN navy's (Asian version of NATO). They found a box of unassembled blades from the contract a number of years later, completed them, and sold them to the public. I managed to get one. The steel is quite soft due to it needing to be extremely stainless and tough = soft. But it's probably my favourite knife of all mine.
Check out this website, and you'll notice they are very similar to Fallkniven. That's because they are.
