This person shouldnt be allowed to handle or carry any knive at all and should be treated immediately for his obvious mental illness. Hope you get well.

Don’t know, but trying to read mails like this makes me feel good buying European quality…

Ha! I bet you’d accept a knife for “testing.” This comment is truly hilarious. “Badass knife of the week” is marketed to gang members. Wow. Look, no one buying knives from Knife Depot are gang members. Those guys buy their shit from the corner store. Knife Depot markets to serious knife colloctors and entusiasts. Thier “Badass” marketing speaks not to the macho but is a tounge in cheek poke at all of us knife nerds out there who actually spend the cash required to purchase exclusive products. As to the quality, I own a handful of cold steel products—and I own Fallkniven. Cold Steel is well made for thier price point and fill and rightfully deserved place in the market, but they don’t compare to Fallkniven. The design, materials, construction, quality standards, fit and finish… All are far superior. Fallkniven are still family owned and operated in Sweden. Their products are expertly designed and made by skilled craftsmen in Japan. My chef’s knife was made by Konosuke in Japan and it’s the finest knife I own. Japan has been known the world over for centuries for having a tradition of fine bladesmithing. The Swedes have a wonderfull tradition in designing survival gear. I fine match is you asked me.

I have carried a Cold Steel SRK for a good three decades, and carry the SRK with the Japanese steel blade, as my every day carry knife, now. I’m sure it is every bit as good, and is less than half the price. Those customers who broke down and bought the Fallkniven despite the outrageous price where fools. But it does have a fancy foreign name to brag about around the campfire, but how will it perform on the mighty GRIZZLY? My SRK’s have proven themselves time and time again in the Idaho Wilderness. The name Fallkniven sounds like it was designed to clean fish in Sweden. Maybe it is a German name and was designed to murder people for the next generation Nazi’s. Maybe Fallkniven in German means “Rabbit skinner” or “Rat Skinner” or “Jew Gutter”. Just joking around. Maybe we should promote American designed and made products. I know some of Cold Steel’s knives are made in Japan, but to American standards. Why should anyone pay a premium to buy a name, like Spyderco, Remington, Case, Browning, instead of a good functional product. Many of those are being made in China, Taiwan, and Pakistan of cheap materials, but selling at higher prices for their name recognition. It is time to make them come back to good American manufacturers or go out of business. I have Case knives made decades ago, in American, which are wonderful. I, also, have some Case knives I recently bought, and they are junk. I have some Rough Rider knives made in Korea, which are much better knives, than the new version Case knives.

I don’t know who you are marketing to. With you “Bad Ass Knife of the Week”, it makes me think you are marketing to the Macho Rambo want-to-be’s, and the inner city gang members, to entice them to a fancy killing knife to roam the streets with and gut innocent citizens for their wallets.

If this is your sales to promote the sale of knives to the criminals in our country, then you are not a company I want to do business with.

If not, I would like to receive an email explaining you “Bad Ass Knife of the Week” strategy, and who you hope to attract as customers.

Most of you are selling knives, like you are selling shoes to women. It’s all about what looks good to the gangs out there, but will they hold up or will the blades break when needed, because they were made in China or Germany. Germany has a good reputation for knife steel, but only for cooking knives. German steel is too brittle for a good fighting knife, when going up against the mighty GRIZZLY. Japanese and American steel is strong enough, so why not promote those knives. Maybe they sell themselves, and over priced knives, like these Fallkniven knives need help to get them to attract the foolish. I wouldn’t even invest that much money to give a Fallkniven knife a try.

It’s like selling these little orange knives, with the Bear Gryllis name on them. Who is Bear Gryllis and who cares. This Indian (Native American) made a tomahawk out of a plow part, and I’ll bet it is every bit as good as Bear Gryllis’ little orange compact hatchets.

This old Indian would never buy a Fallkniven knife at those prices, but if you would like an honest field test, from an outdoorsman, I would accept a Fallkniven A1 and S1 knives from you to compare to my SRK’s.
