Fallkniven F1 Open Top Leather Sheath
Heinnie’s are now stocking the Leather Open Top Sheath for the Fallkniven F1.
This is a sheath some people prefer for bushcraft in the North part of Sweden, as it does not have flaps or straps to get in the way, especially handy if you are using the Fallkniven F1 a lot and constantly re-sheathing and unsheathing the knife.
The Leather Open top sheath has a permanent fixed “Dangler” for riding low on the belt which means you can wear a rucksack belt over the top and still have access to your knife if you need it. It also helps prevent the knife/sheath from digging in to you if you bend or sit and brushes out-of-the-way when moving through heavy vegetation , preventing snagging and noise which is handy if you are hunting. It can also be worn as a tip down neck carry Mors Kohanski style with the addition of some cord placed through the loop directly above the knife, which attaches to the dangler.
Fallkniven F1 Open Top Leather Sheath. There is room on top to get your first finger above the rivet, to aid drawing the F1 knife out of the sheath one handed
The Fallkniven F1 is held in place by friction alone and a vigorous shaking of the sheathed knife hasn’t worked its way loose as yet on mine. That said, pulling the knife from the sheath is not easy one-handed either and the sheath and knife get pulled up together when trying to draw the knife out. However, there is enough room on the top edge of the sheath to use your first finger to hold the sheath and apply leverage to separate the two, not dissimilar to the thumb ramp on the Zytel F1 sheath and just needs a change of technique. The bonus of this method is that as the F1 leaves the open top sheath you already have your fingers wrapped around the handle!
The sheath is sold as an addition only and not sold as a package with the Fallkniven F1 knife, meaning you either have to buy a Fallkniven F1 knife with the closed top sheath a prefered style of David Canterbury) or the Zytel sheath (the latter some people either love or hate) that in many ways is far better sheath for survival/compactness and would be my preference for using the F1 as dual purpose knife. As a survival knife I mount the F1 in the Zytel sheath and the F1 as a Bushcraft knife with the open top leather sheath. Simples!
The Fallkniven leather open top sheath is very good quality leather and construction, that I would have expected to cost more on that point alone. You do have to be careful though, coming from my point of use with the zytel sheath means I have nicked the leather sheath a few times putting the knife back in the sheath, with the four inch razor blade of the F1 and putting it into the sheath at an angle will cut the inside of the sheath up when you are not used to it. This is just user error of course!
This is a great addition to the Fallkniven F1 owner who wants to use the F1 for bushcraft with a traditional looking sheath
Fallkniven F1 Open Top Leather Sheath available in the UK From Heinnie Haynes and at the time of this post is under £19.00 plus P&P

Chris Caine and I talk about plant identification and foraging during the Bushcraft Show 2014, Derbyshire UK
When respected survival instructors at the Bushcraft Show tell you they learnt loads by going on Chris’s course and say “you must go on one” you have to take note.
Chris spent 15 years travelling around the UK living from hedgerows and woodland and building shelters as he travelled. So I am looking forward to going on a course with Chris Caine myself in the near future

Quick Travel Tip – Conflict Countries
If you are having to stay in a county where conflict has broken out and you are in a hotel or similar try moving or getting a room on the first floor, it’s less further to jump if you need an emergency exit.
However make sure the view from your window is of a side street as less fighting and large artillery is often less intense on smaller streets

Your Cell Phone is Not Always Your Friend
English: Two women text messaging on their cell phones in a coffee shop on the campus of California State University, Fullerton. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
In February, journalists Remi Ochlick and Marie Colvin were killed when shells struck the press center that they and other journalists were using to transmit their stories; the Syrian army may have used satellite signals from the center to target it.
This is quite a useful guide in the way it shows how cell phones or Satellite phones can be tracked, and although written for journalists, it applies to any one who is being hunted
