R2 Scout FNR2Z

I've been wanting to get a Fallkniven for almost two years now but never pulled the trigger. I've bought Benchmades, Ka Bars, Mora Gerbergs and so on. This is by far the nicest knife I own. It is very robust. Sporting Elmax powdered steel the price its at now is a value. I'm overall happy with the purchase. It's extremely sharp. And the balance is perfect.

After 20 years of buying knives to find the perfect fixed blade knife I finally can stop buying knives. This knife is absolutely perfect in every wayFor an EDC fixed blade knife. Handle is very comfortable. The blade is easy to keep shaving sharp with a strop or a black Arkansas stone.There is however one thing about this purchase that wasn’t perfect. The sheath is just barely ok. I ordered a custom leather sheath but haven’t gotten it yet. I have a condor compact kephart and am using the sheath for this knife instead of the Fallkniven sheath and the condor sheathIs much better in my opinion. I will never carry any other fixed blade knife not that have this R2 scout.

As I've previously stated in reviews here on other verified purchases of fallkniven, this blade as all made by fallkniven is great. I beat them. I love them. But if all you want to do it make 1 stick fires( feathersticks etc.), use hunting for skiing and procuring meat from tendon/bone, I have dollar store knives which perform as adequately as these, sometimes better. They are over built, I always slim down grind for better performance. If purchasing, by a strop and search virtuovice on youtube to learn proper stropping. I have no affiliation with with him nor have we met or communicated.

Great knife . Fast delivery and authentic merchendise.

I got an R2 and a VG10 F1, to compare them. I liked the R2 a lot better. The handle fit my hands better(glove size 10.5-11). The scandi-vex grind cuts better than the F1. The sheath is more secure and convenient. The size is better suited to my lifestyle and how I use knives. The F1 is still a really nice knife, just didn't suit me as well as the R2 Scout.
