New Fallknivens

[Alberta Ed]

I see that Fallkniven has some new fixed blades out, a hunting knife (H1) in a Scandinavian pattern (looks like a puukko on steroids), and a couple of kitchen knives, all in the VG10 steel. Have you seen them yet? Would appreciate any comments. thanx from snowy Alberta (almost mid-May, and southern Alberta got a foot or two of snow the last two days).

Tom Lagan of LagaNet told me on the phone that there's an H1 "puukko" in the works, and a chef's knife, and a santoku, and a double-edged pointy thing, that perhaps most of us would only use for assassinating junk mail, called the Garm{/i]. Garm, in Norse mythology, is a hellhound.

I was about to say something about how more information would follow in the fullness fo time, but, I just clicked on Fallkniven's web page, where there had been no news the other day, and behold there was news!

Estimated delivery dates are, as always, approximate, and prices in Swedish Kroners translate today at SEK 9.09 to one US Dollar.
