I agree with all of Vic's above statement.


That said, I am a pretty fair fan of VG-10 and honestly probably prefer it over any 154CM I have owned so far. Jerry might bring 154CM close - ?????


But, yes the F1 would appear to be very similar in over-all size.

From specs and speculation on the picture, I am guessing the Hairy Carry has just a little bit smaller blade and a little bit larger handle than the F1. I am pretty confident I will be good with those dimensions on the Hairy Carry ... I am also fine with the F1.

I can't say anything bad about the F1. It is a GREAT knife.

But, I can tell you I have the micarta version of the F1 and the micarta F1 "Usually" costs quite a lot more than the Hairy Carry.

I made a "Great" deal (steal) on mine at about $125 - $135 if I remember correctly (?????).

But, it usually sells for around $175.00 - $190.00.

Again, G10 costs more than micarta.

The micarta F1 is an LE. Fallkniven's LE is a pretty close to mirror polished blade and very smooth polished micarta, white liners and a nickel silver bolster.


But still, maybe that helps put the price of the Hairy Carry into perspective for you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
