Where to buy Fallkniven U1

[Renegade Master]

Hi all

I think I have pretty much made up my mind on a EDC. The U1 seems like a nice little knife for reasonable money. i would really like a Shing, but can't afford one at the mo.

I have had a look around online, but can't find many places that sell them. Can anybody recommend any online stores that sell them.

Cheers

www.heinnie.com depending on what time you order it will be with you the next day ;)

Cheers for that

I did have a look at heinnie, but they seemed expensive, at least compared to ebay which is the only other place I found had them.

All the best

Nice knife.

[Noddy]

Cheaper from the US companies/ebay - though customs, etc migh equal all that out. So you could easily be better off buying from Heinnie.

The U2 was one of the first knives that I bought with any conscious knowledge of what I was doing. Of its ilk, I still think it is the best by many many leagues

(it is not with out a slight degree of discomfort that I admit to owning three of the little perishers now)

Just did a little check

cheapest ebay.com U2s are $65-70 = £36.50 - £39.50

There are people on ebay.co.uk selling the U2 for £41.95 plus £2.95 postage. (£44.90)

Heinnie is £47, postage free, and a national treasure deserving of everyone's support!!!

Yep. Heinnie. Great service! 18 of my 19 Fallknivens I've got at Heinnie's.

Kind regards,

Price has gone up the U1 was around £80 when I got my first now its closer to £100 :(

you could keep an eye on here - stick a wanted up you never know - i've sold 2 on here myself :)

[Noddy]

Ah! I knew I was numberlexic to a certain extent, but that is ridiculous! I better go see the vet.

Std. U1 is $116 - which is about £65 - which puts a different complexion on things

Sold my U1 - didn't get along with it

[Corso]

I liked them but i felt they were over priced - found nothing I couldn't do with a ALOX SAk blade

Thanks for all the replies guys.

Has anybody else got recommendations of a nice EDC other than the U1?

Cheers

i've got a U1, and a UKPK, but tbh, i find myself using the Victorinox Solo i got in the summer santa thing.
EDC to me is something that cuts well that i don't mind losing - like Corso said, an SAK will cover most things for ordinary edc

Good idea. I have bought from Mike before. Will send him an email.

Hi again guys

Does anybody know if Wandering Blade is on holiday or unwell? Have sent a couple of emails but not had a reply.

Cheers

He has been banned here.

Have you considered more traditional folders
A few nice ones have been in Members Classified recently
Or PM Pennillion and see if he has anything he's looking to dispose of:)

[Renegade Master]

Thanks for that Fluffy. I was also looking at Shing slippys, which are absolutely gorgeous, but too expensive for me at the moment. Other than that, I couldn't really find anything I liked as much as the U1. As I will be using it as an EDC for opening boxes, etc, I thought I would go with a manufacturer I had heard of, and who have had good reviews.

I have now heard form Mike (Wandering Blade) and will be ordering a U1 today. He also sells F1 blade blanks, so I think I will get one of those too and make my own handle.

Cheers

Dan
