GreenMagusMight want to learn more about knife and handle materials before calling it cheap plastic. This knife is designed for function, not fashion. High grade thermoplastics like Thermorum and Zytel are very tough materials, and not cheap in any way. They actually probably could have made more profit per knife by using wood.

KadosExactly. This is more of a survival knife, made with materials that don't need too much taking care out in the wild. Leather sheaths can be superb, but in time they might have issues.
Jdg623Also, the price in the previous drop for the S1 pro was $270, now it is $310. This was 1 month ago.
You can get all 3 of these knives cheaper online than this drop from reputable, known knife dealers.
As is typical for 'DROP' these days, this is NOT a deal... You can buy these at Chicago Knifeworks for $207, free shipping. I miss the old MassDrop days when we got good prices on custom products. These days, most of DROP is just retail pricing on commercial goods. What's the point of being here?? I have faith that they will improve... Otherwise I'll be unsubscribing.
UncleMaliceIt seems lately the strategy is to buy a volume of $100 items for $50 each, then sell to us for $99; we save a buck, but the potential was thee to save a lot more....
Seems DROP would increase their profits by snagging a lot more buyers by lowering their price..
darkjedidaveyou're not comparing apples to apples; this drop is for the pro models, which have better steel than the standard models and comes with a presentation case and whetstone.
I pretty much figured that any Fallkniven purchased through Massdrop will not have warranties honored by Fallkniven. It's part of the reason for the better-than-any-internet retailer price.
I'm cool with that as the quality control is very high with Fallkniven and very seldom does a dud slip through. I guess I'm taking a chance, but I accept the risk.
My original question refers to the new "deals" by Fallkniven where one gets to purchase the PRO version knives cheaper, but the entire package is not as comprehensive as the original PRO (knife, Zytel sheath, DC-4 stone, big watertight box, lifetime warranty)
PaLeeHI,
I didnt mention this, but I knew Massdrop doesn't buy fakes, so I did end up buying the A1z on the last drop, as I knew it would be genuine, and the price was good (I just wish I could have warrantied it, though)
Take care

RecyclerairNO they don't!!
I enquired personally to Fallkniven, and they replied to me it's not warranted, as DROP is considered a "third" party seller....
RecyclerairI had an issue with my F1 a while back, I noticed that my brand new knife had a scratch. To me that’s no big deal, a few days later I saw several more scratches near the same spot. It turns out, there was a steel burr inside the sheath that was scratching the knife every time I pull it out. I contacted fallkniven and they sent out a new sheath no questions asked.
Not at these prices. The A1 sold out during the last drop so I didn't get one. Now it's $70 more expensive. I can buy all three knives on-line at several reputable dealers for less than these prices.
JE87048I know this was a year ago but want to inform anyone reading this comment. These are the pro models so they are almost 3 times the price of the regular models. These offer a better handle, much more expensive blade steel, a high quality whetstone, and a presentation box. Just to inform those who didn't know.
Stt5gokyuI did a little more research on the manufacturer's site, it appears the pro models all come with a sharpening stone, waterproof case as well as the sheath (source: https://www.fallkniven.com/en/knife/s1pro/ )
In addition this question was asked a year ago and answered in the affirmative if you look below at the post by ISK. Massdrop's return policy is, "We only offer returns for items that arrive damaged, defective, not-as-advertised, or are missing components. "
In the event that it does not include these, I think the picture coupled with the previous answers as well as the manufacturer site would qualify this as "...not-as-advertised, or are missing components."
I think I am going to join, and if it does not include these I am going to return it based on these facts and if they don't agree I will let my credit card company take it up with them.
It would be nice if they had people that could actually do their job though.
