ESEE-4 & Fallkniven F1 - featherstick carving comparison

The carving ability ESEE4 is generally good ("bushcraft wise") and will make me able to prepare fire tinder by carving feathersticks. Frost mora's is of course better at carving but they lack other abilities which the ESEE4 has (choosen a knife is allways a comprimise - a combo is often the best)

The choil on the ESEE-4 makes pressure/"force" carving more difficult because of the lack of handle in the choil area.

The Fallkniven F1 is some what better at this because it dose not have a choil and makes it alot more comfortable to carve with more force.

That said the ESEE-4 dose a fine job but more harder woods (eg. knotty oak, beech) will be difficult to carve feathersticks/fuzzies from ... because of the choil.
