The perfect knife?

Hi all, I’ve been using a fallkniven f1 knife which I really like. The blade shape and thickness is great and I love the convex grind but it’s a little long. Anyone using something similar but with a shorter blade?
 
I was going to recommend the Cold Steel Master Hunter, but it is in fact longer than the F1. The Taiga TH2 is spot on though, great find by ACM.

The perfect knife is a sharp one!

matters not if it costs £10 or £500

personally can’t see the point in paying all the money for a custom knife when a £10 will do
 
All quite nice looking knives but they’re all drop points. The f1 is more of a filleting knife, hence the length, I suppose. It’s a little thicker and stiffer than the usual filleter though. Perfect for red deer but I’d like a shorter one for the roe. I might just make one.

I would rather have one that’s £10 than one that’s £150 if it’s the right shape and stays sharp!

Are you sure you don’t mean F2?

F1 is definitely not a filleting knife!

I’d say the F1 is close to being the perfect all round stalking knife. I’ve used it on roe, sika, red and fallow (and trout and rabbit) and find it difficult to fault.

Ah! Yes. Sorry everyone. I do mean the f2.

I do however find the standard 4 inch blade a little wanting in some situations so the extra inch on the PHK makes sense. For a shorter blade I like the Enzo Trapper 95 (wood handle on mine) which is great if just dealing with Roe 4EB8820B-FDE8-479E-8062-26FF371F5C12.jpeg
 
This is the one I have and like. Any recommendations for a shorter version?
