After a lot of looking and reading I ended up going with a Bark River Canadian Special in 3V. At first I was put off by the finger grooves on the handle but the more I heard from people that own the knife and how much they like it I took to plung on it. I received the knife last week and while I have only used it a couple of times (skinning and wood work) I could not be happier with my choice. It did cost a bit more than the H1 or F1 but I was glad to be able to purchase an American made product. I am not saying that I will not by a Fallkniven later but for now this knife seemed to fit me better. Thank you all for comments and advice.
