Thomas,
Fallkniven F1 is on my wish list also because I like the convex grind. I was not aware that it is so large change in the bevel angle along the edge.
Recently I was repairing broken tip of an old stabbing weapon also with convex saber grind.
The history of this shortened sabre is interesting. It was originally probably gendarmerie saber used in Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy in the second half of the 19 century. When the owner died and the family had not the necessary license, the saber was officially broken. From the broken part a shorter stabbing weapon was made. This is especially well visible on the shortened sabretache. The total length now is 40 cm (16") only.
