Enjoy the Swedish Forest Fixed Blade Knife, Stabilized Curly Birch

Swedish Forest fixed knife with stabilized curly birch handle, Casström

With a stabilized curly birch handle, which not only looks very elegant but is also water-repellent and washable. Impact-resistant, these knives set a new, winning standard in the knife industry. The wood is treated here using vacuum injection with a mixture of hardened methacrylates. This process increases the density of the wood and makes the entire handle impervious to moisture, crack-resistant, and impact-resistant.

This sturdy full-tang knife is suitable for a wide range of uses in hunting, fishing, and classic bushcraft tasks in the woods or outdoors. It is extremely robust and equally ideal for skinning game, filleting fish, or woodworking. The blade is approximately 10 cm long and made of approximately 3.5 mm thick Sandvik 14C28N, a Swedish stainless steel with a Rockwell hardness of 58-59 HRC, specially developed for knives. It is very sharp, completely flat-ground, and has a satin finish. The combination of steel and grinding results in a knife that cuts effortlessly, performs excellently in all kinds of different tasks, and has good edge retention, yet can still be easily resharpened. Due to the shallow angle and thinness behind the edge, the type of sharpening selected here is not suitable for so-called "batoning" or "prying," but is designed for efficient cutting.

The knife comes with a durable brown sheath made of 3mm thick vegetable-tanned leather. The sheath has an extra-wide belt loop, a drainage hole, and a grommet to accommodate a leg strap.

Steel information: 14C28N is the latest development in Sandvik's renowned knife steel collection. Its optimized composition results in a unique combination of excellent properties in terms of edge retention (stability, sharpness, and edge retention), hardness, and corrosion resistance. Because this steel is heat-treatable, even better wear resistance can be achieved compared to previous steel grades without affecting the microstructure. The blade is therefore relatively easy to sharpen, yet still offers excellent edge resistance to chipping, nicks, and folded edges (so-called edge rolling ).
