Fixed blade Swedish Forest knife with handle made of curly birch and matching fire steel, Casström

This great knife is designed as a multi-purpose knife for hunting and for classic bushcraft or general outdoor tasks. Use the nature designed. The blade is approximately 10cm long and is made from approximately 3.8mm thick Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, a Swedish knife steel that has been heat treated and hardened to a Rockwell hardness of 57-59 HRC. This razor-sharp blade features a Scandinavian grind and a satin finish. The combination of steel and grinding results in a very stable knife, yet has a high level of sharpenability and can be easily re-sharpened.

The handle is made of curly birch. The wood has been treated with a traditional Scandinavian varnish based on linseed oil. Black coatings were installed between the handle scales and the steel to increase the life of the knife.

The knife is delivered with a durable, welded sheath made of 3mm thick vegetable-tanned full-grain cowhide in cognac brown. The sheath features an extra-wide belt loop, a draw hole, an eyelet for attaching a lanyard, and, on this particular model, a bracer holder that houses a bracer with a visually coordinated handle.

Steel information: 14C28N is the latest development of 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 razor-sharpness), hardness and corrosion resistance. Because this steel can be heat treated, even better wear resistance can be achieved compared to previous steel grades without affecting the microstructure. The blade is therefore relatively easy to sharpen, but at the same time has excellent edge resistance in case of chips, nicks and bent edges (so-called edge rolling ).
