Enjoy the Swedish Forest Fixed Blade Knife, Curly Birch + Firesteel

Fixed blade knife with curly birch handle and matching fire steel, Casström

This excellent knife is designed as a multipurpose knife for hunting and for classic bushcraft or general outdoor tasks. Use the way nature intended. The blade is approximately 10 cm long and is made of approximately 3.8 mm 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 sharpness and is easily resharpened.

The handle is made of curly birch. The wood has been treated with a traditional Scandinavian linseed oil-based varnish. Black coatings have been applied between the handle scales and the steel to extend the knife's lifespan.

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

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 offers excellent edge resistance to chipping, nicks, and folded edges (so-called edge rolling ).
