Swedish Forest Fixed Blade Knife with Blue Stabilized Curly Birch Handle, Casström

With a stabilised curly birch handle, which not only looks elegant but is also water-repellent, washable and impact-resistant, these are top knives that set new standards in the knife industry. The wood is treated here by vacuum injection with a mixture of hardened methacrylates. This process increases the density of the wood and makes the entire handle insensitive to moisture, crack- and shock-resistant. For this particular model, blue colour pigments were added to the mixture, ensuring an even more attractive appearance.

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

The knife is delivered with a durable sheath made of 3mm thick vegetable tanned leather. The sheath has an extra wide belt loop, a draw hole and an eyelet to accommodate a leg strap.

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 ).
