Swedish Forest fixed knife with black micarta handle, Casström

This sturdy full-tang knife is suitable for a wide range of uses, from hunting to fishing to 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 is made from 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, 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 is still easily resharpened. Due to the shallow angle and thinness behind the cutting edge, the type of sharpening selected here is not suitable for so-called "batoning" or "prying," but is designed for efficient cutting.

The handle is made of black micarta (a composite of linen and epoxy resin) and is therefore resistant to moisture, cracks, and impacts. Brown coatings have been installed between the handle scales and the steel to extend the knife's lifespan.

The knife comes with a durable black 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 offers excellent edge resistance to chipping, nicks, and folded edges (so-called edge rolling ).
