Woodsman fixed knife with curly birch handle and matching fire-resistant steel, Casström

The Woodsman from Swedish manufacturer Cassström is a classic forestry knife. It was designed by Roger Harrington, a British custom knife maker and experienced outdoor enthusiast who has run his company , Bison Bushcraft, for twenty years. He offers bushcraft and survival courses for individuals and military personnel in Sussex, England.

The approximately 9 cm long blade of this robust, full-tang bushcraft knife is made of high-quality, approximately 4 mm thick Sleipner tool steel (carbon steel) from the Swedish company Uddeholm with a Rockwell hardness of 59-60 HRC. It is therefore extremely durable and perfect for tasks requiring high levels of stress, such as splitting wood or so-called batoning . The knife is still lightweight and easy to transport. With its Scandinavian cut, the blade is very stable and can be easily sharpened with a small, flat whetstone in the forest or outdoors. This knife is simply an excellent all-round tool for use in the field.

The curly birch handle is straight and has rounded edges, making it suitable for a wide range of hand sizes. It comes with a leather strop, and black liners have been installed between the handle and the steel to increase the knife's lifespan.

The knife comes with a durable, welded sheath made of vegetable-tanned leather in a cognac brown color. The sheath features a belt loop, a drainage hole, and, on this particular model, a firebox holder that houses a firebox with a visually coordinated handle.

Please note: If the blade is left or stored damp or wet, it will tarnish due to its low chromium content. To prevent rust from forming, it should always be wiped dry immediately after use, and if stored for a longer period and not in use, it should be treated with a suitable protective oil or wax.
