Woodsman's Fixed Knife with Bog Oak Handle, Casstroöm

The Woodsman from Swedish manufacturer Casstroöm 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 survival and bushcraft courses for individuals and military personnel in Sussex, England.

The approximately 9 cm long blade of this sturdy, full-tang bushcraft knife is made of approximately 4 mm thick Sleipner steel. It is therefore extremely durable and perfect for tasks requiring high levels of stress, such as splitting wood or batoning. The knife remains 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 handle is straight and has rounded edges, making it suitable for as many hand sizes as possible. It is made from 5,000-year-old bog oak wood harvested in England and has a rough surface structure. The color of bog oak can vary from deep black to dark brown. The set also includes a leather strap, and black liners have been installed between the handle scales and the steel to increase the knife's lifespan.

The knife comes with a durable, frame-stitched sheath made of cognac brown vegetable-tanned leather. The sheath has a belt loop and a drainage hole.

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 with a cloth immediately after use. If stored for a long period and not in use, it should be treated with a suitable protective oil or wax.
