Woodsman, bog oak with fire resistant steel, casström

The Woodsman from Swedish manufacturer Casström is a classic forestry knife. It was designed by Roger Harrington, a British custom knife maker and seasoned outdoor enthusiast who has been running 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 approx. 4 mm thick Sleipner steel with a Rockwell hardness of 58-60 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 remains light and easy to carry. With its Scandinavian cut, the blade is very stable and can be easily sharpened with a small flat sharpening stone in the forest or outdoors. This knife is simply an excellent all-round tool for field use.

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 colour of bog oak can vary from deep black to dark brown. The equipment also includes a leather strap and black linings have been installed between the handle scales and the steel to increase the lifespan of the knife.

The knife is delivered with a durable, welded sheath made of vegetable tanned leather in cognac brown. 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 formation it should always be wiped dry immediately after use and if stored for a longer period of time and not in use it should be treated with a suitable protective oil or wax.
