Choosing a Casström knife
The No.8 Swedish Forest Knife is the compact option in the Swedish Forest Knife family. Its blade measures 8 cm and suits close work such as whittling, woodcarving and food preparation. The larger No.10 Swedish Forest Knife is a versatile outdoor knife for bushcraft and general camp use, including carving and preparing wood. Both models are offered in different configurations, so check the individual listing for its exact steel, grind, handle and sheath. The Lars Fält Knife, developed with Swedish survival expert Lars Fält, has a 115 mm blade and a full-tang build for bushcraft and woodcraft tasks.
Materials and construction
Steel and grind vary by model. The No.8 uses recycled Swedish 14C28N stainless steel, which offers corrosion resistance and is straightforward to sharpen. Selected No.10 configurations use stainless steel, while others use non-stainless tool steel; the exact choice is specified by configuration. The Lars Fält Knife uses non-stainless Uddeholm Sleipner carbon steel, so dry and oil the blade after use to help prevent rust. A Scandi grind, found on these models, has a broad, flat bevel that is easy to place against a sharpening stone and useful for controlled wood carving. Selected No.10 versions also have a flat grind.
Handle options include natural woods such as curly birch and durable composite Micarta, depending on the model. Full-tang construction means the blade steel extends through the handle, while a leather sheath provides belt carry on many configurations. Some models and configurations differ, so consult the product details before choosing.
Design and manufacture
Casström develops its knives in Sweden, and its products are assembled in small factories in Europe. The company says each knife receives final inspection at its Lapland base, where the workshop may fine-tune the handle or grind. This reflects the distinction between Swedish design and the European manufacture of individual knives.
