Casström Woodsman mes

A classic wilderness knife designed by custom knife maker Roger Harrington, England.

Proper full-tang knife with a blade measuring approx. 9cm long, straight and fairly round handle made to suit both large and small hands. The leather cord for the handle and a strong deep pocket leather sheath is included.

Uddeholm Sleipner carbon/tool steel with high carbon content. The chemical composition allows it to be tempered to a high hardness with retained ductility (ability to deform without breakage) and toughness while being easy to grind and capable of obtaining a very sharp and durable edge. Due to some chromium content, it will resist corrosion to some degree compared to a regular carbon steel. Still, the blade should be dried after use and protected with oil or wax when stored in a high humidity environment.

The knife has a Scandinavian grind to make it very robust at the same time easy to carve wood with and easy to sharpen on a small flat whetstone/sharpener in the forest. The knife is a really good all-round tool for field use.

Fire Steel included in some models.
