Faca Casström No.10 Swedish Forest knife

This is a classic design. It’s a great knife, good steel, and well made sheath. With some care and maintenance, this will last a lifetime. Casstrom makes some of the best production knives. It’s hard to beat this price too.

Very good knife, god edge retention and fit and finish

This is my third Casström knife and i absolutely love them. On all, the quality and workmanship is excellent (i believe they are made in Spain even though a Swedish brand). The fit and finish of the handle scales and blade grind, wonderful. The No.10 Forest Knife I purchased is with the sleipner steel, which i believe Casström are using as an upgrade to the K720 steel used before. The blade, 10 cm long, 3.8 mm thick and 27 mm tall with a Scandi grind came very sharp out of the box. I have not used this knife yet but from experience i have been very happy with sleipner steel knives in the past, generally the edge retention holding very well. The handle ergonomics are excellent, the length being great for size 10 hands. The green micarta scales are slightly textured, giving a bit more grip, and beautifully formed. The black leather sheath is thick, robust and very well made (even has a proper drainage hole), however, i would suggest a dangler as the handle does ride higher than the belt loop. The knife sits very snug and secure in the sheath. Value for money for the whole package (Knife and Sheath) is excellent, especially when comparing it with its smaller brother, the "Woodsman" in the same steel, but only fairly good when comparing to similar style knives, native to and also manufactured in Spain. Recommended!

Sehr achönes Messer mit äusserst angenehmen Griffschalen auch für grössere Hände sehr gut geeignet. Die Messerbreite und der Anschliff machen das Messer zu einem super Allrounder. Bim sehr zufrieden.

美しいナイフで、ハンドルのカーブが手にしっくりと馴染む。 素晴らしいナイフです。

Solid och kvalitativ, tål lite stryk och ergonomiskt handtag.
