Casstrom Woodsman Knife - 3.54" Blade Bog Oak Handle with Fire Steel

The Casstrom Woodsman Knife is a classic wilderness knife designed by English custom knife maker Roger Harrington. Proper full-tang knife with a blade measuring approx. 9cm long , a 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.

The blade is made of c.4mm thick Bohler K720 high carbon tool steel, making the blade extremely durable with heavy use such as log-splitting, or so called "batoning", without making the knife too heavy or uncomfortable to carry. 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.
