Casström - Swedish Forest Oak + Fire Steel

This great knife is designed as a multipurpose knife for hunting and classic bushcraft tasks. designed for general outdoor use. The blade is approx. 10 cm long and made of approx. Made of 60 mm thick O720 tool steel (Böhler K772060), a carbon steel that has been heat treated and hardened to a Rockwell hardness of 58-60 HRC. This razor-sharp blade features a Scandi grind and a satin finish. The combination of steel and grind results in a knife that is very sturdy, yet has a high sharpness and can be easily sharpened.

The handle is made of oak wood. The wood has been treated with a traditional Scandinavian linseed oil-based paint. Black liners have been installed between the handle scales and steel to increase the lifespan of the knife.

The knife comes with a durable, frame-stitched sheath made of 3 mm thick, vegetable-tanned full-grain leather in cognac brown. The sheath features an especially wide belt loop, a drainage hole, an eyelet for attaching a lanyard, and - for this particular model - a fire steel holder that accommodates a fire steel with a visually coordinated handle.

Steel information: O2 steel is an extremely robust, oil-hardened tool steel with a high carbon content. This steel is designed for strength and edge retention. Thanks to its chemical composition, it can be heat-treated at high temperatures without losing its ductility and toughness. The result is a blade that maintains high edge retention even under heavy use, while also staying sharper for longer and resistant to cracking. This steel also has a very fine structure and can therefore be sharpened razor-sharp without any problems.

Please note: If the blade is left wet or damp. can tarnish due to its low chromium content when stored. To prevent rust formation, it should always be wiped dry immediately after use, and for longer storage and non-use, it should be treated with a suitable protective oil or wax beforehand.
