Casstrom Lars Falt Knife - Curly Birch Handle Scandi Grind LEFT HANDED sheath

A very sturdy bushcraft knife from Casström developed together with renowned wilderness and survival expert Lars Fält. The knife is very versatile and ideal for a variety of outdoor activities as well as longer expeditions in the wilderness. The knife blade is made from thick Uddeholm Sleipner tool steel with high carbon content to make the knife durable even with hard use (such as for wood splitting) . The steel quality coupled with the Scandinavian grind make the blade robust whilst being easy to handle and easy to grind with a small flat sharpener in the outdoors. The knife has a full-tang construction (the blade goes all the way through the full width and length of the handle) and even if the handle is damaged in any way, the knife can still be used without problems. The design is straight and ergonomic and fits the grip of both big and small hands. The handle is made of selected curly birch treated with a traditional Scandinavian linseed oil mixture. A sturdy and deep sheath in vegetable tanned leather and a leather strap for the handle is included.Total length 23 cmBlade length 11.5 cmBlade width 2.9 cmBlade thickness approx. 3.5 mmWeight 175gSteel Uddeholm Sleipner (carbon steel)Hardness 58-60 HRC Sanding Scandinavian grindingHandle Selected Curly Birch with black fibre linersSheath Deep pouch sheath in thick vegetable tanned leatherAbout the steel:Uddeholm Sleipner steel is tool steel well suited for knife manufacture. The steel is heat-treated according to normal procedures. Once hardened, Sleipner steel offers good edge retention and is easy to sharpen, even in the field. The addition of almost 8% chromium offers better stain resistance in comparison to other carbon steels (although it should be pointed out that it is not stainless steel, and is not resistant to staining or corrosion).Composition: C 0.9%, Si 0.9%, Mn 0.5%, Cr 7.8%, V 0.5%We will age verify all purchasers - do not order if you are under 18.Your package will be marked over 18 only, in line with government expectations.
