Casström No.14 Swedish Forest Knife Green Micarta

Product detailed description

Coupled with the robust full-tang construction, the large blade of the No.14 SFK has the length to handle bigger tasks and will satisfy all your bushcraft, survival, or hunting needs - this is a knife that excels at splitting wood but also carves well. The A8 Mod steel has been selected for its toughness and if you add a small secondary bevel to the front of the blade you can even chop with this knife with a lower risk of severe edge damage.

• Hand-finished handle with a slim ergonomic design.
• Sturdy welted sheath in vegetable-tanned European leather with a draining hole.
• 14 cm blade in premium A8 Mod steel that holds an edge well even during very hard use such as wood splitting.
• Scandinavian grind, along with the steel properties, makes the knife robust, effective for wood carving, and easy to sharpen in the outdoors.

All Casström knives are cryo-quenched. Cryogenic hardening is a treatment process where the steel is cooled to very cold temperatures with the use of liquid nitrogen. This enhances the performance of the steel at a molecular level and in practical terms, gives the blade more wear resistance and is less prone to chipping compared to a blade with the same hardness that was not cryogenically quenched
