Description

Fixed knife Woodsman with handle in bog oak, Casström

The Woodsman from the Swedish manufacturer Casström is a classic woods knife. It was designed by Roger Harrington, a British custom knifemaker and experienced outdoor enthusiast who has been offering bushcraft and survival courses to individuals and military personnel for twenty years now with his company Bison Bushcraft in Sussex, England.

The approx. 9 cm (3.54 in) long blade of this sturdy full tang bushcraft knife is made of approx. 4 mm (0.16 in) thick Böhler K720 tool steel (carbon steel with a Rockwell hardness of 58-60 HRC). It is therefore extremely hard-wearing and perfectly suited for tasks that require heavy use - such as splitting wood or so-called batoning. At the same time, the knife remains lightweight and easy to carry. With its Scandi grind, the blade is very stable and can be easily resharpened on a small, flat whetstone in the woods or outdoors. This knife is simply a great all-around tool for field use.

The handle is straight and has rounded edges, making it suitable for as many hand sizes as possible. It is made from 5000 year old bog oak wood excavated in England and has a rough surface texture. The shade of bog oak can vary from pitch black to dark brown. Features also include a leather strap, and black liners have been installed between the handle scales and steel to increase the life of the knife.

The knife is supplied with a durable welted sheath made of vegetable tanned leather in cognac brown. The sheath features a belt loop and a drain hole.

Steel Specifications:Böhler K720 / O2 steel is an extremely rugged, oil-hardened tool steel with a high carbon content. This steel is designed for strength and cutting durability. Its chemical composition allows it to be heat treated at high temperatures without losing any of its ductility and toughness. The result is a blade that exhibits high edge retention even under heavy use, while remaining nick-free and crack-resistant for longer periods of time. This steel also has a very fine structure, making it easy to sharpen to razor sharpness.

Please note: If the blade is left or stored damp or wet, it will tarnish due to its low chromium content. Therefore, to prevent rusting, it should always be wiped dry immediately after use, and if stored for a long time and not used, it should be treated with a suitable protective oil or wax beforehand.
