Casstrom Lars Fält Knife

Casstrom Lars Fält Knife, Karelian curly birch, carbon steel.

A very sturdy bushcraft knife from Casström, developed together with survival expert Lars Fält. The knife is versatile and ideal for general outdoor activities as well as longer expeditions.

The blade is made from thick, high-carbon Uddeholm Sleipner tool steel to make the knife durable under heavy use (for example when splitting wood), while a small amount of added chromium gives it some resistance to corrosion. The steel properties, together with the Scandinavian grind, make the blade strong while also comfortable to work with and easy to sharpen in the field. The construction is full tang, meaning the blade runs through the full width and length of the handle, making the knife very durable, and even if the handle is damaged in some way, it can still be used without problems. The handle has an ergonomic design and fits both large and small hands. It is made from selected Karelian birch, treated with a traditional Scandinavian linseed oil blend. The knife comes with a sturdy deep leather sheath and a leather lanyard for the handle.

„With Lars Fält’s experience of what is really needed in the wilderness and Casstrom’s knowledge of knife making, we knew the Casstrom Lars Fält knife was exactly right. If you want a tough knife for your next outdoor adventure, look no further. It is not afraid of hard work and will still look great at the end of the day! By the way, are you wondering why this is the only one of our knives without a fire steel option on the sheath? That is because Lars believes the fire steel should be in your pocket. At Casström, we take pride in attention to detail. Our knives are close to custom quality, but at a production price.“

About Sleipner steel: Uddeholm Sleipner is a high-carbon carbon tool steel. Its chemical composition allows it to be hardened to high hardness while retaining ductility (the ability to deform without breaking) and toughness, while also being easy to sharpen and capable of taking a very sharp and durable edge. Due to some chromium content, it offers a certain degree of corrosion resistance compared to ordinary carbon steel. However, the blade should still be dried after use and protected with oil or wax when stored in a high-humidity environment. Composition: C 0.9% Si 0.9% Mn 0.5% Cr 7.8% Mo 2.5% V 0.5%
