KEY FEATURES
Ideal Blade for Splitting Wood The 4mm thick steel is perfectly suited for heavy-duty tasks like batoning wood for the campfire, offering you strength and durability when it is needed.
Built to Last The strong, full-tang construction ensures the knife provides unwavering reliability in the great outdoors. Even in the event of a handle break, a full-tang knife can still be easily used. The stable Scandi grind is perfect for carving or splitting wood.
Ergonomic Handle The distinct handle design has been given a lot of thought. It allows you to easily identify the knife's orientation by feel alone, ensuring safe and efficient use in the field.
Superior Blade Performance Made from rugged Sleipner carbon steel, the blade holds an edge and is easy to sharpen and strop in the field. Casström blades are all cryogenically-quenched using nitrogen gas, which enhances wear-resistance and helps fulfill the true potential of the steel.
Scandinavian Curly Birch Handle Hand-finished curly birch not only offers a stunning aesthetic but also presents a real nordic feel.
Sturdy Leather Sheath The knife is supplied with a vegetable-tanned 3mm European leather sheath, providing robust protection and easy access when you need it most.
