Lars Falt Knife

The Bushcraft knife from Casström, designed by renowned survival instructor and Bushcraft legend Lars Fält, is an incredibly durable and versatile tool. Developed in collaboration with Fält, a recognized expert in Bushcraft and survival, this knife is ideal for a wide range of outdoor activities and extended expeditions. Its full-tang construction ensures exceptional durability, allowing the knife to remain functional even if the handle becomes damaged. The straight, ergonomic design of the handle accommodates hands of all sizes, and is crafted from selected curly birch treated with traditional Scandinavian linseed oil.

The knife comes with a robust sheath made from vegetable-tanned leather, complete with a leather strap for convenient handling. Made with sturdy tool steel, it is capable of withstanding rigorous use such as wood splitting without chipping or cracking. The Scandinavian grind of the blade makes it easy to carve with and simple to sharpen, while the stylish and durable curly birch handle ensures reliability for both general wilderness activities and extended expeditions.

The blade is crafted from Sleipner steel, manufactured in Germany by Bohler Uddeholm and designed to be an improvement over D2 steel. While D2 can have a tendency to micro-chip under certain conditions at high hardness levels, Sleipner steel offers many of the same advantages as a high hardness tool steel, but with a much more stable edge. It also provides good wear resistance at high hardness levels, allowing it to maintain a sharp edge. With a lower Chromium content than D2, it is recommended to keep the blade oiled to resist surface corrosion.

In terms of specifications, the overall length of the knife is 9 inches, with a 4 1/2 inch blade and 4 1/2 inch handle. It weighs 6.15 ounces and has a blade steel thickness of 3.5mm.

In conclusion, the Bushcraft knife from Casström, designed in collaboration with Lars Fält, is a reliable and durable tool suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities. With its sleek design, robust construction, and high-quality materials, it is a valuable addition to any wilderness enthusiast's gear collection.
