The Casström No.8 Swedish Forest Knife is a compact yet powerful addition to the Casström knife family, inspired by the popular No.10 SFK model and traditional Scandinavian utility knives.
Crafted for precision and reliability, the No.8 SFK is likely to become your trusted companion in the great outdoors.
Knife Features:* Perfectly balanced design:** The 8 cm long, 3 mm thick blade is tailored for those who appreciate a knife that’s just the right size for tasks such as carving, cooking, and game processing. The ergonomic handle, complete with a generous finger groove, provides a secure and comfortable grip.* Versatile and comfortable:** Whether you have large or small hands, the No.8 SFK sits comfortably in your grip, offering excellent control. The knife’s size allows for fine work when you need to choke up on the blade for maximum precision.* Optimized blade specification:** Made from Alleima (formerly Sandvik) 14C28N – a recycled Swedish stainless steel. The optimized chemistry provides a top-grade knife steel with a unique combination of edge performance, high hardness, excellent corrosion resistance, and easy sharpening. All Casström blades are cryogenically treated as standard to increase wear resistance and help the steel reach its full potential.* Field reliability:** The Scandinavian grind and full-tang construction make the blade and knife exceptionally strong, even under demanding conditions.* Bushcraft ready:** Lightweight yet durable, the No.8 makes an excellent primary utility knife or a secondary knife alongside a larger wilderness or hunting blade. Combined with an axe, the No.8 SFK forms the ideal wilderness pairing.* Be prepared:** For those who need the ultimate survival setup, choose the model that includes Casström’s premium Auermetall Fire Striker with a matching handle and a leather sheath equipped with a ferro rod holder. Starting a fire has never been easier!* Premium handle options:** Choose between elegant Scandinavian curly birch or weather-resistant green micarta (laminated linen fabric) – both paired with a vegetable-tanned European leather sheath embossed with the distinctive Casström leaf logo.
