Safari Fixed Blade Hunting Knife, Black G10, Casstrá¶m CA-10620

The Casstrá¶m Safari Hunting Knife is a small but mighty tool. Designed by renowned English custom knife maker, Alan Wood, this knife has been crafted with bushcraft and hunting and stalking use in mind. Alan has been a professional knife maker since 1985 and is considered one of the UK's most imitated craftsmen due to his practical and visually appealing designs. He is also known for his collaboration with survival expert Ray Mears.

This compact hunting knife features an approximately 6 cm long blade made of 12c27 Swedish stainless steel (59 HRC) with a hollow ground. Its continuous tapered tang (the tang tapers towards the end of the handle) and the shape of the handle result in a very well balanced knife with a comfortable hand position. The black G10 (fibreglass composite) handle is durable, water-resistant and virtually maintenance-free.

This compact hunting knife comes with a sturdy vegetable-tanned leather sheath in cognac brown. The sheath features a belt loop and a drainage hole.

The combination of well thought-out design and carefully selected materials results in a beautiful and highly durable tool. This knife is ideal as a skinner for small game or as a small belt knife for safari hunters.

The details of the steel are impressive. Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel is very popular in Scandinavian knife making, thanks to its excellent combination of properties in terms of edge retention, hardness and corrosion resistance. Blades made of this steel can be re-sharpened without problems and at the same time are extended in terms of breaks/nicks and turned edge (so-called edge folding or rolling) for good edge strength during the day.
