Swedish Forest Fixed Blade Knife, Stabilized Curly Birch CA-13118

With a stabilised curly birch handle, which not only looks very elegant, but is also water-repellent, washable and impact-resistant, these knives set new standards in the knife industry. The wood is treated here by vacuum injection with a mixture of hardened methacrylates. This process increases the density of the wood and makes the entire handle insensitive to moisture, crack-resistant and impact-resistant.

This robust full tang knife is designed for a wide range of uses when hunting, fishing and for classic bushcraft tasks in the woods or outdoors. It is extremely robust and equally ideal for skinning game, filleting fish or woodworking. The blade is approximately 10cm long and is made from approximately 3.5mm thick Sandvik 14C28N, a Swedish stainless steel with a Rockwell hardness of 58-59 HRC, which was specially developed for knives. It is razor-sharp, polished throughout and has a satin finish. The combination of steel and sharpening results in a knife that cuts effortlessly, works very well at all sorts of different tasks and has good edge retention, but can still be re-sharpened without any problems. The baton or lever to open it are rather inadequate, but rather designed for efficient cutting.

The knife is delivered with a sturdy brown sheath made of 3 mm thick vegetable tanned leather. The sheath has a particularly wide belt loop, a drainage hole and an eyelet for attaching a leg strap.

Steel information: 14C28N is the latest addition to Sandvik's renowned knife steel collection. Its optimized composition results in a unique combination of excellent properties in terms of edge retention (stability, sharpness and sharpness), hardness and corrosion resistance. Since this steel can be heat treated, even better wear resistance compared to previous types of steel can be achieved without affecting the microstructure. The blade can therefore be sharpened relatively easily, but at the same time shows excellent edge strength in terms of chipping/nicking and the turned edge (so-called edge rolling ).
