Description

CASS14108: No. 10 SFK - Curly Birch, Kydex

Casstrom Sweden

This great new knife is built as a multipurpose knife for hunting, bushcraft, and general use in the great outdoors. The blade is 4" long and made using 3.5 mm thick Sandvik 14C28N, a Swedish stainless steel developed specifically for knives (58-59 HRC). The knives are ground with a shaving sharp flat Scandinavian grind and have a satin finish. This steel, in combination with the grind, makes these knives very strong, yet very easy to sharpen, and it takes a great edge.

The handle is available in Classic Oak, Curly Maple, Bubinga, or Green Canvas Micarta. There are black liners between the handle scales and steel to enhance durability over time. The wood has been treated with a traditional Scandinavian linseed oil-based varnish.

The knife comes with a sturdy Kydex sheath.

About Sandvik 14C28N Stainless Steel

Sandvik's most recently developed product in its popular series of knife steel. The optimized composition creates a steel with a unique combination of excellent edge holding features (stability, sharpenability, and sharpness), high hardness, and high corrosion resistance. This new version of steel has the ability to be heat-treated, thereby improving wear resistance over prior steel types without affecting the microstructure. To sharpen the knife is therefore relatively easy, while edge stability in terms of chipping and edge rolling is still very good. Steel structure analysis: C 0.62%, Si 0.2%, Mn 0.6%, P 0.025%, S 0.01%, Cr 14.0%, N 0.11% (HRC 58-59).
