Casstrom Woodsman Knife - Bog Oak

£99.99

The Casstrom Woodsman knife has been designed by custom knife maker Roger Harrington, from England.

A robust, full-tang knife, with a blade measuring approximately 9cm long, featuring a straight and fairly round handle of 3,000+ year old Bog Oak with a lanyard hole (and leather lanyard). It feels good in both large and small hands. It is supplied with a high quality, strong and deep pocket style leather sheath.

The blade is made of c.4mm thick Böhler K720 high carbon tool steel, making the blade extremely durable with heavy use such as log-splitting.

About the steel : Bohler K720

Icebreaker Oasis Short Sleeve Crewe - Midnight Navy

£44.95 £60.00

Colour: Midnight Navy

If one were to look up the word versatile in a dictionary, they might just find the Icebreaker Oasis Short Sleeve Crewe as the definition. It could also reasonably be the definition of comfort, because the set in sleeves, offset shoulder seams and flatlock stitching make it amazingly comfortable no matter what activity or sport you do.

The 200gm merino jersey fabric is so soft, so breathable, and so great at regulating your temperature, that you'll feel great in any weather. And because merino resists odour, you really can wear the Oasis Short Sleeve Crewe for extended periods and it will still feel great.

We think that the Icebreaker Merino T-Shirt is the best available. You can read more about the wonderful properties of Merino Wool here.

Icebreaker Merino is ethically sourced, sustainable in production and pioneering by design.

Fabric weight: 200 / 100% Merino Wool
