SEE THE CASSTROM COLLECTION HERE

The No.8 Swedish Forest Knife is a compact and powerful addition to the acclaimed Casström family of knives, inspired by the popular No.10 SFK model and traditional Scandinavian “brukskniv” utility knives. Designed with precision and crafted for performance, the No.8 SFK is your go-to tool for your next outdoor trip. With this knife on your belt, you won’t just be surviving – you’ll be thriving!

Key Features

  • Perfectly balanced design:The 8cm long and 3mm thick blade is tailored for those who appreciate a knife that is just the right size for close work like whittling and woodcarving and food prep. Its ergonomic handle, complete with a reassuring finger groove, offers a secure and comfortable grip.
  • Versatile and comfortable: Whether you have large or small hands, the No.8 SFK fits comfortably, allowing for precise control. The knife is the ideal size for safely “choking up” on the blade for finer wood carving tasks.
  • Superior Blade Spec:Made from Alleima (formerly Sandvik) 14C28N, a recycled Swedish stainless steel. The optimised chemistry provides a top-grade knife steel with a unique combination of excellent edge performance, high hardness, and good corrosion resistance as well as ease of sharpening. Casström blades are all cryo-quenched as standard too, which enhances wear resistance and fulfils the true potential of the steel.
  • Wilderness reliability: The scandi grind, and full-tang construction help make the blade both stable and robust, even under demanding conditions. Even in the event of a handle break, a full-tang knife can still be easily used. The Scandi grind is perfect for carving wood.
  • Bushcraft Ready: On its own or paired with an axe or larger blade, the No.8 SFK completes your essential bushcraft tool combination. Its lightweight design makes it an excellent belt knife, or a more specific game prep or fishing knife.
  • Premium Handle Options:Choose between the elegant beauty of hand-finished Scandinavian Curly Birch or the weather resistance of tough Green Micarta – both paired with our vegetable-tanned European Leather Sheath with the stylish Casström Leaf emblem on the front face.
  • Sheath: The thick (vegetable tanned) leather sheath features a wide belt loop and a drip hole to avoid moisture collection. Consider enhancing the way the knife hangs by adding a matching dangler.
