The Casstrom Woodsman knife has been upgraded and now features an improved Sleipner steel blade that takes advantage of excellent corrosion resistance properties.
Designed by custom knife maker Roger Harrington, The Woodsman is a robust, full-tang knife, with a blade measuring approximately 9cm long. It features a straight and fairly round handle made from 5,000+ year old Bog Oak and has a lanyard hole (and leather lanyard). It is supplied with a high quality, drop style leather sheath.
The blade is made of c.4mm thick Sleipner high carbon tool steel, making the blade extremely durable with heavy use such as log-splitting (batoning). The blade has a Scandinavian grind which makes it ideal for all tasks around camp, specifically working with wood.
About the steel
Uddeholm Sleipner carbon/tool steel has a high carbon content. The chemical composition allows it to be tempered to a high hardness with retained ductility (ability to deform without breakage) and toughness while being easy to grind and capable of obtaining a very sharp and durable edge. The chromium composition ensures a higher level of corrosion resistance compared to other carbon steel blades. It is still good practice to dry the blade after use and protect with oil or wax when stored in a high humidity environment.

United KingdomMy husband requested this for his birthday. He plans to take it camping. Beautifully presented.
United KingdomThe Casstrom Woodsman is an excellent little bushcraft knife for the price! It has a stunning full-sized bog oak handle with an extremely sharp palm-sized scandi blade, also it has a premium Sleipner tool steel which holds an edge for long but is also easy to sharpen in the field. I highly recommend buying the Casstrom Woodsman, especially with the bog oak handle! This was my second purchase from NaturalMan, they have excellent customer service, and same day dispatch, with next day delivery. 10/10
United KingdomUsual great service arrived next day top quality knife
United KingdomI’ve not yet been able to test it, but it’s obviously an excellent bit of kit. Can’t wait to start using it while camping. As ever, the customer service from Natural Man was excellent.
United KingdomThe bog Oak handle is a joy to hold. The knife fits really comfortably in the hand. The Scandi grind is perfect for batoning firewood and it handles nicely for feathersticks/simple carving. The leather sheath fits perfectly and holds the knife securely. Very happy with the purchase.
