Safari Fixed Blade Hunting Knife, Black G10, Casström CA-10620

The Casström Safari hunting knife is a small but powerful tool. Designed by renowned English custom knife maker Alan Wood, this knife has been crafted with wilderness bushcraft, hunting, and stalking in mind. Alan has been a professional knife maker since 1985 and is considered one of the most imitated artisans in the UK due to his practical and visually appealing designs. He is also known for his collaboration with survival expert Ray Mears.

This hunting knife is compact and features a blade approximately 6 cm long made of Swedish 12c27 stainless steel (59 HRC) with a hollow grind. Its full tapered tang (the tang tapers towards the end of the handle) and the shape of the handle result in a very well-balanced knife with a comfortable hand position. The black G10 handle (fiberglass composite) is durable, water-resistant, and virtually maintenance-free.

This compact hunting knife comes with a sturdy vegetable-tanned leather sheath in cognac brown. The sheath features a belt loop and a drainage hole.

The combination of well-thought-out design and carefully selected materials results in a beautiful and highly durable tool. This knife is ideal as a skinner for small game or as a small belt knife for safari hunters.

The steel details are impressive. Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel is very popular in Scandinavian knife making, thanks to its excellent combination of properties in terms of edge retention, hardness, and corrosion resistance. Blades made of this steel can be easily resharpened and, at the same time, are extended in terms of breaks/chips and rolled edge (the so-called folding or rolling of the edge) for good edge resistance throughout the day.
