I purchased the Lars Fält slip joint knife from Casstrom at the bushcraft show almost a year ago now. Having used this knife on a weekly basis I am confident in saying this is probably the best U.K. legal slip joint money can by. As always the knife scales are finished beautiful curly birch. I would recommend regular oiling with boiled linseed oil if you use it frequently. The steel is perfect for every day, low maintained use. Holds an edge relatively well and is extremely easy to sharpen. What sets this knife apart from the competition, is the folding mechanism, unlike almost all folding knives, the blade on this mechanism stops at 90 degrees, adding that extra security to a folding knife. This has saved my fingers on more than one occasion, this is very well designed. I’d recommend this over any other slip joint on the market! Well done Casstrom 10/10
Another excellent purchase from Casstrom. Received this one as a birthday gift. Leo went above and beyond to ensure we could get the knife engraved with custom text. As always excellent build quality by Casstrom. Sturdy sheath of good quality leather. Razor sharp out the box, haven’t needed to sharpen it yet but sure it will be as easy to sharpen as my other Casstrom knives. Fire steel is a lot thicker than I expected and should last a long time.
I'll start with the knife. It's beautiful and highly functional. I'm mostly using it for skinning wild boar just now and it's lovely to work with. The handle fits numerous different grips really well and I didn't find it getting too slippery with a bit of claret on it which was a nice surprise. The blade is relatively easy to get a razor edge on and seams to keep it really well even when you're taking the feet and head off.
Now the customer service, I was truly gob smacked how good it was. About a day or two after I'd placed my order I received a phone call from Sweden from a lovely English bloke (sorry I didn't get your name) saying one of my items was out of stock in the UK distribution centre so he'd ship from Sweden if that was okay and if I wanted to change my order to get an all black setup he could sort that out. I was almost speechless but managed a 'hell yeah'. So I got more than I had expected delivered faster. How often does that happen. I'll be recommending Casstrom to everyone at the hunt from now on.
I already have one of these danglers for my RM bushcraft knife, but I wanted to modify the leather sheath for my Fallkniven A1 Pro to make it quick release. I removed the old belt attachment and rivet, fitted the dangler attachment and replaced the sheath rivet with a Chicago screw. It makes the whole thing much more user friendly, I don’t know why Fallkniven don’t fit these as standard.
I thought I would try this for a natural salva for my hands and skin, I get cut hands through work and sore patches, spots on my forearms which just don’t heal for months. Look unsightly and itch, I tried this and covered the area with salve, within a few days the skin red patches and soreness started to lessen and now after a couple of weeks they are nearly gone, my skin/arm doesn’t itch all the time and the skin is going back to normal. Before it would take months and have a patch of raised red skin scars tissue.
I also used it in a bad cut with a bahco Laplander saw, on my finger, I was distracted for a moment. Anyway, the salva filled the cut gap and stopped any infection and pain, that was 2 weeks ago, it is a lot better, healthier and cleaner now. It’s made a world of difference to my skin and cuts/grazes.
What a tool. Cuts well and also makes short work of spitting wood. Fantastic knife, comfortable when using and a fraction of the price of similar products.
A great addition for my kydex sheath, looks great.
Quick delivery, Amazing quality and beautiful product
Casstrom products are extremely well made and this is matched by the highest standards of customer care. Very highly recommended.
