KEY FEATURES
SPECIFICATION
A Zero Scandi grind knife can benefit from a secondary micro bevel to increase its durability. A 20–25-degree angle per side (40-50 degrees in total) is recommended if the knife will be used for a lot of batoning or other heavy-duty tasks, particularly at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius.
Don't worry - it’s simple to do!
Find the usual sharpening angle and increase it by a couple of degrees.
Using a stone or diamond sharpener, make 4-5 strokes on each side. Apply light and consistent pressure as you move the blade across the sharpener.
You only need to do this for the straight section you will chop with.
Remember to maintain the same angle throughout the process.
Remove any burrs by lightly running the knife edge along a strop or piece of leather.
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.
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 have had my knife about 18 months now and last year I used the knife on a Ray Mears Bushcraft course for a week. I used the knife all day everyday, it was a joy to use, it did everything comfortably it was required to do. It was much admired on the course.
I do a lot of spoon/bowl making, bushcraft skills and fire lighting with my blade. It does everything I need, up to needing to get an axe out.
It feels a big knife at first, I started with a smaller different company Swedish knife brand, when I moved up to this knife it was a bit intimidating. But after respecting the knife and learning it, it actually feels perfect size in my hand for bushcraft use. Solid dependable, comfortable and easy to use. It really is a beautiful knife and a joy to use.
The sheath is well made, I got the one without the fire starter, it polishes up beautifully with the casstrom Lapland leather was, a lovely deep rich colour. It holds the knife well and does not slip out.
I am very happy with the knife and sheath, I will use and treasure them for a very long time. I made the right choice when purchasing this.
In the photo, the blade is currently being resharpened with Japanese water stones, after damage from a hidden nail in a bit of wood.
Superb value, great workmanship, comfortable in the hand, I could go on. The description is spot on. It beats its rivals in the price range. Very quick delivery too.
I am thrilled with this bushcraft knife, it is just beautiful. Very very sharp, after I had oiled the handle, the curly birch really started to show its colour and pattern better.
I’ve not had time to try or test it properly, but it does make very good fire sticks.
It is a lot bigger than my other brand first knife, but it is a lot stronger, thicker, has a nice solid weight in the hand. It has a full tang, which I wanted and very high quality steel, this was important to me, It will last a long time, it is a quality knife.
The sheath is beautiful, now waxed with Lapland leather wax, the leather has come up a treat. I also got the No.3 dangler XL with it, they go fantastically together. As a package fantastic quality and products. Very happy with them, they will make bushcraft easier and I am enjoying using it.
