Casström No.8 SFK – The Little Big Knife

Compact Size. Serious Outdoor Performance.

Don’t let its compact size deceive you — the Casström No.8 SFK has earned its reputation as the “Little Big Knife” for good reason. Designed to deliver outstanding cutting power and control in a lightweight format, this compact bushcraft knife combines Scandinavian knife-making tradition with modern outdoor performance.

Inspired by the rugged versatility of the legendary Casström No.10 Swedish Forest Knife and generations of traditional Scandinavian utility knives, the No.8 SFK is purpose-built for bushcraft, hunting, camping, hiking, and everyday outdoor carry.

Crafted for precision and reliability in the field, the No.8 SFK excels at wood carving, feather stick preparation, fire lighting tasks, camp cooking, game preparation, and general wilderness use. Its compact fixed-blade design offers exceptional control for fine work while remaining tough enough for demanding outdoor environments.

Lightweight, durable, and easy to carry, the No.8 SFK is the perfect knife for minimalist adventurers, bushcrafters, preppers, and outdoor enthusiasts who want maximum performance without unnecessary bulk.

Whether you're carving around camp, heading into the backcountry, or building your ideal wilderness kit, the No.8 SFK proves that a small bushcraft knife can still deliver big results.

Key Features
  • Perfectly balanced design: The 8cm long and 2.8mm 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 optimized 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.
  • Firesteel Option: For those who need the ultimate survival tool, this model includes our fantastic 12,000+ strike Auermetall Fire Steel (with matching handle of curly birch), and a leather sheath with integral fire steel loop. Firelighting has never been this easy!
