A Knife Designed By Hunters, For Hunters

This innovative tool features a nearly straight-line blade that excels in unzipping, field dressing, and skinning deer of all sizes, as well as small game and fish.

Beyond its superior functionality, the Swedish Field Dresser is built with hygiene and durability in mind. The knife and sheath are constructed from materials that resist weather, moisture, and other fluids, ensuring easy clean-up after every use.
Developed with direct input from experienced hunters and game butchers, this knife addresses the real-world needs of those who rely on their tools in challenging environments.
KEY FEATURES
Superior Steel 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. Casström blades are all cryo-quenched as standard too, which enhances wear resistance and fulfils the true potential of the steel.
Reversed Blade Design Edge and spine are inverted compared to a standard knife, which allows for better control when unzipping an animal, using a steady, forward pushing action.
Rounded Tip This prevents puncture damage to organs during gralloching, and reduces the risk of injuries.
Easier Sharpening The straight-line blade is easier to sharpen than conventional curved gut-openers, maintaining its edge with minimal effort.
Jimping, Deep Thumb Grip, and Finger Groove The knife has been designed with safety in mind, and there are a number of features allowing for a safer grip for better results.
Full-Tang Construction Provides robust durability, ensuring the knife can withstand demanding tasks in the field.
Weather and Fluid Resistant Handle Available in orange G10, black micarta, or stabilised curly birch, the handle is designed for a secure grip and long-lasting performance in harsh conditions.
Versatile Usage Beyond field dressing, the blade is also suitable for carving wood and preparing food on the fly, making it a versatile tool for outdoor activities.
Tough Kydex Sheath Comes with a durable kydex sheath for secure storage and protection, with optional leather hangers available for added convenience.

Makes unzipping the jacket a dream.
I've had this tool for a while now and I feel it's earned it's review. I'm currently working on Wild boar mostly and this makes it feel like the beast comes with a zip. So easy to get the first cuts of the process and the skinning cuts done clean and quick. So much so my father in law though I was an expert, I'm far from expert so this wee tool made me look good. Highly recommended.

I don't usually write reviews but this knife exceeds expectations! Beautifully crafted, sturdy & just feels so good to handle.
I'm getting on in years & not really engaged in bushcraft for way too long (I've been a deer stalker in the Scottish Highlands & lived in the NC mountains) but I have a grandson now who is so eager to build shelters in the woods, make campfires etc that I wanted to find the perfect functional knife for the job...
And this is it! I've always preferred carbon steel.
Ordering process simple & great value

I bought the Castro Swede 88 knife from Castrom which I am very happy with with. It has a wood handle which is great for use in the cold weather.
I was contacted by a rep from Castrom to inform me we’re out of stock for my initial choice and offered an alternative instead to which I agreed and am happy with that decision.
The knife is a short blade length to comply with the UK laws governing the blade length which is not a problem as I use the knife on my hiking and camping trips.
The knife is very lightweight which is great for a reduced pack weight.
Big shout out to the rep I spoke to and fantastic customer service service.
I bought the Mk1 blade and drilled out the holes to 5mm. Finished with some spare ply offcuts and 5mm aluminium pins. Very pleased with this. I now have a decent field saw for the fraction of the price a complete one would have cost.
Very pleased.

The best U.K. legal knife money can buy
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.

Impeccable customer service
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.
No.10 Swedish Forest Knife - KYDEX SHEATH
Chris Smith
Useful accessory
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.
