The service I received from customer services was fantastic. I'd initially ordered the 115cm belt and was kept updated by Leo on its shipping progress. When it arrived it was too big for me. I hadn't read the description properly and the belt is longer than 115 to facilitate going around an outside jacket. I contacted Leo who was really helpful in getting the 100cm belt sent out to me. He even called me to give me an update!
The belt itself is stunning, absolutely perfect or my need. I couldn't be happier with it.
It's not very often you receive the kind of customer service I experienced and would like to personally thank Leo for making the buying process simple and enjoyable. I am looking forward to ny next purchase which will be the Lars Falt lock back knife.
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
Absolutely stunning blade, exactly what i needed, I've never had a more comfortable grip, even in reverse grip so i can draw the wood through the blade, solid construction. Only issue was there was a slight low spot of both sides of the blade from grinding, i fixed it with a little reprofiling on a 400 grit stone. Sheath is well enough made goes well with the belt hanger i also have from Casstrom, if i was to nit pick there it a bit of overlap from one side of the sheath to the other could be fixed with a little grind around where they meet on perimeter of the sheath but that is an absolute nitpick, you cannot get better for this price, i will definitely remain a customer of Casstrom.
Used 0.6ml of this in a homemade balm instead of collecting pine resin. Great smelling balm which I use for skincare and for nourishing my wooden knife handles. Used ingredients recommended by the Wilderness Philosopher Youtuber.
