KEY FEATURES

• Ideal Blade for Splitting Wood  The 4mm thick steel is perfectly suited for heavy-duty tasks like batoning wood for the campfire, offering you strength and durability when it is needed.
• Built to Last The strong, full-tang construction ensures the knife provides unwavering reliability in the great outdoors. Even in the event of a handle break, a full-tang knife can still be easily used. The stable Scandi grind is perfect for carving or splitting wood.
• Ergonomic Handle  The distinct handle design has been given a lot of thought. It allows you to easily identify the knife's orientation by feel alone, ensuring safe and efficient use in the field.
  
• Superior Blade Performance Made from rugged Sleipner carbon steel, the blade holds an edge and is easy to sharpen and strop in the field. Casström blades are all cryogenically-quenched using nitrogen gas, which enhances wear-resistance and helps fulfill the true potential of the steel.

What is Bog Oak?
Bog Oak is not a species of tree, rather it is a term given to the oak found in the peat bogs of Great Britain and Ireland. Low oxygen conditions in peat bogs help preserve the wood from normal decay, and the acidic conditions combine with the natural tannins in the wood to give Bog Oak its distinctive and pleasing colour. It is essentially in the early stages of fossilisation, and many samples of Bog Oak are hundreds if not thousands of years old. A very sought-after material indeed.
