Article: Casstrom: New Style No 10 Swedish Forest Knife with Combo Sheath and Fire St

  • Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Hi John - we sell these in the gun shop and although it's a good price, I find the handle shape very uncomfortable. I know I'm in the minority as a few have been sold, so it's a very personal thing. Kind regards, Eddie.

Nice looking knife (the sheath, not so much)

The company is situated in Lycksele, Sweden but that doesn't equates to that they are made in Sweden

Someone must have put a great deal of effort into making the handle profile look so god damn awful!

Hopefully its with ergonomics to the fore rather than simply finding an alternative presentation of what is now a very 'tired' and frankly unimaginative blade profile and grind.

Well, I have been looking at the no.10 for a long while and I like it, I tried one that a friend has, I know the handle is a bit marmite, but I would be interested to hear from some one that actually has owned one, and how the blade holds up.

I've owned mine, for about a year, now.
While the handle looks a bit odd, I find it comfortable. Never had a problem with it.
The edge retention is excellent. I use my knife, daily, for food prep, and, on the occasion I manage to get home long enough for some dirt time, it gets used for some bushcrafting. I did add a micro bevel to it,when I first got it. It WILL shave hair, and will give a nasty pressure cut, if you're not paying attention.
I've touched it up, 4, or 5 times, on a ceramic rod. Never needed more than that.
