Swedish Forest Knife No.10, Curly Birch + Fire steel

Swedish Forest Knife No.10, Curly Birch + Fire steel

This great knife is built as a multipurpose knife for hunting, bushcraft and general use in the great outdoors. The blade is about 10 cm long and made of about 4.0 mm thick Swedish Sleipner stainless knife steel and heat-treated to achieve a hardness of 59-60 HRC. It has a shaving-sharp flat Scandinavian grind and a satin finish. This steel, in combination with the grind, makes for a knife which is very strong, yet very easy to sharpen and able to take a great edge.

The handle is made of curly birch. The wood has been treated with a traditional Scandinavian linseed oil-based varnish. There are black liners between the handle scales and the steel to enhance durability over time.

The knife comes with a sturdy welted sheath made of cognac brown, 3 mm thick vegetable-tanned full-grain leather. The sheath features an extra wide belt loop, a drain hole, a lanyard hole and - for this particular model - a firesteel holder and firesteel with matching handle.
