I met David, founder and CEO of Casström, and he really cares. It was at a gathering and some other knife stands there who were just selling knives. David had a whole different approach. He was giving lectures and workshops about knives, maintenance and sharpening. It did not matter if it was not a Casström knife he would explain and help you sharpen it. He did bring some models to display but not even an pile of knives to sell. He slept in a tent in the woods like the rest of us. He's a man of great character and passion for knives. So I'm glad you changed to a Casström knife.
I'm on a tight budget so I bought a Condor Bushlore knife blank and made my own handle from walnut, I also bought some 3.5mm thick leather and made my own sheath. The problem is I enjoyed making it so much that now I want to make more knives and sheaths :D
You have chosen wisely :) They use good steel, for the kind of money a condor costs it is a very good value. Enjoy the fruits of your labor! I have enjoyed mine :)
@@davidhudson7590 A lot of the "knife snobs" scowl at the 1095 and such steels but over look the fact that Condor TEMPERS their steel to a very good Rockwell Hardness for that particular steel so it takes a keen edge and holds it well. They pay attention to what they are doing. Most of the Chinese knock offs don't bother and just send out soft steels and new peeps wonder why they can't sharpen them so that they hold an edge...It ain't rocket science. :)
Great looking knife and good info. On another note, I don't know which is worse; not having the right to carry a knife or those who would complain to those who took that right away because you are carrying one.
I carry a Casström SFK, too. But mine got a flat grind. Scandi grind is well suited for wood working. For everything else, I think the flat grind is better. Thanks for your video!
I'm here in New York state, and my go to Bushcraft knife is a vintage Utica sportsman.. a five inch blade Bowie hunter with double guard.. bone handles..they made these knives for years and I've had mine close to 30 years and just love it.. you can still find them around at antique shops and flea markets.. I have more modern knives as well, but I always go back to my sportsman..
I purchased that knife from your first post. Thank you for the great advice! I an 100% pleased with its performance. I didn’t know at the time, what a bushcraft should be. Thank You for helping me choose well!
I agree, I absolutely love my custom made SFK no 10. I also have carbon steel scandi grind. It’s versatile, robust, it’s keeps a sharp edge for a really long time, it’s easy to sharpen, has a nice sheath and it fits great in your hand. And it’s beautiful!🤩 Although, had I redone the handle today, I would have used thicker pieces of birch since my handle is a little less chunky than the original (which is rather slim to begin with). But it’s a fantastic knife!👍🏻
Nice video, nice knife and some good advice for people buying their first proper knife. My personal favorites are the Bark River Bushcrafter 1 & 2, the Bark River Gunny Scandi and the Lt wright Jessmuk. They are all superb knives I would recommend saving your pennies up for at least 1 of them. If I’m going to be out for more than a week also I’ll bring something larger like the Helle Nord, Bark River Bravo 1,5, Fällkniven A1Pro or a Knivsmed Strømeng 8", a very traditional Sami knife made here in Norway. The difference in laws between the UK and Norway is huge. I can walk in to the shop with a massive 8 inch blade hanging on my belt and nobody will batt an eyelash.
I have and love the same knife; I opted for the black-green micarta. Something that has worked for me… replave that bungee cord on the fire steel with 2mm cord or “bankline”. Cut about fingertip to center-chest length. Thread the cord through the ferro rod and fig-8 knot. Thread other end through the gromet at sheath point and fig-8. Play with which wrapping you like best. I run mine up the inside/legside to the sheath loop and over to the rod holster then wrap around the holster making sure the cord gets into those tiny gaps, placing just enought tension on the rod to never slip. So, why this way? It’s a “dimmy cord” that keeps the rod always attached to the sheath so i never loose it. And that dangle always reminds me to put it away. I can also pick-up/snatch up by the cord which is tied to my sheath. Hope this helps someone. Sorry to hear about your overbearing laws imposed by big brother (the knife length problem.) Keep up you great work, keep improving and growing.
Hi. Casström No.10 I also love that knife. until I tried Morakniv Garberg Sandvik 14C28N. Yes. there is no leather sheath, it's plastic sheath. it's probably the best knife I've tried. love your side.
I liked mine so much, I had a leather sheath made for it. Still loving it now and that's after many hours of hard use. The Garberg is just fine by me and cheap enough for what it is.
Started off watching your videos for bushcraft and camping but now I also use them as asmr to help me sleep. Your voice is very calming 😄 thank you! Love to see you do an irish adventure!
nice looks like a film movie about a young gypsy girl and her friendshipness to St Elmo's fire the mysterious fireball & the buried treasure adventure 😎
thanks for covering different blades Becky . some people want an all round knife and its a one off thing , to some £150 isnt a great loss but theres lots of people with families . wanting to buy the first time and buy right , going lightweight sometimes taking the odd family member or mentally ill friend , sometimes having to carry their gear to
I just bought it. It is great for larger hands as well because of palm swell from left to right. I managed to ge get the green micarta and got it with brown leather which I think look better than black leather. I do like both micarta and wood handles like curly birch. Sometimes i like thinner blades but this one has a wonderful balance and feel
Buying my curly birch casstrom no 10 forest knife tomorrow after watching your review and i watched the other review you did a few years ago that included it in aswell, very clear to see you love it and is one of your favs 👍 think ill go for the stainless steel as it holds its edge slightly longer from the chrome in the steel mix apparently even tho this means it probably takes longer to re sharpen but theres pros and cons to both steel types i suppose, but thanks for making up my mind after being sat on the fence for a while on such a expensive knife :)
My go to bushcraft knife is the Esee RB3. Great knife. Also have the Ka-bar BK16 that has been heavily modified. The RB3 is better for bushcraft. The handle feels great and the smaller thinner blade with the scandi grind makes it super easy to control doing those fine bushcraft tasks. BK16 will do all the bushcraft projects just fine. But the BK16 you can do light chopping & batoning with no worries do to the thicker more robust full flat grind blade.
My go to knife is my Benchmade bushcrafter , I also like using the Ontario Sk5 Blackbird. I used to be 100% scandi only and I especially hated full flat grinds . Now I favor saber and love full flat grinds . ... I challenge people to step out of their comfort zone esp with scandi grinds. It took me a full month of constant wood work to get the feel for the full flat edge . Once I figured the blade out I couldn't go back , scandis felt so odd. I still like scandi grinds they are fun esp how they can rip chunks out of wood. BUT with a flat and saber that has a convex shoulder with good geometry ..they just feel awesome . I do have my eye on that Casstrom Forester 10 in a full flat with blue green scales. ....That sheath and knife handle are one cool design , I can see why you like that blade, it's a sweet looking rig.
I have the same knife, been using for years, best knife hands down, sharpest out of the box that I’ve ever seen, holds a edge verify long “stainless version”. Awsome Video! Cheers from 🇨🇦
I have bben eyeing the Castrom too, but at the moment,my go to "bushcraft" knife is the (italian) Lionsteel M5: Sleipner steel for blade with a G10 handle.
I've used Les Stroud's temagami knife with laminated steel blade, a simple Mora knife Campanion with carbon steel, a Bushcraft UK Ray Mears clone type knife with 0-2 steel, a Condor Kephart with 1075 steel and now a Dragonfly 4.5 (now called the D-fly 4.5) from Tops Knives in 1095 steel designed by Caleb Musgrave of Canadian Bushcraft. They all have their uses, but my go-to now are the Kephart as a winter neck knife (light and simple) and the Dragonfly for a belt knife. The Bushcraft UK looks similar to the Castrom by the way, and it is heaviest of all (I carved a rough canoe paddle with it).
Very good info Becky. I to have several knives used for different proposes, for all round use I have an Inuit ulu, I find I have better blade control with it, but it isn't great for everything.
My go to is my Jacklore, but good luck getting one. It took me three years to get, but it was worth the wait. Previous to that was by my Fallkniven Embla, an Arthur Wright Bushcrafter with a flat grind and a couple of Helle’s.
I followed you to the TBS Boar, and I'll also get a Casstrum #10. You really know your Bushcraft and I truly love your productions. They are too good to call them simply videos. Thank you kindly.
My collection of knives for bushcraft keeps building! (Sigh...) In recent years, I always include a No.08 folder from Opinel for food prep. I have SIX first-rate choices for processing game and firewood. Lately, I have been using a broken back seax (Viking style) ten-inch knife: its chopping action cleans stubs from limbs, and the strong, sloping point catches a mallet well for batonning.
No more big knife I use a puukko, strong enough for light batoning (useful for fire starting, heavy batoning useless when fire started) and best wood cutting grind
I've had my Casstrom SFK No.10 (curly birch/Sleipner/fire steel) for quite some time before I came across the vid on the knives you have. Really love that knife! And when looking for a decent neck knife I saw your vid on the Safari by Casstrom. After some more looking around I decided on the Safari. It should be here tomorrow, just in time for a long weekend solo camping on the island. Great review.
Love your videos! I'm also a big fan of Casström knives. I currently have two "Lars Fält" and one "Woodsman". Also thinking about getting a "Safari mini hunter" for food prep. I really enjoy watching your videos and listening to your tips and advice. Although I've been in the forest for 30 years now, it's always fun to listen to what you have to say and follow your adventures.
Anybody that’s not subscribed to dbk (Dutch Bushcraft Knives) on here should, they’re very knowledgeable and funny as! Thanks for your videos Becky, always great content! ✌️
Good info becky I have a swedish knife it's an eka you never really hear about them but I've never had any bother with it I've also got one of their folding knives x
Bark River are amazing I've got a couple think they make Black Jack, Got Sogs, Buck 110 hunter with finger grooves and 120 General plus 88 Spydercos, looking for a lovers, just subscribed thanks for the video you rock
Great video Becky. I agree casstrom knives are awesome for their price point. The sleipner steel blade is superb and the overall attention to detail in the finish is great. My go to is the casstrom lars Falt which I absolutely love and has never let me down. Being left handed It also helps that casstrom and their suppliers carry left handed sheaths in stock which some brands don’t offer or don’t seem to have readily available.
good video. there is so many knives out there these days. of i had to chose just 1 it would mora bushcraft orange as its a complete package of mora knife 90 degree spine sharpener and ferro rod. but for building camp and forts I prefer the full flat grind full tang rat 5 by Ontario knife company. it is the inspiration for Randall (Esse company) Esse 5 .
Nice little video Becky, just off next week on the Cape Wrath Trail. Completely due to the inspirational videos from yourself and “fitforadventure” maybe I’ll even film a bit 🤞. Take care Matt
Sorry about the sarcastic remark. I have different gardening tools. Trowel, rakes, fork and hoe. I love the fresh air and bird song. God bless you and your friends
Thats a review from someone who knows what she‘s talking about. The Casström No. 10 SFK is a great blade, i bought one for the son of a friend of mine and he loves it! I bought it in 14c27n, so if the boy loses interest in it for a while it won‘t rust on him. I still use my TBS Boar MK II in K720, wich will rust like crazy if you don‘t pay attention and care for it accordingy, so I always bring a Zippo key chain fuel canister with me, that is filles with Ballistol oil just in case. Love this review and all of your videos, stay safe and take care! 😁
That is a good knife, I have a Bark River Bravo in A2 steel, and a Helle, I’m going to get a Bark River Aurora Scandi in either Cru-Wear or Magna Cut and that will be my last one, honest! 🤣👍
Beautiful knife! In the US of course you could carry that on one side and your handgun on the other and go to the grocery store or the mall. Love that anorak!
@@GirlOutdoors It might be crazy. But to me it’s even crazier the opposite way, a simple locking blade is illegal? A Swiss Army Knife is a dangerous weapon?? 😂 Excellent for you to have access to the woods where such silliness doesn’t matter. Love your channel!
I use the Casstrom Lars and the Lofty Wiseman Tool, and always have a Victorinox in my pocket. Having the Lofty means I seldom have need for an axe, saving some weight.
I carry the Esee4 and the Esee6 they don't have the scandi grind but are knives that you can use for many purposes along with Bush crafting. I think a well rounded knife is better than having one knife that is dedicated for one thing. But that is my personal opinion and what vn I use.
The law (explicitly stated on the gov.uk website) says it's legal to carry, so long as the knife itself is legal (I.e. not something like a flick knife or butterfly knife) and you have good reason such as work use. I carry a Leatherman Wave for work (I work in IT so often need tools, and a locking blade is much safer for cable stripping and cable tie cutting). The advice from my sister, who's a police officer, was don't openly carry (e.g. on your belt) in public even with good reason. E.g. if you're taking a knife bushcrafting keep it in your pack until you reach the woods or trails.
This is the correct and best advice. Keep it packed away accessible until you get to the location in which you have the legitimate reason to use it. I've never had any issues with knives following this "method".
On private land, pretty much any knife is legal. Otherwise, pretty much every knife is not. The law is a bit shady, but the blade must be less than 3 inches, and must not be fixed, or capable of being locked. That even rules out most utility knives. The guidelines may have even changed again recently, with all the publicity around city kids stabbing each other. Otherwise, it was most recently updated in the Criminal Justice Act in the early 90's. If it's changed since then, it's only going to have gotten more strict.
Even the official pocket knife (german version of the Victorinox Trailmaster) used by the army is forbidden to carry in public here in Germany. Problem: The camouflage clothing is allowed on your way home or in the morning to work. The leg pocket on your right thigh has a second small pocket (pocket in the pocket) for this knife (normally fixed with a long laneyard) so some soldiers got in trouble on their way home: 'Cause we germans love laws and regulations they made extra regulation for this knife.
You are a girl I would actually want to be friends with. Other girls: sit around talking about makeup they bought, shoes that would cause them to sink into mud and get stuck, and their latest skimpy outfit. With MTV playing in the background. You: sits around talking about knives. Intelligently. Bushcraft knives. With a tent and the woods in the background. Honestly, it is a no-brainer. :) Love it. Thank you for sharing!

You have chosen wisely :) They use good steel, for the kind of money a condor costs it is a very good value. Enjoy the fruits of your labor! I have enjoyed mine :)

Excellent video
Most recent knife, I chose the TBS Wolverine Puukko mk2 in stainless. Really nice knife!
Wow, I love that hoody but so expensive!
No more big knife
I use a puukko, strong enough for light batoning (useful for fire starting, heavy batoning useless when fire started) and best wood cutting grind
I use the Benchmade Bushcraft and the Helle Les Straud. Both amazing knives.
Great to see you again my dear friend and hope you are doing well, lovely and charming as always

I rub warm beeswax and olive oil mixed into my sheaths it helps keep the water from socking into the leather.

Awesome!

Thats a review from someone who knows what she‘s talking about. The Casström No. 10 SFK is a great blade, i bought one for the son of a friend of mine and he loves it!
I bought it in 14c27n, so if the boy loses interest in it for a while it won‘t rust on him.
I still use my TBS Boar MK II in K720, wich will rust like crazy if you don‘t pay attention and care for it accordingy, so I always bring a Zippo key chain fuel canister with me, that is filles with Ballistol oil just in case.
Love this review and all of your videos, stay safe and take care! 😁
Awesome! The boar is a great knife :) thank you so much! Take care
That Mallet clip was cool!

That is a good knife, I have a Bark River Bravo in A2 steel, and a Helle, I’m going to get a Bark River Aurora Scandi in either Cru-Wear or Magna Cut and that will be my last one, honest! 🤣👍
I like my little case knife and my homemade Bowie that a welder friend made for me. Cheers lass love ya.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing :)
@@GirlOutdoors you're welcome Becky dear.
Thanks for sharing another knife review. And have a super grand day. :>)
Thanks again, young lady. Have any opinion on ESEE knifes if you ever held one? Also ever heard about Grohmann knifes from Canada?
Great knife
Beautiful knife! In the US of course you could carry that on one side and your handgun on the other and go to the grocery store or the mall. Love that anorak!
Crazy how you get away with that over there aha! Thank you :)
@@GirlOutdoors It might be crazy. But to me it’s even crazier the opposite way, a simple locking blade is illegal? A Swiss Army Knife is a dangerous weapon?? 😂 Excellent for you to have access to the woods where such silliness doesn’t matter. Love your channel!
England and she would be in prison
I use the Casstrom Lars and the Lofty Wiseman Tool, and always have a Victorinox in my pocket. Having the Lofty means I seldom have need for an axe, saving some weight.
That thing is awesome!
I carry the Esee4 and the Esee6 they don't have the scandi grind but are knives that you can use for many purposes along with Bush crafting. I think a well rounded knife is better than having one knife that is dedicated for one thing. But that is my personal opinion and what vn I use.
Sfk#10 or Woodsman Becky? Thank you 👍🏾
Those Casstrom knives are beautiful knives 🔪. Awesome content 🙌🏼

Haha cheers Rob! Hope you’re well :)
The law (explicitly stated on the gov.uk website) says it's legal to carry, so long as the knife itself is legal (I.e. not something like a flick knife or butterfly knife) and you have good reason such as work use. I carry a Leatherman Wave for work (I work in IT so often need tools, and a locking blade is much safer for cable stripping and cable tie cutting).
The advice from my sister, who's a police officer, was don't openly carry (e.g. on your belt) in public even with good reason. E.g. if you're taking a knife bushcrafting keep it in your pack until you reach the woods or trails.
Thank you for sharing that information! I only use this knife on private land anyway :) Leathermans are a great tool! Take care
This is the correct and best advice. Keep it packed away accessible until you get to the location in which you have the legitimate reason to use it. I've never had any issues with knives following this "method".
On private land, pretty much any knife is legal. Otherwise, pretty much every knife is not. The law is a bit shady, but the blade must be less than 3 inches, and must not be fixed, or capable of being locked. That even rules out most utility knives. The guidelines may have even changed again recently, with all the publicity around city kids stabbing each other. Otherwise, it was most recently updated in the Criminal Justice Act in the early 90's. If it's changed since then, it's only going to have gotten more strict.
Even the official pocket knife (german version of the Victorinox Trailmaster) used by the army is forbidden to carry in public here in Germany. Problem: The camouflage clothing is allowed on your way home or in the morning to work. The leg pocket on your right thigh has a second small pocket (pocket in the pocket) for this knife (normally fixed with a long laneyard) so some soldiers got in trouble on their way home: 'Cause we germans love laws and regulations they made extra regulation for this knife.
@@ashscott6068 That's the rule for where you have no good reason for having one. If you do, there rules are less restrictive.
thank you.
I have that knife also and just love it 😉👍
Ayy!
My go to Bushcraft knife is a 'Butter Knife' I once fought off a Bigfoot with one and a knob of butter on it, but I think he was Lactose intolerant!
nice one
K bar BK2 for me, it’s a beast. I could slay dam Dragon with the thing.
Nice!
You are a girl I would actually want to be friends with.
Other girls: sit around talking about makeup they bought, shoes that would cause them to sink into mud and get stuck, and their latest skimpy outfit. With MTV playing in the background.
You: sits around talking about knives. Intelligently. Bushcraft knives. With a tent and the woods in the background.
Honestly, it is a no-brainer. :) Love it. Thank you for sharing!
