West Coast Bushcrafters
Review on the Casström Woodsman
At the end of 2021 Kjetil bought 2 Casström Woodsman knives for the celebration 1st year of West Coast Bushcrafters. We were so impressed that we needed to do a review about it. It is a great and very practical bushcraft knife. Small knife can do big things. We had a great time filming this one.

Great vid lads, tack tack! An absolutely superb knife - it quickly became one of my favourites. I does almost everything well and is so quick and easy to sharpen. Great sheath and price too. Worth noting the knife was designed by the English knife maker, Roger Harrington. The Casstrom and hand-made versions of the knife are available from him at Bison Bushcraft. One advantage of going custom is speccing a thinner or stainless blade, depending on your needs and environment and of course, any handle material.
Thanks a lot!!😁👍. Completely agree what you are saying! Really like the compact aspect of this knife and the control it gives because of that. Great to know about the custom possibilities at Bison Bushcraft😁👍
I'm 6'3" (1.87M) with XL hands and I find my Woodsman a perfect grip. The thick blade is great for splitting, but as you show in the video, it's not so good for food prep/slicing veggies. For that I got an Opinel to keep in the Trangia.
Hi! Smart to have a second slicing knife in your cooking gear. Woodsman is great for all the other bushcraft tasks. Thanks for your comment! New slicing knife video incoming. Maybe of interest;-)
I have the same!
Great knife ! 🤩
Nice!! Yeah it really is!😁👍
Hi there, lobe your Videos. Which gloves du you use? Are you happy with them?
Hi! Awesome to hear, thanks! We use mostly gloves from Hestra. We have several diffrent ones. Hestra Work Glove II and III. Hestra Oden Nubuck is also nice if you prefer more dark leather.
Lose the cheesy music, it sucks
Sorry you don’t like it

På riktigt, musiken förstör videon, som annars är bra..
Tack för din kommentar! Det tar vi med oss. 😁👍
I like the music 😮
Next time no music please.
We take it into account, thanks👍
Hur länge vässa du kniven på varje sten?
Hej! Det beror lite på hur skadad eller vass kniven är. Generellt tror jag kanske 14 - 18 gånger på första sten efter det mindre på varje sten. Avsluta med stroppning på läder 👍
Sharpening tips: You're applying WAY too much presure on the stone with the blade. loose your hand more and try to go slower and more precise. To hit the belly part near the tip, raise the handle up when you rich that part and stop, before the blade exeeds the surface of the stone. Also. Always do the same on both side. One pass per side helps you keep track of the number of epasses, to keep them equaly the same on both sides. As you finsih on the final grit, aplly less and less pressure, so that on the last passes, you let just the weight of the knife (you do apply VERY little pressure, enough to keep the edge angle flat on the stone)
As for stropping, most people do it wrong, and they dull the edge, instead of doing any good. So I suggest, to avoid stroping, because you actually damaging the apex the more you do it. Strop on a flat stretched piece of newspaper instead (black letters part only, avoid photo prints). Use 1 or 2 less degrees when stropping, than the angle you sharpened. Hope this helps! Happy new year!!
Thanks a lot for the sharpening tips! Very nice detailed info how to improve the sharpening process. Hope it helps other viewers as well. Thanks for your comment and happy new year to you as well!! Cheers
Just bought one,and it's aws👀me 🥳
That is great 😁!! Enjoy your new knife 😁👍!
@@westcoastbushcrafters wow 😳 thanx for replay....did'nt have to,ur busy🤠 and YES i will🤓🥳🥳🥳
😁👍
Your sound is bad.
We are aware 👍. Made changes on the mic and in our later episodes it has been much better. We think at least 👍
@@westcoastbushcrafters 2 videos va kass, den andra ja svara på innan osså, märkligt att de e så.
The woodsman is one of my favorites. It is beautifully made, easy to sharpen and feels great in the hand. He is not big but extremely skilled and just very nicely made. What also strikes me is the high quality of the sheath that Casström supplies. Absolutely recommended in my opinion. And: Nice video guys!
Thanks 😁! You gave a nice summary about this knife. That old bog oak wood on the handle gives it a very nice characteristic. Fully agree on the sheath quality. I use the lars fält sheath even for my bark river bushcrafter 1.
Good video, I like when you are honest about pros and cons, it makes the video worth the time. Also like your energy and humor :)
Fun to hear! Thanks a lot!!
Nice video again from Strömstad in english in heavy accened from the salty guys from the Swedish westcoast. Again an informtive video. I own the Casstrom Lars Fält fixed blade knife as well as the folding knife. They are good allround knifes and handles most of your normal outdoor adventures. I carry it often when I am searching for cats and dogs in larger forests. However not the right knife for more advanced cooking. Then you better go and buy the cheapest Victorinox chef knife. That makes food prep so much faster. In the forest it often better to prepare back home or just keep it simple.
Hahaha very well written Mats! Thank you very much for your comment! Nice to hear you are happy with the Casström Lars Fält knife. Good allround knife indeed!
Hard to beat a chef knife for food prep:). Thin blades do that perfectly. We ordered a special knife that we mainly will use for food prep outdoors. 1 of them is still in the factory but when it arrives...we will make a video about it.
Take care!
Detailed and to the point review. I agree with another commenter about the music. No big deal though. Keep it up gents.
Great to hear! Thank you!😁
Another great quality video and a wonderfull knife it seems!! keep it up!!
Thanks a lot Mickey!!! You are really fast watching it after it has been launched :D. Awesome!
Excellent review guys! I just got mine in sleipener steel. I really love the design and the bog oak handles. The fit and finish are superb. My only complaint is that the blade is a little too thick for my taste. I would prefer a thinner blade for a knife of this size.
Thanks a lot!!😁👍 Cool! It is a great knife! This weekend it will be used again🔥💪. Really well manufactured. I agree that it is a quite thick blade but on the other hand… it helps with batoning and feather sticking still goes so smooth. Enjoy your knife!
Hi guys, first time I watch one of your videos. I am going to subscribe because it looks like you have fun with what you do and the scenario is great. Well done
Hi Antonio! Thank you very much for your subscription to our channel! We indeed love what we do and happy to hear others like it! Thanks!!
Good video but you shout hold back on the music. Thanks
Thanks for pointing out. We had a number of same comments. Helps us getting better in the editing process 👍
Looks like a great knife. Love the bog oak! For me the compact size seems perfect. More than capable for most larger tasks but small enough to control when doing smaller carving tasks. I'll be getting one I think.
Hej Sam! It really is!! Beautiful craftsmanship. If you want a small knife with excellent control this is something for you. Feather sticking is pure joy. Thanks for your comment and have a great weekend!
@@westcoastbushcrafters Brilliant thank you! Do you have any experience with other Casstrom knives?
Very welcome 😁👍! We love the Lars Fält kife. Check out our latest episode about that one. The no. 10 we have as well. Super comfortable handle on that one! Both in scandi and flat grind. Flat grind no. 10 is a great food prepper. All have good spines. Cheers!
Great video guys, I've got one on order and can't wait to try it
Thank you very much!! :) Congratulations! Think you will like it, enjoy!
Ahaaa! A good start on this stormy Thursday!
Haha happy to have helped with that ,-)
Seems like a nice knife! Awesome video guys!
Thanks you Bas! Thanks for watching and following us!
Hi guys absolutely great vidios I would like your opinion on the casstrom woodsman and the casstrom lars falt knife whitch one out of these two knives proformas the best really not shure can not make my mind up they both look great look forward to here from you guys 👍
Hi Darren! Thanks a lot!! Nice to hear! Yeah we understand your dilemma haha... We recommend in that case the Lars Fält version. It gives a bit more length which makes it easier to do batoning. Also a great feathersticker. Woodsman is very compact and easy to use. It gives a lot of control. But in your situation we would have bought the Lars Fält first and later on the Woodsman ;-). Hope this helped. Have a great weekend!
@@westcoastbushcrafters Hi guys thank you so much for getting back to me that is a massive help I really appreciate it sorry for late reply busy weekend because I was getting married so couldn't check my phone lol thanks again take care of your selves and keep up the fantastic work 👍
