Casström builds knives from Lycksele, a trading town on the Ume River deep in Swedish Lapland, where founder and chief designer David Cassini Bäckström still inspects every blade before it ships. Founded in 2007 and making knives since 2012, the company runs one of the more serious quality regimes in the business: cryogenically quenched blades, hand-finished handles in curly birch and bog oak, European vegetable-tanned leather sheaths, and a 25-year warranty on knives designed to outlive their first owner.
The No.10 Swedish Forest Knife was Casström's first design and remains the flagship, a full-tang 10cm blade in 14C28N with your choice of scandi or flat grind, widely regarded as the working answer to bushcraft knives costing three times as much. The Woodsman shrinks the blade for finer carving control while keeping the same stock thickness, running Sleipner tool steel with curly birch or bog oak and an included firesteel, and the newer No.8 brings the Forest Knife pattern down to an 8cm everyday size.
The Lars Fält series carries the name and input of Sweden's most respected survival instructor, a Swedish Armed Forces survival school veteran who has trained alongside the British SAS and American Special Forces. His fixed blade runs a zero scandi grind in Sleipner sized for batoning and shelter work, joined here by a curly birch lockback folder for camp chores. The Järv series, named for the wolverine, reworks the proven patterns in dark-stained birch with Uddeholm 15N20 carbon steel at a nimbler 3.2mm stock. Leather dangler attachments and the Overstrike axe guard round out a lineup equally at home on a hunting belt or a bushcraft kit.
