Casström No.8 SFK - Compact Scandinavian Utility Knife for the Outdoors.
Don't let its size fool you - the Casström No.8 SFK is truly a "Little Big Knife". A small knife with big capabilities. Inspired by the rugged versatility of the popular No.10 SFK and a few centuries of Scandinavian utility knives, this compact fixed blade is purpose built for serious bushcraft, hunting, and outdoor use.
Designed with precision and crafted for everyday performance, The No.8 SFK excels in wood carving, making feathersticks, food prep and other camp tasks. Lightweight yet tough, it's the ideal companion for minimalist adventurers, preppers, and outdoor enthusiasts who value compactness and power.
-
Perfectly balanced design: The 8cm long and 3mm thick blade is tailored for those who appreciate a knife that is just the right size for close work like whittling and woodcarving and food prep. Its ergonomic handle, complete with a reassuring finger groove, offers a secure and comfortable grip.
-
Versatile and comfortable: Whether you have large or small hands, the No.8 SFK fits comfortably, allowing for precise control. The knife is the ideal size for safely “choking up” on the blade for finer wood carving tasks.
-
Superior Blade Spec: Made from Alleima (formerly Sandvik) 14C28N, a recycled Swedish stainless steel. The optimized chemistry provides a top-grade knife steel with a unique combination of excellent edge performance, high hardness, and good corrosion resistance as well as ease of sharpening. Casström blades are all cryo-quenched as standard too, which enhances wear resistance and fulfils the true potential of the steel.
-
Wilderness reliability: The scandi grind, and full-tang construction help make the blade both stable and robust, even under demanding conditions. Even in the event of a handle break, a full-tang knife can still be easily used. The scandi grind is perfect for carving wood.
-
Bushcraft Ready: On its own or paired with an axe or larger blade, the No.8 SFK completes your essential bushcraft tool combination. Its lightweight design makes it an excellent belt knife, or a more specific game prep or fishing knife.
-
Premium Handle Options: Choose between the elegant beauty of hand-finished Scandinavian Curly Birch or the weather resistance of tough Green Micarta – both paired with our vegetable-tanned European Leather Sheath with the stylish Casström Leaf emblem on the front face.
