Fixed Blade Knife Safari, Black G10, Casström

Fixed Blade Knife Safari with black G10 handle, Casström

The Safari is a small but competent knife designed by renowned English custom knife maker Alan Wood, known for his hand-made bushcraft and deer stalking knives. Alan has been a professional knife maker since 1985 and has become the UK's most emulated craftsman due to his practical and attractive designs. He is also well-known for his collaboration with survival expert Ray Mears.

This compact hunting knife has a 6 cm long 12c27 Swedish stainless steel blade (59 HRC) with a hollow grind. It is made using a full-tang construction and features a tapered tang. The tapered tang and the shape of the handle make for a very nicely balanced and comfortable knife. The black G10 glass fibre laminate handle is tough, waterproof and maintenance free. The knife comes with a sturdy sheath made of cognac brown, vegetable-tanned leather. The sheath features a belt loop and a drain hole.

The combination of design and materials make for a very beautiful and highly resilient piece of equipment which is ideal as a small skinner for small deer or as a small belt knife for safari hunters.

About the steel: Sandvik 12C27 is a very popular stainless steel for Scandinavian knives, owing to its great combination of good edge performance (stability and ability to take an edge), high hardness and good corrosion resistance. Blade re-sharpening is easy and edge stability in terms of microchipping and edge folding or rolling is also good.
