The Casström Safari was designed by Alan Wood. This British knife maker has a reputation as one of the best in the world. Among other things, he is known for his collaborations with Ray Mears. The fantastic performance and ergonomics are therefore absolutely no coincidence: Wood knows what it takes to make a good knife.

The blade is made from Swedish Sandvik 12C27 steel. Rust resistant and easy to resharpen. Very handy. The thin hollow grinding of the blade is striking. This makes for a great knife. The handle is, as you would expect from Casström, extremely comfortable. Even with prolonged use, it still lies comfortably in your hand. This knife allows you to exert a great deal of control over the relatively short blade.

The handle is made of G10. This is an extremely strong composite material. Remarkable and rare for a production knife is the tapered tang. This means that Casström tapered the part of the knife that sits between the handle parts to the end of the handle. This looks tremendously beautiful and at the same time ensures that the balance is perfect.

The Casström Safari comes with a solid leather sheath. This has a belt loop for a belt up to (approximately) 5 cm wide.
