The Casstrom Lars Falt Bushcraft Knife from Sweden may may not be a great fit for the Kephart knife series, but it shares enough similarities with the Kephart design that I thought it was worth including. Truthfully, I think it is a good example of how Horace Kephart designed his classic knife based on sound universal design features found on classic knives the world over.

Hi, the Lars Fãlt knife was designed by Ray Mears and Lars Fãlt (who are close friends) from the inspiration of the Woodlore knife by Ray Mears and Allen Wood. So, it's not considered a Kephart knife by design. Ray got his inspiration from Scandinavian knife makers with an emphasis on wood carving and bushcraft. Designed with a scandi grind, a 90°spine and a thick blade to handle hardcore Bushcraft tasks. The latest models (distributed within this pass year) Casström Lars Fãlt knives are fashioned out of an updated Sleipner steel (not BÖHLER k720) which is corrosion resistant, has better edge retention and increased hardness. On the other hand, the Kephart was more like a butcher knife initially, save modern renditions that incorporated Bushcraft knife alterations "LT Wright Genesis" being one of these examples. So it's actually the opposite. The modern style Kephart knives design features were taken from Bushcraft knives (that being ones with the scandi grind), notably the Woodlore. Oh, and the pronunciation is like "fault". Hope this helped 😊

My native Sweden produces some of the best outdoor knives in the world, this one in particular is no exception. Casström's Scandinavian designed knives are definitely money well spent for a lifetime of enjoyment. Thanks for the great review!

Pleased to say I met Lars on an Arctic survival course and also have this knife. Lars is a legend and his knife does not disappoint. recommend for sure.

Look at Joker knives on amazon. They make these Casstrom knives in Spain and they are the same knives but better prices.. 👍🏼 It is well known that Joker knives in Spain make the swedish Casstrom knives. Same fit and finish great great quality

Hey Bryan, I’ve always thought of that knife as more of a Woodlore style than a Kephart. Either way, great video!

@JohnSmith-gs4lw 3 года назад

Agreed. I’m glad he had them side by side because you can see they almost couldn’t be any more different. Either way, super stoked to see him spending some time on bushcraft blades and not “fighting” knives.

@kongandbasses8732 3 года назад

Agreed, too. There are more differences than similaritys. Anyway, a nice knife. Stay safe everybody, and stay blessed. Greetings from Germany!

Another great video Brian. Love the kephart series and you sold me on that knife, I've got to have one. Thanks for sharing. God bless

@thomaschainey3230 3 года назад

Great video thanks. Looks like a great knife too. Classic bushcraft and woods knife. I have the folding version, 3 inch blade with the same scales, Scandi knife and love it as I can EDC it around town legally. I think it is a quality folder worth the money I paid. Sharp out of the box and easy to sharpen too.

@SodaPopCurtis808 3 года назад

“But I ain’t Horace”....yes, sir you are you! Great review. I don’t know if I myself would call it a Kephart. Nice knife overall. I would buy it but I already have two other Kepharts that I am fully satisfied with.

@maxviking3210 2 года назад

Nice video! Your pronunciation of Lars Fält was very good. He started as an officer at the oldest ranger battalion in I22 in kiruna in the very north of sweden, then moved to the Para Rangers where he started the Army’s (nowdays armed forces) survival school where I met him during my time at the paras. He was educated in both the SAS and the SEAL and also Green Berets if I remember correctly. I learned a lot from him.

What I noticed off the Bat, that I really love is that the handle comes all the way up to meet the blade. Better for carving.

@mrhalfstep 3 года назад

Bryan, I saw your interview with the guy that designed that Kephart knife. That ol' boy is the real deal! Of all the knives you've shown in this series, I have to say, The "Standard" Kephart has been the one I like best. I think I even know why. When I look at the end of that knife I see almost an Old Hickory butcher knife shape. Then I look again and I see a throwing knife shape, which would also be good for digging and gouging in wood, when I wasn't fightin' off a bear or mountain lion. That grind that starts almost at the spine and tapers in a simple flat down to the secondary edge, which is only there to give some durability to the edge, and just screams "Make some feathers, Make some feathers!" LOL I do know, because I'm the cook around here since my wife's stroke, that that is an excellent blade shape and grind for meal tasks. It just really looks utilitarian to me, although I really don't claim to know a lot about bush knives, personally.

I have a beautiful William Collins WoodsJourney knife with the same wood. This would make a sweet companion for it. Nice knife.

@nicholaspilgrim1084 3 года назад

@mikeboone4425 3 года назад

Hard to even fathom the prices of knives today but the steel is the price fixer takes some time to make these wonder steels . Happy trails . But very good looking knife.

@Jonsson474 2 года назад

You can get this knife for $90-$140 in Sweden. I’m sure the retailers in the US have quite a good margin on these knifes.

@alfreducu1 3 года назад

Spanish knives, rebranded or not, are among the best cost to quality ratio. I highly reccomend them, check out brands like Joker (manufacurer of that very knife), Nieto or Muela: they really offer great bang for your bucks. Great vid as usual, Byan!

@jonhighsmith803 3 года назад

Just finished watching John MacArthur preach on the lust of the eye lust of the Flesh and the pride of life and that knife is a sure enough three strikes! I know it's tough but don't think I'd be using it like one of my Mora's.

In Sweden, you can buy these knives unfinished, with the blade and two pieces of wood of your choice, so you can shape the handle so that it fits your hand.

I own the Lars Fãlt and the Woodlore. The Lars Fãlt was designed by Ray Mears and Lars Fãlt (who are great friends) from the inspiration of the Woodlore and has nothing to do in design with the original Kephart knife.

@Jonsson474 2 года назад

The casström is especially good for wood carving so I’m not even sure you would have to use a baton to get through that piece of wood. 🙂

I thought the kephart had a full convex from spine to egde ...tear drop profile not flat ....thats what the original geometry was?

@petersilie3612 3 года назад

Hey, whats the difference between K720 Steel and Sleipner Steel?

@SurvivalOnPurpose 3 года назад

From The Cas Iberia website: "Böhler Tool Steel K720* (O2) is a very tough and strong oil hardened high carbon tool steel. The chemical composition allows it to be hardened to a high degree whilst maintaining ductility and toughness at the same time as it is easy to sharpen and can obtain a razor sharp edge. Whilst easy to sharpen, the low chromium content means it will tarnish if left wet and it must therefore be wiped after use and protected by oil or wax when put away for storage." Made in Germany by Bohler Uddeholm, *Sleipner tool steel* was developed to be a better D2. Under certain conditions at high hardness levels D2 can have a tendency to micro-chip. Sleipner offers many of the advantages as a high hardness tool steel like D2 while offering a much more stable edge. It also offer good wear resistance at high hardness levels, meaning it can take and hold an edge quite well.
