The Casström Safari Mini Hunter is, despite its robust design, a very light and compact knife that is easy to carry. It has an ingenious handle design with a tapered tang that makes the knife very nicely balanced and comfortable in the hand. The design in combination with the materials used makes this a very beautiful but highly resilient piece of kit. Ideal as a small skinner or food prep knife.

About the designer:
Alan Wood has been a professional knifemaker since 1985 and has become the UK’s most emulated craftsman due to his practical and attractive designs. Also well known for his collaboration with survival expert Ray Mears.

About the design:
“The initial concept was to attempt to design a hunter’s knife that produced a tool of minimum dimensions which was still efficient in use. At first, it was for the large proportion of British deerstalkers who hunt for the smaller species such as roe and muntjac. However, it was picked up by others such as the Swedish hunter Jeppe Stridh as an ideal cutting tool for his country’s elk hunters in combination with a forest axe. Further research has shown that it is an adequate and popular compact belt accessory for those on safari, hence the name. Basically, an easily carried tool that can be used to remove the viscera and to perform basic skinning to save a trophy cape when far from the vehicle’s tool kit. “ / Alan Wood Cr 13.5%
