The No.14 is a new knife designed by Casstr\u00f6m to tackle the toughest challenges nature throws your way. Built for rugged outdoor use, bushcrafting, survival skills training, or hunting. With its full-tang construction, the No.14 SFK&#8217;s large blade is great for those bigger more demanding jobs, like splitting wood but also just as happy carving too. This example features green Linen Micarta handles and A8Mod steel, and is supplied with a vegetable-tanned leather sheath.<br \/>\nThe Casstr\u00f6m Lars Falt Slip Joint was created in collaboration with world-renowned Swedish survivalist Lars F\u00e4lt, and was designed to meet UK EDC legal requirements by virtue of having a non-locking folding blade under 3 inches with a sturdy opening and closing mechanism. The handle is crafted from beautiful Scandinavian curly birch, offering a secure and comfortable grip, and the blade steel is cryo-quenched Alleima (formerly Sandvik) 14C28N, a recycled Swedish stainless steel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Casstrom-No-14-00-feature-IMG20240721171022.jpg\" alt=\"\"

sharpen it. That first factory edge is just like the first tank of fuel that a new car comes with (or first charge of the battery).<br \/>\nA good factory edge is a &#8216;nice to have&#8217; but not a &#8216;make or break&#8217; for a good knife, as you will be putting your own edge onto it soon enough.<br \/>\nThe factory edge does however indicate the care a knife maker has put into the final finish.<br \/>\nIt is for this reason Tactical Reviews measures factory edge sharpness and specifications, and includes this information in the detailed technical testing.<\/p>\n<p>As a further look at the factory edge, this section has been added to include some high magnification photos of the factory edges.<\/p>\n<p><b>The No. 14&#8217;s Edge:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Once you move onto the next gallery with the Lars F\u00e4lt Slip Joint&#8217;s Edge, you will see the clear difference between this knife&#8217;s zero grind edge, and when there is the extra bevel.<br \/>\nCasstrom advise you to add a micro-bevel if you intend to subject the No 14 to heavy chopping to help stabilise the edge and prevent chipping. Having given this zero grind edge a beating to intentionally see if it would chip, so far it has remained intact.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-14155 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-14155 { --fg-gutter: 10px; }<\/style>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"foogallery foogallery-container foogallery-default foogallery-lightbox-foobox fg-center fg-m-col2 fg-default fg-ready fg-dark fg-border-thin fg-round-medium fg-loading-default fg-loaded-fade-in fg-caption-hover fg-hover-fade fg-hover-zoom fg-no-js\" id=\"foogallery-gallery-14155\" data-foogallery=\"{&quot;item&quot;:{&quot;showCaptionTitle&quot;:true,&quot;showCaptionDescription&quot;:true},&quot;lazy&quot;:true,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;src&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;srcset&quot;}\" style=\"--fg-title-line-clamp: 0; --fg-description-line-clamp: 0;\" >\n\t<div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Casstrom-Edge-05.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"14156\" data-caption-title=\"Casstrom-Edge-05\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2025\/01\/Casstrom-Edge-05\/1358827557.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Casstrom-Edge-06.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"14157\" data-caption-title=\"Casstrom-Edge-06\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2025\/01\/Casstrom-Edge-06\/12602841.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Casstrom-Edge-07.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"14158\" data-caption-title=\"Casstrom-Edge-07\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2025\/01\/Casstrom-Edge-07\/4224716388.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Casstrom-Edge-08.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"14159\" data-caption-title=\"Casstrom-Edge-08\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2025\/01\/Casstrom-Edge-08\/4232136407.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<hr color=\"#333333\"><\/hr>\n<p><b>The Lars F\u00e4lt Slip Joint&#8217;s Edge:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Yes, these are magnified, and are showing a 1mm scale, but even so I feel this is more than a micro-bevel, and more into the realms of a small edge bezel.

The only time you will catch me out and about with only one knife is if I&#8217;ve lost all but the one I still have, so I am always partnering up knives. This is to have different knives to better suit the various cutting tasks, which is more comfortable and helps you do more work with less effort. So, although specifically partnered as a Casstrom pairing for this review, it is a partnership I would happily make for function and looks, any day.<br \/>\nTo best show their relative sizes, this gallery includes each knife in my XL glove sized hands.

edged tool use, I&#8217;ve been finding where the No. 14 best fits. With the blade grind and thickness, I&#8217;ve found it struggles with outright cross-grain chopping. That thicker blade and wide wedge grind retards the penetration of each strike, ending up almost bouncing back when using a chopping action, combined with a relatively slim handle and the No. 14 wasn&#8217;t working for me as an outright chopper. Where this limitation suddenly becomes a benefit is with splitting tasks. Batoning the knife into end grain to split, and it becomes a doddle. The extra blade length giving you more room to strike it, and the wedge-shaped grind being excellent at splitting along the grain.<br \/>\nIf the diameter of the wood being struck with a chopping action is thin enough, the wedge effect of the thicker blade is no longer a problem, so cleaning up bigger branches by whipping off the side shoots works well with the No. 14&#8217;s longer and heavier blade; this type of chopping action does work well. It is more a matter of knowing the characteristics and working with them than trying to make the knife do something it is not good at.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the suggestion of adding a micro-bevel to protect the edge, I wanted to test the toughness of Casstrom&#8217;s A8 Mod and heat treat, and despite going full whack on the blade, so far I&#8217;ve seen no edge chipping; a great outcome. I prefer the zero grind edge so as far as I am concerned I&#8217;ll take that risk and stick with it.<\/p>\n<p>On the subject of zero grinds, I fully intend to take the Lars F\u00e4lt edge to a zero grind, but as this will take a bit of work due to the mini-bevel on the factory edge, haven&#8217;t got it done in time for this article. This will be a super fine edge, especially compared to the factory bevel at 30 DPS, so I might end up putting the micro-bevel back on.<\/p>\n<p>For a slip-joint the firmness of action makes a big difference to the experience. If the action is too stiff, it can be difficult to use and worrying to close. This Lars F\u00e4lt is reassuringly firm in action, almost verging on too stiff. In fact having asked people less familiar with edged tools to try it, they struggled to open and close this knife safely (I had to intervene). Due to the stiffness, the nail nick doesn&#8217;t work for me and I have to use a pinch grip on the blade, carefully taking it to the half stop and readjusting my grip to fully open the blade. In use it has certainly instilled confidence that the blade will stay where it should (with correct technique of course). Being able to chose a UK EDC Legal slip-joint with a scandi grind is a really nice addition to my carry options, and one I can carry without having to worry if I should or shouldn&#8217;t have it on me.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-14177 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-14177 { --fg-gutter: 10px; }<\/style>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"foogallery
