Hi I'm new here so please be patient, I'm looking to get my hands on a traditional bushcraft knife and have a falkniven s1 to off load before the Mrs will let me. I've been running as Scout leader survival camps but over the past couple of years steared more to a bushcraft style, I saw a video of a casstrom Woodsman knife on YouTube and have been besotted, any help please would be appreciated.
 
That's a very nice looking knife, not too familiar with the steel though.

You might be able to get some very similar looking knives with scandi/curly birch for a bit cheaper...take a look at the Enzo Trapper which is made in a variety of different steels.

If the Mrs. is cramping your budget you can get very similar looking knives with scandi/curly birch for a fraction of the price...take a look at the Enzo Trapper.

Hi and thanks for the reply, I'm also trying to part with my falkniven s1 which just sits in the drawer and has had very little use, I'm after a more classic looking knife than the falkniven which I'd like to sell and go towards it. Ps the enzo is very nice tho!
 
I currently own the S1 and owned a Casström Woodsman until a week ago. The Woodsman is a well balansed and ergonomic knife for most bushcrafting tasks. However, in comparison to the S1 it will fall short for more horsing around activities like batoning.
 
I have both the Viking and Carpenter. IMHO the Carpenter would be better for your purposes. Better grip and blade style. Iuse to carry a 3-4 inch puukko backpacking. DON'T get the UHC Carpenter - they can't be sharpened except with diamond hones or a lot, very lot of work on most any other stone (have both; never carried the UHC in the field in case it needed sharpening). Also, Enzo makes very good knives (have two).
