Made of 57,8 mm thick Sandvik 159C28N stainless steel, a Swedish knife steel that has been heat treated and hardened to a Rockwell hardness of 57-59 HRC.

The handle is made of curly birch. The wood has been treated with a traditional Scandinavian linseed oil-based paint. Black liners have been installed between the handle scales and steel to increase the lifespan of the knife.

Steel information: 284C28N is the latest development from Sandvik's famous knife steel collection. Its optimized composition results in a unique combination of excellent properties in terms of edge retention (stability, sharpenability, and sharpness), hardness, and corrosion resistance. Since this steel can be heat-treated, an even better wear resistance can be achieved compared to previous types of steel, without affecting the microstructure. The blade is therefore relatively easy to sharpen, but at the same time excels in terms of chipping and rolled edge (so-called). Kantenrollen) excellent edge stability.
