Elmax Tanto Knife Blank - EL08 (EL08)

Elmax Tanto Knife Blank - EL08

A tanto blade concentrates mass behind the point. That makes it the pattern of choice where a tip is likely to take abuse. Full tang construction.

As a PM stainless, Elmax outlasts conventional steels considerably. It is the choice for a knife meant to last decades.

Every blank starts as certified Voestalpine stock. We profile and hand grind it in our own workshop, then send it back to Voestalpine for professional heat treatment.
