Sleipner EDC Knife Blank - S58
An EDC blade earns its keep by being in your pocket every day. Short enough to carry without thinking about it, stout enough to handle the jobs that come up.
A high-performance tool steel, Sleipner sits between carbon and stainless: harder and longer-lasting than most stainless, easier to live with than plain carbon.
We buy steel direct from Voestalpine, grind each blade by hand on the belt grinder, and return the blanks to Voestalpine for heat treatment done to spec.
