Sleipner Knife Blank - S12 (S12)

Sleipner Knife Blank - S12

This blank arrives ground and hardened, which removes the two hardest steps from a knife build.

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.

Steel sourced from Voestalpine, hand ground by our team, then heat treated professionally at the mill. Every blank arrives at working hardness.
