Sleipner Knife Blank - S17 (S17)

Sleipner Knife Blank - S17

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.

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.
