Sleipner Knife Blank - S20 (S20)

Sleipner Knife Blank - S20

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

Sleipner is chosen where edge retention matters more than stainless behaviour. At 60-62 HRC it holds an edge through serious work and still sharpens sensibly.

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