Sleipner Knife Blank - S40 (S40)

Sleipner Knife Blank - S40

A hardened, ground blade blank ready for handle work. The heat treatment is done and the geometry is set — everything after this is yours.

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.

Certified Voestalpine steel, hand ground in our workshop, professionally heat treated by Voestalpine before it ships. That is the whole process.
