Sleipner Knife Blank - S45
A hardened, ground blade blank ready for handle work. The heat treatment is done and the geometry is set — everything after this is yours. A full tang knife blank, so the scales pin straight to the steel.
Uddeholm Sleipner is a cold-work tool steel with high chromium content, so it resists staining better than ordinary carbon steel while hardening to 60-62 HRC.
Certified Voestalpine steel, hand ground in our workshop, professionally heat treated by Voestalpine before it ships. That is the whole process.
