Sleipner Knife Blank - S52
This blank arrives ground and hardened, which removes the two hardest steps from a knife build. A full tang knife blank, so the scales pin straight to the steel.
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.
We buy steel direct from Voestalpine, grind each blade by hand on the belt grinder, and return the blanks to Voestalpine for heat treatment done to spec.
