Sleipner Puukko Knife Blank - S53
The puukko is Finland's contribution to knife design and still one of the most practical patterns ever drawn. Short, stiff, and shaped for carving.
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.
Steel sourced from Voestalpine, hand ground by our team, then heat treated professionally at the mill. Every blank arrives at working hardness.
