Having not worked on my knives for several months I have recently made a few.
All these knives are of the highest grade Swedish Elmax powder steel, this a top level steel designed to be wear resistant which equates to longer lasting edges. Easily maintained with a strop but if it needs to be sharpened it must be with either a diamond or a ceramic sharpening system. I have ground these blades to incredibly fine edges which makes maintenance far easier, Due to the super fine grain structure of Elmax, along with its high compressive strength properties, such edges can be achieved. All my knives are genuine Elmax with the steel coming directly from the steel plant at Hagfors Sweden as opposed to the cheap Chinese 'rip off ' version of the steel
Remember, this is a steel costing around 2.5 times the price of other knife steels. It is only made in small quantities a few times a year, most of that steel goes to the north sea oil industry or food processing industry where high grade steels are a must.
All these knives have been heat treated and then Nitrogen 'soaked' and are 60-61 HRC. All sheaths are made by Gaz Kendall who has done work for the likes of Bentley. They have been 'wet formed/shrunk' as opposed to simple slide on sheaths and have a reassuring 'click' when the knife is placed in. So your knife will not fall out when stalking.
The knife shown below is my Fortis model which is 218mm long with a 102mm edge, the spine is 2.8mm, it has a full flat grind with an 18 degree secondary bevel polished to a mirror. The blade grinds have been scotchbrite finished with the flats hand finished. It is handled in vintage green Micarta, which is food safe and exceptionally tough! Complimented by real bronze pins.
Price - £390 inc secure postage, over 18s only - I will check this before posting.
