Something a very special which I am posting here today.
The knife for sale here is the Orange Mango wood blade, the other has already been purchased.
This blade is Vanax which is the only 100% rust proof steel available. It is an ear watering expensive steel which is only made in small batches by Uddeholm in Sweden each year. It is a super pure powder steel like Elmax but uses a slighty different technology in its production where Nitrogen is added. It is also different than other steels in that it HAS to be soaked in either liquid nitrogen or dry ice @ -170 c or it will not harden, all of which adds to the expense. Blades of Vanax are literally the panicle of knife steels, very rare as I haven’t seen anyone else make one in the UK.

This blade is Vanax ground to an extremely thin full flat with a 15 degree micro bevel Vanax has the strength to go down to around 10 or 11 degrees due to the super fine structure of the steel, basically zero imperfections at a microscopic level and an a superb 3 dimensional stability not seen in other steels. As with Elmax , is a powder alloy ‘super steel’ with extreme wear resistance and edge holding capabilities, hence is must be sharpened with diamond, but the trade off is , it will stay sharper for far longer than other steels. This blade is shaper than a Gillette safety razor! Obviously a knife like this is something special due to the cost of the steel and processing.
