Top-quality powder steel produced by powder metallurgy

A corrosion-resistant, martensitic, high-alloy chromium steel produced using powder metallurgy by Bohler. It is characterised by its almost unbelievable wear resistance, and a knife blade made from this steel is the hallmark of a luxury product! Once polished, it takes on a beautiful ice-blue colour and can be polished to a mirror finish. We heat-treat this steel to a hardness of around 63 HRC.
