A guide to materials for your adventures
- Carbon steel: The first choice for bushcraft enthusiasts. Offers exceptional sharpness and easy field sharpening but requires regular oil maintenance.
- Stainless steel: Ideal for EDC (Everyday Carry) and outdoor activities in humid environments. Provides excellent corrosion resistance with minimal maintenance.
- Damascus steel: A combination of superior mechanical properties and unique craftsmanship design. Damascus knives are popular among collectors and demanding users who value both aesthetics and performance.
- Tool steel (e.g. D2, Sleipner): Materials with high wear resistance. A great choice for hunting and work tasks where long-lasting edge retention is essential.
- Powder steel (e.g. Elmax, M390): The peak of modern metallurgy for the most demanding users, combining extreme hardness with excellent corrosion resistance.
How to choose the right knife for your needs?
Your choice should reflect your lifestyle. While lightweight folding knives made of stainless steel are ideal for everyday tasks in the city, for outdoor expeditions and hunting practice we recommend robust fixed-blade knives made from tougher steels that can withstand heavy use.
