Scandi Brother #2. Elmax


This knife is hand forged out of a piece of Swedish Elmax powder metallurgy steel. 

Uddeholm Elmax is a high chromium, vanadium- molybdenum - alloyed third generation powder metallurgy steel with high wear resistance, high compressive strength, corrosion resistance and very good dimensional stability. High wear resistance is normally connected to low corrosion resistance and vice versa. In Uddeholm Elmax SuperClean it has however been able to achieve this unique combination of properties by a powder-metallurgy-based production. Elmax Steel chemical compounds are as follows: Carbon 1.7%, Silicon 0.8%, Manganese 0.3%, Chromium 18.0%, Molybdenum 1.0%, Vanadium 3.0%.




After the grinding is done, the knife is heated in a computer controlled oven to precisely 1080°C (1976°F) and then quenched in a circulated air quench. To reach the 61 HRC hardness for the blade it is subzero treated for 2 hours at -80°C (-112°F) in dry ice. This is also called cryogenic hardening or deep cooling. The super cool temperatures transform the steel structure from austenite into martensite. Cryogenic hardening relieves some stress, raises the Rockwell hardness by 1-3 points and refines the internal grain structure of the steel. The knife is then annealed for 2 hours in a tempering oven of 220°C (428°F). 

The blade for this knife is matted using a very smooth sand blast stream. The sand for this final abrasive is taken out of our local river-bed. Afterwards, the blade is smoothly polished with diamond polishing paste, giving the blade a satin finish. Afterwards the knife is honed to razor sharpness.
