Elmax combines high chromium, vanadium and molybdenum for stainless properties and “super-steel” edge life, yet its fine powder grain lets Fällkniven’s famous convex grind take a razor polish without chipping.
A family firm from Norrbotten, Sweden, Fällkniven has crafted world-class knives since 1987 and has supplied His Majesty the King of Sweden since 1999.
