UDDEHOLM SLEIPNER (Data Sheet)
"Uddeholm's modern version of the classic D2 tool steel, with improved toughness to better fit active knife use. Even though this is not a PM steel, the finer steel structure in Uddeholm Sleipner gives better machinability, polishability and edge retention."
UDDEHOLM ELMAX (Data Sheet)
"Third generation powder metal technology. Noted for its fine carbide distribution with extremely low inclusion content for virtually no chip-out. An excellent balance between corrosion resistance and edge retention. Can be polished to an extremely high finish. Hardens and tempers to 57-59 HRC and 60-62 HRC with deep freeze. For maximum toughness, harden and temper to 57-59 HRC. For maximum wear resistance, harden and temper to 60-62 HRC."
BÖHLER K110 (D2) (Data Sheet)
"We have Bohler K110, our name for D2. Stock in thicknesses from 3/32 to 3/16. The surface is hot rolled, but with minimal scale. The steel is very fine grained. D2 produced with Bohler's cross-rolling technology that produces a fine, uniform grained steel. The best D2 available for hand knives."
