Laminated Steel

This steel grade is unique to Frosts Knives. The core of the blade is of high carbon steel surrounded by a softer alloyed steel layer. A high hardness (HRC 61) can be achieved through hardenning, reslulting in a knife blade with superior toughness, cutting edge retention and therby maximum sharpness and long life. The blade can also be bent into a predetermined shape.

Triflex

This modified carbon steel is best described as a material between laminated steel and plain carbon steel hardened to HRC 59-60 with a softer surface that improves the tensile strength considerably. Though it will not allow bending as laminated steel.

Carbon Steel

Knife blades of high carbon steel can be hardened to HRC 59-60 giving best possible sharpness to lowest price. Please note that for export markets most of the knives of carbon or laminated steel are oiled or treated to prevent rusting during transport and storage. Knives made from the above mentioned steel grades will, after some use, achieve a dullish grey finish.However, this will not negatively affect the quality of the blade. On the contrary, it will somewhat improve to corrosion.

Stainless Steel

Knife blades are made of hardenable stainless steel (hardened to HRC 57), producing knives with extreme strength, long life, as well as having high resistance to moisture without rusting.
