Elmax Steel

I’ve heard about Elmax Steel, but never handled it. I found a small knife in Elmax from Bradford USA and thought I would try it. This is basically handle assembly and sharpening to see how it works.

I went back to the left over pen turning block, aluminum tube, sanded and shaped, finished with Boiled Linseed Oil.

I like this steel, it holds an edge extremely well and it’s fairly light. I just ordered a 12×2 inch flat stock to make my own.

we will see how easy it is to work with.
