Thread: Svord Curved Skinner

I am aware of N690, its Austrian, the same company makes Elmax, of which I have a knife with that in it, and that's tuff! I understand N690 is similar to vg10, it's sometimes, maybe poorly, compared to 440c, either way though it stainless and not a carbon steel so you can't really compare it to Svords steel, apple to apples and all that.

But back to you John, if I was looking for a little fixed blade with a 2.5-3 inch blade with a slight downward curve and a sheeps foot point for use in the garden and brewery (cutting cable ties, pruning hops, chopping out weeds), and no guard, with a say 3.5 inch handle and little leather sheath, would that be something you would make?

I compare N690 with Svord steels (carbon and stainless) because its vastly superior and can be purchased in quality knives at a cheaper price. Viz, ENZO. I have one, and it makes Svord look like a rough joke.

EnZo Trapper Knives

Its N695 that has similar characteristics to 440C. N690 is superior to 695. I’ve used both on deer.
