Collection: Elmax Knives

Elevate your cutting experience with our premium collection of Elmax knives at Blade Forge. Elmax steel, produced by the esteemed Uddeholm (now Böhler-Uddeholm) in Sweden, is a sophisticated third-generation powdered metallurgy stainless steel that truly lives up to its reputation as a "stainless tool steel." It masterfully combines attributes typically found in high-performance tool steels – exceptional wear resistance and toughness – with the superior corrosion resistance of a premium stainless steel. For knife enthusiasts in Australia seeking a high-end blade that offers a remarkable balance of all key performance metrics, an Elmax knife is an outstanding investment.

Elmax Steel: A Masterpiece of Powdered Metallurgy
Elmax is produced via a powder metallurgy (PM) process, which creates an extremely uniform grain structure and finely distributed carbides. Its rich alloy composition includes high levels of chromium, vanadium, and molybdenum, all working in synergy to deliver:

• Exceptional Edge Retention: Thanks to its high volume of hard vanadium carbides, Elmax boasts excellent wear resistance, allowing it to hold a razor-sharp edge through extensive and demanding use, significantly reducing sharpening frequency.
• Superior Corrosion Resistance: With its high chromium content and PM structure, Elmax offers outstanding resistance to rust and staining. This makes it a genuinely stainless super steel, ideal for diverse environments, including humid conditions or those involving exposure to moisture and chemicals.
• Excellent Toughness for a Super Steel: A standout feature of Elmax is its remarkable toughness, especially considering its high wear resistance. It's highly resistant to chipping and breaking, providing a level of resilience often seen in non-stainless tool steels, but within a stainless package.
• Balanced Performance Profile: Elmax is celebrated for its ability to deliver a near-perfect balance across edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, making it a highly versatile and dependable choice.
