Idun Hunting Knife
Introducing one of the world’s most advanced hunting knives. Mod. NL5cx Idun, with a blade in Cowry X Damascus steel from Fallkniven. This is probably the world’s best edge steel, all categories, and definitely one of the most exclusive blades ever made.
The edge comprises a powder steel with the following extreme content: C 3%, Cr 20%, Mo 1%, V 0.3% and iron to 100%. Its hardness is no less than 64 HRC! The sides consist of stainless, 120-layer Damascus steel with an edge of powdered steel. This forms a blade which in its beauty and strength is world class, no less. The fittings are of solid nickel silver, while the rest of the handle is stacked leather and fiber washers.
The knife is manufactured in strictly limited numbers, but it should be available for at least a few more years. The knife is an excellent utility hunting knife, but in all probability, most customers will acquire it for its exclusive collectability. Whichever, demand will probably outstrip supply.
