The Vikings are still a synonym for extraordinary abilities. Not only were they brave and courageous seamen and warriors, but also very competent forgers. Designed by the renowned knifemaker Jesper Voxnaes from Denmark, the homeland of the Vikings, and handmade in the Boker Manufactory in Solingen, Germany, the home of high quality blades, the Gorm (named after the first Danish king) combines ageless virtues which make this knife series a real masterpiece of kitchen cutlery. The choice of materials is as extraordinary as the design. Equipped with stainless 440C steel with its high edge retention and a Rockwell hardness of 58-59- HRC, Gorm is by far superior to any ordinary kitchen knife blades, and is as tough as the Vikings. The characteristically shaped hole in the blade makes the Gorm especially unique. This new design by Hungarian knifemaker Peter Farkas is the ultimate EDC with its slim design. The flat handle scales are carbon fiber and provide a comfortable grip. The 440C stainless steel blade is flat ground and features a pronounced ribbing around the tang allowing a wide range of applications. Includes a leather sheath with steel clip for easy carry. Available in April 2014. Blade?length:?2 3/4". Overall?length:?6 3/4". Weight: 5.4 oz.
