About the 12C27 SteelThe Eggen uses 12C27, a Swedish martensitic stainless chromium steel now produced by Alleima and originally associated with Sandvik. Alleima describes 12C27 as a knife steel offering a combination of high hardness, good corrosion resistance and high wear resistance, and specifically lists hunting and fishing knives among its typical applications. Its fine-carbide structure is also designed to support keen edges and good toughness. For the Eggen, this makes 12C27 a practical choice for an outdoor knife where a sharp, durable and relatively corrosion-resistant blade is desirable.
The Helle Eggen brings together a proven Norwegian knife design, curly birch handle and practical 12C27 stainless steel blade in a compact format. Supplied with a genuine black leather sheath, it is a useful choice for hunters, campers and outdoor users who appreciate traditional Scandinavian knife construction and straightforward functionality.
