Swedish Steel Japanese knives

Swedish steel is popular in Japanese knives for its purity, consistency, and ease of use. Typically referring to steels like Sandvik 19C27 or 14C28N, it offers excellent sharpness, good edge retention, and high corrosion resistance.

Swedish steel is usually hardened to around 58–61 HRC, making it easy to sharpen and maintain without sacrificing durability. Its fine grain structure allows for precise, clean cuts, and it responds well to whetstone sharpening. For users seeking a reliable, low-maintenance knife with a stainless finish and smooth cutting feel, Swedish steel is a strong choice that balances performance with ease of care.
