A Grohmann knife needs to be used to be appreciated and you can feel the quality handmade construction  immediately when you hold one in your hand. They are comfortable and versatile to use and built to last with quality materials and attention to detail. The type of steel used in the knives was chosen by the original maker and has stood the test of time for durability and ease of sharpening.

- for Outdoor Knives: Fixed blades-German 4110 Stainless and C70 type Carbon; AUS6 for the Folders- all with a hardness of 56-58 Rockwell;
