Stainless
steel (S)
Knife
blades are made of hardenable stainless steel (hardened to HRC 57),
producing knives with extreme strength, long life as well as having
high resistance to moisture without rusting.
Carbon
steel (C)
Knife blades of
high carbon steel can be hardened to HRC 59-60 giving best possible
sharpness to lowest price. Please note that for export markets most
of the knives of carbon or laminated steel are oiled or treated to prevent
rusting during transport and storing. Knives made from above mentioned
steel grades will after some use achieve a dullish grey finish. However,
this will not negatively affect the quality of the blade.
On the contrary it will somewhat improve the resistance to corrosion.
Triflex
(T)
This modified carbon
steel is best described as a material between laminated steel and plain
carbon steel hardened to HRC 59-60 with a softer surface that improves
the tensile strength considerably.
Though it will not allow bending as laminated steel.
Laminated
steel (L)
This steel grade
is inique to Frost's knives. The core of the blade is of high carbon
steel surrounded by a softer alloyed steel layer. A high hardness (HRC
61) can be achieved through hardening, resulting in a knife blade with
superior toughness, cutting edge retention and thereby maximum sharpness
and long life.
The blade can also be bent into a predetermined shape.
