    The “Tre Kronor” line blends the latest martensitic technologies with the ancient roots of the Swedish royal family. In fact, these knives are the only ones that bear the royal symbol of the three crowns on the blade and on the beautiful wooden box that contains the knife and sheath.

    The laminated steel used is currently one of the finest industrial steels on the market and consists of an inner layer of 62HRC powder-molded SGPS paired with two outer layers of VG2. The knives thus exhibit exceptional cutting performance, penetration, and edge retention.
