We decided to create a small serie called A-73 after we won the price for our A-73 legacy knife. The award we won is the Red Dot Award 2024. Its a huge milestone for us as we are a pretty small company and we would never dream to win this price.
There is also few knife companies in the world that have got a price in the Red Dot Award and now we are one of them. :-D
It will be official 10 of October 2024 but we are soft launching our A-73 now as it have been pretty many people asking for them :-)

The handle is made of olive wood for it smoothness. We use our St650 powder steel (you could read more about it on our homepage or below) and use a classical pattern in our blade. Compare to the Legacy knife that have a wave pattern.
And we used pretty high sand pressure so the pattern be more visual. But also make the blade have a little more texture.

ST650 powder steel is a new steel type me and my partners have developed.
ST650 powder steel is tested with the
ISO 29581-2 / SP0653 /SP1494 standards
