The blade of the Fällkniven HK6L Hunters Knife, Maroon Micarta, hunting knife measures 9 cm in length and 4.5 mm in thickness. The total length is 19.6 cm.
This knife has a convex grind. This is a special sharpening method where the side of the blade continues in one convex curve to a razor-sharp edge. This sharpening method is often applied by hand in the factory. The great advantage of a convex grind is that it offers the perfect balance between minimal cutting resistance and optimum strength of the edge. You maintain a convex edge by stropping it.
The blade of this knife is enhanced with a 'satin finish'. This is an industry standard and tasteful finish that is very popular.

More info on 3G Steel
3G steel, a high-performance marvel from the Swedish knife masters at Fällkniven, emerges as a laminated powerhouse that fuses a core of Super Gold Powder Steel (SGPS) with outer layers of VG2 stainless steel, creating a blade that’s as tough as it is exclusive. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill metal—SGPS, also known as SG2, MC63, or Kobelco R2 depending on who’s wielding it, brings a cocktail of 1.25-1.45% carbon, 14-16% chromium, 2.3-3.3% molybdenum, and 1.8-2.2% vanadium, spiked with manganese, silicon, and whispers of phosphorus and sulfur, all melded through a secretive powder metallurgy process that yields a fine-grained beast clocking in at 62 HRC. The VG2 jackets, softer yet corrosion-resistant, wrap this core like armor, boosting the blade’s strength by at least 20% over solid stainless rivals, making it a go-to for survival knives that laugh at harsh conditions. Edge retention is where 3G struts its stuff—users rave about its ability to stay sharp through marathon cutting sessions, outpacing steels like VG-10 or N690, though it trades a bit of toughness compared to softer champs like 14C28N, and sharpening it demands skill thanks to its hardness and vanadium carbides. Born in Japan’s Takefu forges, refined by Fällkniven’s Nordic alchemy, 3G carries a mystique—its exact crafting veiled in shadow, driving up its price and rarity, yet delivering a balance of wear resistance, corrosion defiance, and durability that’s tough to match. Picture a knife that could cleave through seasons without flinching, a collector’s prize or a bushcrafter’s dream—3G steel doesn’t just perform; it reigns, a testament to what happens when metallurgy meets obsession.
