KARESUANDO Cutlery, Sweden Karesuando is where the eponymous knife-maker set-up shop, making what we consider to being the finest knives made anywhere in this world. And although they work in carbon, stainless, Damascus, and powder steel, their recommendation is the Sandvik 12c27 stainless steel, with a hardness of HRC57. Along with reindeer antlers, leather, and the wood from arctic Birches, these are the basic materials. The birch is from tough, mature, wind- blown, trees that rarely exceed six feet in height. All of their cutlery is warranted for ten years. So, why not have the finest?
