Laurin PT 62mm Blade

This would be a good blade for a small puukko knife. This blade is from Laurin’s “Progressive Tempered” line, which mimics laminated blades without incurring the added thickness of lamination, resulting in a very sharp, very durable blade that slices better than a laminated blade because it is thinner. The progressive tempering results in a blade with an edge hardened to 63 Rockwell, with a body that is softer but more durable.

Below are the detailed measurements of this blade:
  Overall Length: 6.75 inches (17.5 cm)
  Blade Length: 2.25 inches (5.75 cm)
