Polar 77 Hammered, Carbon Steel

Polar 77 Blade in Hammered finish

 Carbon Steel blade, classic Scandinavian all-around blade shape.

Great, sharp blade for whittling, camp chores and general use that holds a sharp edge.

Blade is from Finland, made by Polar in 80 CrV2 carbon steel.

The blade is 3.2 mm thick, about 20 mm high and has about 77 mm of blade.

The blade has hammer marks, these come out better if removing the black coating.

For instance by soaking the blade in vinegar overnight (See image below)

Total length from tip to end of tang is 200 mm, the tang can be cut to fit the handle.

The Polar blades blanks are stamped out, helping to keep the cost down.

This means you will need to file the tang and shoulders of the blade a little before the bolster will fit.

As all carbon steel tools, the blade cannot be left wet to avoid rust.

Note: if wanting the matching bolster, get the R30.
