Description
Polar 95 Carbon Steel Blade – Hammered Finish
A classic Scandinavian all-round knife blade, the Polar 95 Hammered is a versatile carbon steel blade suitable for general knife making, camp knives, and utility blades.
Manufactured in Finland, this blade is made from 80CrV2 carbon steel, offering excellent edge retention while remaining easy to sharpen. The blade comes pre-shaped and heat treated, ready for handle fitting.
The hammered surface gives the blade a traditional forged appearance. These hammer marks become more visible if the black scale is removed, for example by soaking the blade in vinegar overnight and then lightly sanding the surface (see example image).

Important fitting notes
Polar blade blanks are stamped, which helps keep the cost down. As a result, light filing of the tang and shoulders may be required before fitting a bolster.
For a matching bolster, we recommend the R30 Extended bolster.
Care instructions
As with all carbon steel blades:
- Do not leave the blade wet
- Dry thoroughly after use
- Oil lightly to prevent rust
