Enzo ss

[Snufkin]

I like making my own carbon steel knives but sometimes you need a wet weather knife so I went on the search for a stainless blade. I had a look on the Brisa website and saw thier new range of Enzo blades. They looked like they'd fit the bill so I ordered up the stainless version (if the D2 hadn't have been hollow ground I'd have had that instead).
Enzo blade, grey Corian scales with black liners and stainless pins.

I've not had a chance to test it yet so time will tell on edge retension and ease of sharpening.

Hi Snufkin,

really like the look of these blades, i've been looking at the carbon version on "The Good Stuff Shop" site............

After what you've said don't know if this is scandi ground or not now?

Really must get round to having a go at putting a handle on a blade myself (moving house shortly and will have a nice big workshop to play in)

Got a fantastic stick tang blade from Julius Pettersson when i was over in Sweden in June but just not had time to do anything with it due to the forthcoming house move.

You've made a cracking job there make sure you keep us posted on how you get on with edge retention and sharpening.

None of them are zero ground scandi grind. they are scandi with a secondary bevel

From looking on the Brisa site the carbon and stainless versions are flat ground with a very slight secondary bevel and the D2 comes in a hollow grind. With the high grind you need the secondary bevel for edge strength but when I need to sharpen it I'll put a slight convex on it. The blade looks well finished and was easy to put together and it has a nice square spine that will throw a spark from a ferro rod if that's your prefered firelighting method.
