Premium HSS Steels for Knife Makers

Designed for shaping and making high-performance blade steels

STARK High-Speed Steel is engineered to deliver:

✔ Stable microstructure

✔ High abrasion resistance

✔ Hot hardness 

✔ Good Edge Retenction

✔ Consistency per batch for repeatable production

Two Specialized Grades for Maximum Performance 

DMo5 — Molybdenum-based HSS

Best for: Standard knife steels & medium-alloy steels

Key advantages:

  • Fine martensitic structure
  • Very good toughness
  • Hard carbide formation from molybdenum + vanadium
  • Stable hardness 
  • Clean edge cuts → less finishing work

👉 A practical, high-efficiency choice for most gaff-knife production.

🟨 

Co5 — Cobalt-Alloyed HSS (M35)

Best for: Harder steels, stainless, and high-performance alloys

Key advantages:

  • 5% cobalt improves hot-hardness and wear resistance
  • Maintains sharp cutting geometry under extreme conditions
  • Best for advanced knife steel materials
  • Longer edge retention

👉 This is the choice for premium tari steel and high-alloy knife blanks.

Why Knife Makers Prefer STARK HSS for Gaff-Knife Steel

  • Good Sharpness and edge retention
  • Stronger material support during heat treatment
  • Consistent quality
  • Better mechanical reliability for the finished blade
  • Industrial steel quality tailored for artisanal performance

Better steel preparation → Better final blade quality
