BOONLION HMONG CLASSIC & MODERN KNIVES

At BOONLION, we carefully select only high-performance steels to forge our Hmong knives—each chosen for its strength, edge retention, and toughness. Our lineup includes 7Cr17 is a perfect match for chopper knives, offering a strong balance of durability, corrosion resistance, and toughness. It resists rust even during heavy meat and bone work. Its 0.7% carbon content allows it to reach 55–58 HRC—hard enough for a sharp edge, yet tough enough to handle impact without chipping. 1080+ high-carbon steel provides excellent hardness and is favored for its reliable performance in cutting and chopping. Alloy steels offer balanced toughness and wear resistance for blades that take a beating and stay strong. For higher-grade performance, 9Cr18 steel is a premium knife steel with about 1% carbon and 18% chromium, known for its exceptional hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Its vacuum deep-cooling heat treatment creates a sharp, durable edge that balances toughness and sharpness—making it perfect for heavy-duty chopping of meat and bone without dulling or rusting, and ensuring long-lasting, low-maintenance performance. SUJ2 high-carbon steel from Japan is a top-tier choice for chopper knives, offering excellent hardness, edge retention, and wear resistance. Its fine grain structure allows for a sharp, precise edge, while heat treatment boosts durability and strength. Perfect for chopping pork, beef, or game, SUJ2 delivers reliable performance with every cut. N695 by Böhler provides excellent corrosion resistance, sharpness, and a clean grind. And for collectors and professionals. SKD11 and K110 are both high-quality tool steels with high carbon and chromium content, providing excellent hardness, wear resistance, and toughness. SKD11 is known for its strong edge retention and impact resistance, making it reliable for heavy chopping and industrial use. K110 offers outstanding hardness, edge stability, and better corrosion resistance compared to many tool steels, ensuring long-lasting sharpness. Together, these steels deliver durable, sharp edges ideal for premium chopper knives that withstand heavy use without dulling or damage. Finally, our Apex Ultra Damascus combines high-carbon laminated steel’s beauty and cutting power, marrying tradition with elite metallurgy.
