EKA: Knives with Sandvik steel blades for hunting and the outdoors
EKA has made knives in Eskilstuna, Sweden, since 1882. With us you will find the SwedBlade knives, which cut reliably when hunting, outdoors and at work.
EKA: blades with a long tradition
The story of EKA begins in 1882 with Hadar Hallström Knivfabriks AB. In 1917 it was renamed Eskilstuna Knivfabriks Aktiebolag, and its initials became EKA. The company is still based in Eskilstuna, Sweden, today. Since 1990 EKA has been a purveyor to the Swedish Royal Court. Final assembly, finishing and quality control mostly take place in Eskilstuna, with some manufacturing in Portugal and China. For its blades EKA uses, among others, the Swedish Sandvik 12C27 steel.

We stock the SwedBlade G5 and G6 knives. They are made for anyone who needs a fixed-blade knife out in the field, for field dressing, for camping or for work around the farm. Both models sit securely in the hand and are quickly ready whenever there is something to cut outdoors.
Frequently asked questions
What makes Sandvik 12C27 special?
The steel resists rust, holds its edge well and is still easy to resharpen. That is why it is a popular choice for hunting and outdoor knives.
How do I care for my EKA knife after hunting?
Clean the blade with warm water, dry it thoroughly and only put the knife back in its sheath once it is completely dry. A drop of oil gives the blade extra protection.
