Supreme Series vs Retro Series

Supreme uses German 1.4116 stainless steel at 57 HRC — the softest and most forgiving option with excellent toughness, corrosion resistance, and easy sharpening. Retro upgrades to a 3-layer 10Cr15CoMoV composite at 60 HRC with red wood and black buffalo horn handles, delivering noticeably better edge retention and a more premium feel while staying tough and easy to maintain.

Key Differences:

  • Edge retention: Retro holds sharpness significantly longer
  • Handle upgrade: Buffalo horn accent vs plain red wood
  • Price: Small step up for noticeable performance gain

→ Choose Supreme for the best value workhorse
→ Choose Retro for longer-lasting sharpness and premium materials without a big price jump
