Hi guys,
What is the (Silver steel) in this kellam knife? Do you think it has a scandi or a secondary bevel edge?

Sort of "premium" material for forged puukko blades. I have a hunting Tommi with blade of silver steel and it is by far my sharpest knife ever.
 
In the UK "Silver Steel" tends to be this stuff:
"BS1407:1970 grade steel. Typical hardness: 207-237HB with 285HB maximum. Tensile strength: 45/55 T.P.S.I. (700/850 N/mm2). Surface finish: Better than 0.6 microns (25 micro inch) CLA (Centre Line Average).

Chemical analysis range:
Carbon 0.95 - 1.25%
Silicon 0.40% max
Manganese 0.25 - 0.45%
Phosphorous 0.045% max
Sulphur 0.045% max C
hromium 0.35 - 0.45% "
