Blank Blades

The blanking process is used to make "blade blanks." This can be achieved by a number of different methods, depending upon the thickness of the material and the alloy content of steel to be cut.

Blank Blades Collection – FAQs

What is a “blank blade”?

A blank blade is a knife or machete blade that is shaped, ground, and cleaned up, but without a handle or final finishing (e.g. no scales, guard, polish, or sheath). It’s ready for you (or a maker) to add your own handle materials and finishing touches.

What are these blank blades made of?

The blank blades in this collection are made from stainless steel , D2 Tool Steel , Damascus Steel .

Are blank blades legal to ship / own?

Yes, in most places blank blades are legal. However, laws vary by country and region, especially for certain blade lengths. It’s your responsibility to ensure compliance with your local laws.

What can I use blank blades for?

They’re great for DIY knife making, customizing your own handle, collecting, or even for practice polishing and sculpting. Because they come without handles or final finishing, you can create something truly unique.

Do blank blades come with any finishing or sharpening?

Generally blank blades are not sharpened or finished to final polish. They have the basic grind completed. If a blade is sold out or no longer available, or if finishing is possible, that will be noted in the product description.

Great quality

This knife is well balanced and is very solid. The craftsmanship of the blade is excellent. The sheath that came with it is perfect for all occasions and it built with the same quality craftsmanship as the blade. Very happy with this knife and will be ordering more knives.
