Its proportions are designed to create natural balance and allow for a comfortable, secure grip once custom scales are added or the handle is contoured. The unshaped handle gives artisans full creative freedom to shape, texturize, and finish according to their design vision, making it suitable for a range of materials such as wood, bone, or synthetic composites.
This drop point blade blank is perfect for hobbyists, professional knife makers, and collectors who want to craft a small, functional fixed blade with both utility and artistry.
