5in Stainless Steel Plain Satin Skinner Blade Blank BL154

The 5-inch Stainless Steel Plain Satin Skinner Blade Blank is the perfect starting point for knife makers, hobbyists, and outdoor enthusiasts who want to craft a custom skinner knife designed for performance and personal style. Whether you are an experienced bladesmith or tackling your very first knife-making project, this blade blank provides the essential foundation for creating a tool that is both rugged and unique.

At the heart of this blank is a 5-inch stainless steel blade featuring a sleek satin finish. Stainless steel is prized for its durability, corrosion resistance, and ability to hold a sharp edge through repeated use. The satin finish not only enhances the blade’s clean and professional look but also minimizes glare while highlighting the quality craftsmanship of the steel. Designed in the classic skinner style, this blade excels at precision cutting, skinning game, and performing detailed outdoor tasks. Its sweeping curve ensures maximum efficiency for hunters and outdoor adventurers who need a reliable edge in the field.

One of the defining features of this blade blank is its full tang construction. A full tang means the steel extends throughout the length of the handle, providing unmatched strength, balance, and stability in the finished knife. This construction style is preferred by knife makers who want their creations to stand up to years of hard use without compromising performance. With this solid foundation, your finished skinner knife will feel comfortable, balanced, and dependable in hand.

The 5-inch Skinner Blade Blank also allows for complete customization when it comes to handle design. The open tang design means you can choose the handle material that best fits your style and functional needs. From natural options such as hardwoods, bone, or antler to modern choices like Micarta or G-10, the customization possibilities are endless. Whether you prefer a traditional rustic look or a contemporary tactical finish, this blank gives you the flexibility to make your knife truly one of a kind.

Measuring 9 inches overall, this blank is the ideal size for crafting a compact yet capable fixed blade skinner. Lightweight, well-balanced, and versatile, it’s designed to handle everything from field dressing game to everyday cutting tasks. Knife makers and collectors alike will appreciate the combination of durability and artistry this blank provides, making it an excellent choice for both practical use and custom projects.

For those who enjoy the satisfaction of building their own knives, the 5-inch Stainless Steel Plain Satin Skinner Blade Blank is more than just a blade—it’s an opportunity.
