Szco 4.25" Damascus Guthook Blade Blank BL138D

The Szco 4.25" Damascus Guthook Blade Blank is a premium foundation for knife makers seeking a rugged, functional, and visually striking blank for custom builds. Designed for collectors, craftsmen, and outdoor enthusiasts, this blank combines the durability of Damascus steel with thoughtful design elements that enhance both performance and aesthetic appeal. Its full tang construction ensures strength and stability, making it a reliable starting point for knives built to handle demanding tasks or to serve as showcase pieces.

At the heart of this blank is a 4.25-inch Damascus steel guthook blade, expertly crafted to provide both functionality and beauty. The guthook design offers precise cutting and hooking capabilities, making it ideal for fieldwork, hunting, or utility applications. The layered Damascus steel not only delivers exceptional strength and edge retention but also provides a distinctive, patterned appearance that elevates the visual appeal of the knife. Slightly unfinished, the blade allows makers to refine the edge to their preferred sharpness and finish, ensuring a custom fit for its intended purpose.

Full tang construction adds significant structural integrity, giving the knife a solid backbone that can withstand repeated use and heavy-duty tasks. The tang extends the full length of the handle, allowing for secure attachment of scales or grip materials while maintaining balance and control in the finished knife. This blank is designed for versatility, accommodating various handle treatments, though in this model, the handle is already crafted from matching Damascus steel for a cohesive and striking appearance.

Adding a touch of elegance and craftsmanship, the handle includes a gold spacer that enhances the aesthetic appeal while providing a clear visual break between the blade and handle. This combination of Damascus steel and gold detailing creates a refined look, making the finished knife a piece worthy of both display and practical use. Measuring 9 inches overall, the blank provides a balanced size that is comfortable to handle and easy to work with during the build process.

Durable, versatile, and visually compelling, the Szco 4.25" Damascus Guthook Blade Blank delivers a robust starting point for makers seeking to craft a custom knife with strength, performance, and distinctive style.
