This blank gives you everything you need to craft a knife capable of handling field use, shop tasks, and daily carry, all while letting your own craftsmanship shine through.

With a 4.25" stainless steel drop point blade, this blank delivers a proven profile known for its durability and versatility. The drop point shape offers a sturdy tip, solid slicing capability, and reliable control whether you're carving, skinning, or preparing gear around camp. The stainless steel composition provides corrosion resistance that’s essential for a working knife intended to face the elements, making it a strong starting point for builds that need to hold up over time.

The full tang construction ensures maximum strength from end to end, giving your finished knife impressive stability and resilience. This structural backbone is one of the most important qualities in a handmade fixed blade, providing not just strength but proper balance once your chosen handle scales are added. Whether you're planning a rugged outdoor knife or a refined everyday cutter, the full tang gives you the durability to back it up.

A gold spacer is integrated into the design, adding a touch of visual contrast that elevates the blade blank from simple steel to something with character. This small detail helps set the stage for a finished knife that feels custom-built from the start, giving you both functional integrity and an appealing aesthetic foundation.

Measuring 9.25" overall, the blank offers a well-proportioned canvas that works for a variety of knife styles. There’s plenty of room for customizing handle materials—micarta, hardwood, antler, bone, G10, or anything else that fits your vision. Whether you're crafting for personal use, gifting a handmade blade, or adding stock to a lineup of custom builds, this blank brings reliability, ease of shaping, and long-term performance.

Solid, straightforward, and ready for your touch, the Szco stainless drop point blade blank is a smart choice for makers who want rugged capability paired with clean design.
