Szco 4.25" Guthook Blade Blank BL138

The Szco 4.25" Guthook Blade Blank is built for makers who demand dependable steel, straightforward construction, and a platform that’s ready to become something truly personal. Whether you’re crafting your first custom knife or adding another piece to a long line of finished blades, this blank gives you the foundation you need to create a fixed blade that’ll stand up to hard use and rugged environments.

Measuring 9" overall with a 4.25" guthook blade, this blank offers a balance of cutting performance and field utility. The guthook itself is shaped for clean, efficient work and transitions smoothly into the cutting edge, giving you versatility in wilderness, hunting, and general outdoor applications. At 1/8" thick, the blade blank provides a solid backbone for a strong finished tool without feeling overly heavy or cumbersome. It’s thick enough to handle real work, thin enough for controlled cutting, and dependable enough for repeated use once finished and fitted with scales.

One of the standout features of this model is the flexibility it offers makers. It may or may not come with pre-drilled rivet holes, giving you the option to work from a clean slate or to take advantage of holes if they’re present. Either way, you're free to shape, drill, sand, and fit your handle materials exactly the way you want. This blank is ready for micarta, wood, antler, G10, or any material you prefer, making it an ideal starting point for a knife that reflects your style and purpose.

Crafted in Pakistan, the blade blank demonstrates dependable manufacturing quality paired with rugged simplicity. It doesn’t try to do the work for you—it gives you the structure, strength, and shape, while leaving the creativity and craftsmanship in your hands. From survival builds to everyday fixed blades, this blank is a reliable core for your next project.

Whether you’re rebuilding a trusted tool or starting something entirely new, the Szco Guthook Blade Blank offers durability, utility, and a straightforward design that’s made to be transformed. It’s a practical choice for knife makers who expect their materials to keep pace with their vision and their workbench demands.
