JANTZ Supplies Brass Barstock .188" x .75" x 12" Model CP404

The JANTZ Supplies Copper Barstock is a premium material choice for custom knifemakers and craftsmen who want to add durability, functionality, and unmistakable visual appeal to their projects. Built for versatility and precision fabrication, this solid copper stock provides the ideal foundation for crafting knife guards, bolsters, spacers, pommels, and a wide range of custom accessories that elevate a knife from functional to exceptional.
Copper has long been valued by makers for its unique balance of workability and character. Soft enough to machine, file, drill, and shape with relative ease, yet durable enough to stand up to years of use, it offers excellent flexibility during the building process without sacrificing finished quality. Whether you're hand-fitting a guard for a custom fixed blade or machining detailed accents for a folding knife project, this barstock gives you the consistency and reliability needed for clean, professional results.
Measuring .75" wide by 12" long and featuring a substantial .188" thickness, this copper barstock provides plenty of material for multiple projects or larger custom applications. Its dimensions make it ideal for producing guards with strong structural support, decorative liners, accent spacers, or detailed fittings that add both strength and refined visual contrast to a finished knife.
One of copper’s greatest advantages is its natural aging process. Over time, it develops a rich patina that gives each project a unique character and depth that can’t be replicated by synthetic materials. For makers who prefer a brighter finish, it also polishes to an eye-catching shine that pairs exceptionally well with high-polish stainless steel, Damascus, carbon steel, exotic hardwoods, micarta, bone, or stag handle materials.
Beyond its visual appeal, copper offers excellent corrosion resistance and dependable long-term performance, making it a practical as well as attractive material choice. It’s especially popular among makers creating heirloom-quality knives, historical reproductions, or high-end presentation pieces where craftsmanship and detail matter.
This barstock is also well-suited for creative fabrication beyond knifemaking. It can be used for custom hardware, decorative inlays, tooling projects, and other precision metalworking applications where strength and appearance go hand in hand.
For makers who appreciate premium materials and the opportunity to add distinctive handcrafted detail to every build, the JANTZ Supplies Copper Barstock delivers the quality, versatility, and timeless appeal needed to bring custom projects to life.
