Combining rugged functionality with clean lines and versatile sizing, this blade blank offers the perfect platform for creating a custom knife that’s equally suited for everyday carry, light field work, and utility applications.
At the center of the SS176 is a 2.875" stainless steel clip point blade finished in a clean satin polish that delivers both visual appeal and practical performance. The clip point profile has long been trusted for its versatility, offering a fine, controllable point for precision work while retaining enough edge belly for slicing, utility cutting, and detail tasks. Whether the finished knife is built as an EDC fixed blade, compact hunter, backup field knife, or collector’s custom piece, this blade profile offers balanced cutting performance across a wide range of applications.
The stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance and dependable edge performance, making it well suited for real-world use in varying environments. It’s a practical choice for makers creating knives intended for regular carry, outdoor tasks, or utility work where durability and low maintenance are essential. The satin finish enhances the blade’s clean, professional appearance while helping reduce glare and showcasing the craftsmanship of the finished build.
Built with full tang construction, the Shark Blade Blank delivers the strength and structural reliability serious makers expect. The tang extends the full length of the handle, creating a solid backbone that ensures long-term durability while providing excellent balance and control in hand. Full tang construction also gives makers greater freedom when selecting and shaping handle scales for a truly personalized build.
Two pre-drilled holes are included for easy assembly using either 1/8" pins or 3/16" cutlery rivets, offering flexibility during the customization process. This thoughtful design feature simplifies installation while allowing builders to choose hardware that best matches the style and function of their project.
At 5.5" overall, the SS176 offers a compact footprint that makes it ideal for discreet carry and exceptional maneuverability. Its size makes it particularly well suited for neck knives, compact belt carry designs, or lightweight field tools. It pairs beautifully with a wide range of handle materials including hardwoods, micarta, G-10, stabilized woods, antler, or synthetic composites.
The JANTZ Supplies Shark Blade Blank Model SS176 is an outstanding choice for makers who value practical design, rugged stainless steel performance, and the opportunity to craft a compact custom knife with serious capability.
