The Jantz Supply Brass Tubing 1/4" x 1" is a versatile, workshop-ready material designed for custom knifemakers and craftsmen who need reliable, easy-to-work components for precision builds and detailed finishing work. Whether you're fabricating handle hardware, creating spacers, building custom pins, or adding decorative accents, this brass tubing delivers the consistency and workability needed to get the job done right.
Brass has long been a staple material in custom knife construction thanks to its ideal balance of machinability, durability, and visual appeal. This tubing is no exception. It cuts cleanly, drills easily, and machines smoothly, allowing makers to shape and fit it with confidence using standard shop tools. Its predictable behavior during fabrication makes it a dependable choice for both experienced makers and those still refining their craft.
Measuring 1/4" in outer diameter and 1" in length, this tubing is perfectly sized for a wide range of custom knife applications. It can be used as decorative handle spacers, structural pin sleeves, lanyard tube inserts, or as part of more complex handle assemblies where both function and appearance matter. Its compact length makes it especially useful for detailed work where precision and material efficiency are key.
The warm golden tone of brass brings a timeless, traditional look to any knife build. It pairs exceptionally well with a wide variety of handle materials including hardwoods, bone, stag, micarta, G-10, and stabilized exotic woods. When combined with polished stainless steel or carbon steel blades, brass accents create a striking contrast that enhances the overall visual balance of the finished piece.
Over time, brass naturally develops a rich patina that adds depth and character to a knife, giving it a unique, well-traveled appearance. For makers who prefer a brighter finish, it also polishes beautifully, producing a smooth, reflective surface that elevates presentation-grade builds. This dual personality makes brass tubing a flexible choice for both rugged working knives and high-end custom creations.
Beyond knifemaking, this tubing can also be used in general metalworking, hobby fabrication, restoration work, and custom hardware applications where small-diameter precision tubing is required. Its adaptability makes it a valuable addition to any shop, regardless of specialization.
The Jantz Supply Brass Tubing 1/4" x 1" offers dependable quality, classic styling, and the versatility needed to bring fine detail work to life in custom knife projects and beyond.
