Szco 2.62" Skinner Blade Blank BL132

The Szco 2.62" Skinner Blade Blank is a high-quality starting point for knife makers seeking a compact, functional, and visually striking blade. Crafted from Damascus steel, this blank combines strength, durability, and distinctive layered aesthetics, making it ideal for creating a custom skinner knife suited for hunting, outdoor tasks, or display. With its full tang construction and thoughtfully designed handle, it provides a solid foundation for makers to craft a blade that balances performance and style.

At the heart of this blank is a 2.62-inch Damascus steel skinner blade, known for its precision, sharpness, and versatility. The skinner profile is optimized for controlled cutting and slicing, particularly useful for field dressing and other detailed tasks. The Damascus steel not only offers excellent edge retention and durability but also creates a visually striking pattern unique to each blade, giving any finished knife a handcrafted, high-end appearance. Slightly unfinished, the edge allows makers to refine and sharpen the blade to their desired level of performance, tailoring it for practical use or collector-quality display.

Full tang construction ensures maximum strength and stability, extending the steel from the blade through the handle. This design provides a secure base for attaching handle scales and contributes to the overall balance of the finished knife. The tang design allows the knife to withstand rigorous use without compromising integrity, making it suitable for functional outdoor work or precise, controlled applications.

The handle is crafted from Damascus steel and features pre-drilled holes, giving makers the flexibility to attach custom scales, such as wood, micarta, or G10, for a personalized look and feel. The pre-drilled holes simplify construction while maintaining the strength and continuity of the full tang, ensuring a secure, comfortable grip once the handle is finished.

Measuring 6.375 inches overall, this blade blank provides a compact and versatile platform for creating a high-quality skinner knife. Its combination of Damascus steel, full tang construction, and pre-drilled handle makes it an excellent choice for knife makers seeking both rugged functionality and striking visual appeal.
