SHOP CASE KNIVESThe GTI Small Clip Point 1095 Blade Blank is built for makers who want dependable performance in a compact, no-nonsense platform. Crafted from tough 1095 high carbon steel, this blade blank offers the strength, edge retention, and ease of sharpening that knife builders and outdoorsmen trust in the field. Whether you're outfitting it as a lightweight EDC or crafting a custom small game skinner, this blank is ready to work.
With a full tang construction, this 5.25" overall blank provides a solid backbone for any custom handle material you choose. The 3.125" clip point blade is designed for versatility—perfect for detail work, slicing, and light-duty piercing tasks. The clip point profile brings the tip closer to the center line, offering greater control without sacrificing durability. It's a shape that's been proven over time, from hunting kits to survival setups.
The raw 1095 carbon steel construction is a favorite among custom makers for good reason. It takes a wicked edge with minimal effort and stands up to repeated sharpening without chipping out. It also offers a clean, classic look that’s well-suited to patinas or forced finishes for those who want to personalize their blade even further. While it requires a bit more maintenance than stainless, the trade-off in edge performance is well worth it for serious users.
This blank is an ideal canvas for creative makers—whether you're wrapping it in wood, antler, micarta, or composite scales, the full tang gives you plenty of surface to anchor a solid, long-lasting handle. It’s compact enough for pocket carry but sturdy enough for daily tasks, making it an excellent base for building a blade that blends craftsmanship with utility. Order it today from SMKW!
