SHOP CASE KNIVESCraft a Legacy with the Damascus Steel Knife Blank
For knife makers who demand both beauty and performance, the Damascus Steel Drop Point Knife Blank is the ideal starting point for a custom blade that will stand the test of time. Whether you're crafting your first knife or your fiftieth, this premium blank offers a solid foundation for a high-performance tool with timeless character.
At the heart of this knife blank is a stunning 5-inch Damascus steel blade, meticulously forged from layers of high-carbon steel. The resulting pattern is more than just visually striking—it tells a story of strength, resilience, and craftsmanship. Each blade is unique, with its flowing pattern reminiscent of rippling water, ensuring that your finished knife is truly one of a kind.
The drop point blade profile is a favorite among hunters, outdoorsmen, and EDC enthusiasts for good reason. Its broad belly makes slicing tasks efficient and smooth, while the gently sloping spine and strong tip allow for precise control in detailed work. Whether you're field dressing game, carving wood, or tackling everyday cutting tasks, this blade is engineered to handle it all with ease.
Durability and balance are built into every inch of this blank, thanks to its full tang construction. The single piece of steel runs the entire 9.5-inch length of the knife, providing a sturdy backbone that supports the blade and handle evenly. With a 4.5-inch handle length, it’s sized for a comfortable, secure grip, and ready to be fitted with your favorite handle materials—whether that’s hardwood, antler, micarta, or stabilized bone.
To save you time and ensure professional-quality results, the Damascus Steel Knife Blank comes pre-fitted with a solid brass guard and pre-drilled with two pin holes and a lanyard hole. This means less prep and more focus on the part that matters most—shaping a knife that reflects your style and craftsmanship.
This isn’t just a knife project. It’s a chance to forge something lasting. Whether it becomes a trusted tool or a family heirloom, the knife you create with this blank will carry your mark for years to come.
