Szco 4" Drop Point Blade Blank Attached Guard

The Szco 4" Drop Point Blade Blank Attached Guard offers a robust starting point for crafting a reliable, custom fixed blade knife. Built with a full tang construction, this blank provides maximum strength from the blade’s tip to the handle's end, ensuring stability and durability throughout even the toughest tasks. The 4-inch stainless steel blade features a satin finish, offering a sleek, professional appearance while resisting corrosion and wear. Designed with a versatile drop point shape, this blade excels in a variety of cutting tasks, from slicing and skinning to precise, detailed work, making it a great all-around tool for outdoor and everyday use.

One of the standout features of this blank is the attached brass guard, which not only adds a touch of traditional craftsmanship but also enhances the knife's safety and functionality. The brass guard provides a secure barrier between the blade and the user's hand, reducing the risk of slippage during demanding tasks. While the guard is already attached, further securing may be necessary for those who seek additional stability in their final knife build.

This blank is designed with convenience in mind, featuring pre-drilled rivet holes measuring approximately .06 inches, making it easy to attach custom handle scales. Whether you prefer wood, micarta, or synthetic materials, the holes allow for a secure attachment, giving you the flexibility to craft a handle that suits your personal style and grip preferences. A lanyard hole is also included, allowing users to add a lanyard for extra security or ease of carry, especially useful in outdoor settings where losing your knife is a concern.

At 8.37 inches overall and weighing 5.44 ounces, this knife blank strikes a balance between heft and portability, making it a practical choice for field use. It’s substantial enough to feel solid in hand, yet light enough to carry comfortably. The lack of an included sheath allows users to further personalize their creation, selecting or crafting a sheath that meets their specific needs.

Whether you're an experienced knife maker or a beginner looking to craft your first custom blade, the Szco 4" Drop Point Blade Blank Attached Guard offers a reliable, high-quality foundation at an affordable price point. Order it today from Smoky Mountain Knife Works!
