4 Inch Damascus Skinner Blade Blank for Custom Knives BL036

Every custom knife begins with a blade that inspires craftsmanship, and the Damascus Skinner Blade Blank is precisely that foundation. Crafted for makers who demand both performance and aesthetics, this fixed blade blank delivers exceptional cutting capability wrapped in the timeless beauty of Damascus steel. Whether you're a seasoned knife builder or an enthusiastic beginner, this blank invites you to create a knife that is not only highly functional but also uniquely yours.

The blade is forged from a combination of high-carbon steels, most commonly 1095 and 15N20, which are folded and layered to produce the iconic patterns only Damascus can offer. Beyond its stunning visual appeal, this forging method enhances the blade’s hardness, durability, and edge retention while still allowing for the flexibility needed in a true working knife. At 4 inches long, the clip point blade delivers a precise cutting edge with a pronounced belly, making it ideal for skinning, slicing, and other outdoor applications.

The overall length of 8.5 inches offers a well-balanced and controlled feel in the hand. The classic Skinner blade shape ensures efficient performance in game processing, while the clip point provides additional control for detailed cuts. Whether you’re field dressing game or crafting a blade that can handle everyday tasks, the Damascus Skinner Blade Blank is engineered to meet those needs with style and strength.

A brass guard adds an elegant contrast to the patterned blade while offering practical hand protection during use. The hidden tang construction provides the stability required for rugged use and allows for personalized handle crafting—whether you’re working with hardwood, antler, or composite materials, this blank is ready for transformation.
