CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESStep into the legacy of fine knife-making with the Upswept Skinner Knife Blank—a hidden tang masterpiece designed for craftsmen who value form as much as function. With a 6.25" upswept stainless steel blade and a total length of 11", this blank is a tribute to classic outdoor knives used by hunters, trappers, and field experts for generations. The blade shape features a broad, curved belly ideal for skinning and slicing tasks, while the fine tip delivers precise control for delicate cuts.
What truly sets this knife blank apart is its hidden tang construction. Unlike full tang designs, the hidden tang allows the blade to flow cleanly into the handle, offering a smooth, uninterrupted profile. This construction invites creativity, allowing you to shape your handle material into rounded or contoured designs that feel natural in the hand and stand out visually. Whether you're working with exotic hardwoods, bone, antlers, or synthetics, the hidden tang offers endless styling possibilities while maintaining structural integrity.
The blade itself is crafted from tough stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance and excellent edge retention. It’s built to perform in the field, whether it’s for processing game, preparing camp meals, or tackling bushcraft chores. The upswept shape enhances slicing efficiency, making it a favorite among outdoorsmen who demand both performance and durability.
To further elevate your build, the blank includes a pre-fitted brass guard. This detail not only improves safety and grip but also gives your finished knife a refined, custom appearance. The brass guard blends beautifully with a wide variety of handle materials, contributing to both style and balance.
Whether you're a seasoned knifemaker or a skilled hobbyist looking to take on a rewarding project, the Upswept Skinner Knife Blank delivers everything you need to craft a timeless tool. It’s more than just a blade—it’s a foundation for artistry, utility, and heritage.
