High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESForge a legacy with the Upswept Skinner Damascus Blade Blank—a blend of art, tradition, and performance tailored for the craftsman who refuses to compromise. Measuring 6.50 inches in overall length with a 4-inch upswept blade, this fixed blade blank is a masterclass in design and durability. It’s crafted from premium Damascus steel, renowned for its striking, wave-like patterns and legendary resilience. Every blade showcases the time-honored technique of layering and folding steel, offering not only a unique visual texture but also enhanced toughness and edge retention.
What sets this blade apart is its hidden tang construction—a feature favored by experienced knifemakers seeking a sleek, seamless transition between blade and handle. Whether you choose polished antler, stabilized burlwood, or rugged Micarta, the hidden tang lets you sculpt a solid, uninterrupted grip that’s both aesthetically refined and functionally secure. This construction eliminates the need for visible hardware along the spine, giving your finished knife a clean, elegant profile worthy of professional showcases or personal pride.
Designed for utility as much as beauty, the upswept Skinner profile delivers where it matters. The curved belly provides an ideal cutting angle for skinning game, slicing, and other precise tasks. Outdoorsmen will value its versatility in the field, while craftsmen will appreciate how its geometry allows for a custom handle that complements the blade’s graceful silhouette.
The Upswept Skinner Damascus Blade Blank isn’t just a project—it’s an invitation to create something lasting. Whether you're a seasoned bladesmith or a passionate hobbyist, this blank provides the foundation for a tool that balances function with form. Once complete, your knife won’t just be sharp—it’ll be a statement of who you are and what you can craft with your own two hands.
