Clip Point Knife Blade Blank 4.25 Inch Stainless Full Tang

The Knife Blade Blank is 8.25 inches overall with a 4.125 inch stainless clip point blade, full tang, a finger-grooved handle and a brass finger guard.

This is a blank rather than a finished knife. The blade, tang and guard are done, and the buyer fits scales to complete it, which is where knifemaking usually starts. The finger grooves and guard are already shaped, so the scales follow a profile that is set rather than needing to be designed from scratch.

Full tang means the steel runs the whole length of the handle, so whatever scales go on are pinned to a continuous piece rather than to a stub. A brass guard against stainless is the traditional pairing, and brass darkens with handling where the blade stays bright. Explore more knives.
