1.4116 EDC Knife Blank - K04 (K04)

1.4116 EDC Knife Blank - K04

Eighty millimetres is the size most makers settle on for daily carry: enough edge for real cutting, still short enough that nobody looks twice when you take it out.

German 1.4116 trades ultimate hardness for toughness. It resists chipping and comes back to sharp quickly, which is exactly what a working outdoor knife needs.

Steel sourced from Voestalpine, hand ground by our team, then heat treated professionally at the mill. Every blank arrives at working hardness.
