1.4116 Hunting Knife Blank - K12 (K12)

1.4116 Hunting Knife Blank - K12

Hunting blades live or die on the belly. A sweeping edge does the skinning work without the tip catching, and the point stays fine enough for careful cuts.

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.

Every blank starts as certified Voestalpine stock. We profile and hand grind it in our own workshop, then send it back to Voestalpine for professional heat treatment.
