1.4116 Hunting Knife Blank - K14 (K14)

1.4116 Hunting Knife Blank - K14

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.

1.4116 (X50CrMoV15) is tough, highly corrosion resistant and forgiving to sharpen. For a first build or a knife that will be abused, it is the sensible choice.

We buy steel direct from Voestalpine, grind each blade by hand on the belt grinder, and return the blanks to Voestalpine for heat treatment done to spec.
