1.4116 Hunting Knife Blank - K17 (K17)

1.4116 Hunting Knife Blank - K17

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.

X50CrMoV15 is the pragmatic stainless. Molybdenum and vanadium give wear resistance without brittleness, and maintenance is close to zero.

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.
