1.4116 Sandblasted Knife Blank - SK02 (SK02)

1.4116 Sandblasted Knife Blank - SK02

The blasted surface is a practical finish: no reflections in the field and no need to chase a mirror polish on the flats.

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

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.
