1.4116 Sandblasted Knife Blank - SK04 (SK04)

1.4116 Sandblasted Knife Blank - SK04

A sandblasted finish hides scratches and kills glare. It also gives a grippy, matte surface that looks finished straight off the blank.

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.

The steel comes straight from Voestalpine. Profiling and grinding happen on our benches; hardening and tempering go back to the mill.
