1.4116 Sandblasted Knife Blank - SK14 (SK14)

1.4116 Sandblasted Knife Blank - SK14

A sandblasted finish hides scratches and kills glare. It also gives a grippy, matte surface that looks finished straight off the blank. A full tang knife blank, so the scales pin straight to the steel.

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.
