1.4116 Sandblasted Knife Blank - SK16 (SK16)

1.4116 Sandblasted Knife Blank - SK16

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

German 1.4116 trades ultimate hardness for toughness. It resists chipping and comes back to sharp quickly, which is exactly what a working outdoor knife needs.

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.
