1.4116 Sandblasted Knife Blank - SK17 (SK17)

1.4116 Sandblasted Knife Blank - SK17

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

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.

Steel sourced from Voestalpine, hand ground by our team, then heat treated professionally at the mill. Every blank arrives at working hardness.
