1.4116 Tanto Knife Blank - K02

A tanto blade concentrates mass behind the point. That makes it the pattern of choice where a tip is likely to take abuse.

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.

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